Let $a_n$,$b_n$,$c_n$be sequences of nonnegative numbers satisfying ,for all integers $n\geq 0$, \begin{align*} a_{n+1}\leqslant (1-\lambda_n)a_n+b_n+c_n \end{align*} with $\lambda_n\in [0,1]$,$\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty}\lambda_n=+\infty$,$b_n=o(\lambda_n)$as$n\to \infty$,and$\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty}c_n<+\infty$.Prove that the sequence $\{a_n\}$ converges to zero.
Once we have proved that $\{a_n\}$ converges,then we can conclude that $\lim_{n\to \infty}a_n=0$.In fact,we set $\lim_{n\to \infty}a_n=\alpha$,then $\alpha\geq 0$.Suppose $\alpha>0$,then we can find an integer $N$,such that for all $n\geq N$, \begin{align*} a_{n+1}\leqslant &a_n-\lambda_n(a_n-\frac{b_n}{\lambda_n})+c_n\\ <&a_n-\frac{\alpha}{2}\lambda_n+c_n\\ \Rightarrow \frac{\alpha}{2}\lambda_n<&a_n-a_{n+1}+c_n. \end{align*}
then we can get \begin{align*} \frac{\alpha}{2}\sum_{n=N}^\infty\lambda_n<a_N-\alpha+\sum_{n=N}^\infty c_n<+\infty. \end{align*} which is a contradiction to the fact that $\sum_{n=0}^{+\infty}\lambda_n=+\infty$!So it must be that $\alpha=0$.
What puzzles me is how to prove $\{a_n\}$ converges.Can anyone give me some help?Thanks in advance.
I have got it!We should discuz the relation between$a_n$and$d_n=:\frac{b_n}{\lambda_n}$。One case is there are finite numbers of $a_n$which is not greater than $d_n$,then when $n$is large enough ,we have$a_{n+1}\leqslant a_n+c_n$,and by this We can prove that$\{a_n\}$is convergent,and associating with the preceding analysis,It must be convergent to 0;The other case,there are infinite numbers of $a_n$which is not greater than $d_n$,We pick them out and can construct a sequence which is convergent to zero,then We can easily prove that $\{a_n\}$converges to 0.
