Let $x_1,x_2,x_3\in\mathbb{R}$ be three distinct real numbers. I am interested in the convergence of the sequence $$ x_{n} = \frac{x_{n-2}+x_{n-3}}{2},\quad n = 4,5,\ldots $$ ie, $$ x_{4} = \frac{x_{2}+x_{1}}{2},\quad x_{5} = \frac{x_{3}+x_{2}}{2},\quad x_{6} = \frac{x_{4}+x_{3}}{2},\quad\cdots $$ Please note that, although related to, this is not a recursive averaging sequence with two initial values, as described and studied elsewhere --- see, for instance, Smith, Scott G. "Recursive Averaging". The Mathematics Teacher, Vol. 108, No. 7 (March 2015), pp. 553-557.
In the present case, convergence is easily verified by noting that $$ \big|\,x_{n}-x_{n-1}\,\big| = \big|\frac{x_{n-2}+x_{n-3}}{2}-\frac{x_{n-3}+x_{n-4}}{2}\big| = \big|\,\frac{1}{2} (x_{n-2}-x_{n-4})\,\big| = \big|\,\frac{1}{2^{\,n-4}}\,\big|\cdot\big|\, x_{3}-x_{1}\,\big| $$ Therefore the sequence is Cauchy and hence it converges in $\mathbb{R}$.
However, I was not able to find the limit to where the sequence converges. Computer experiments carried out with several different sets of initial values suggest that this limit should be a linear combination of the those initial values, as occurs in the case mentioned above. Also, the results of these experiments point to the existence of (how many?) sub-sequences, all converging to the very same limit.
I would appreciate some help in the analysis of this problem.
