### Proving a sequence is a cauchy [duplicate]

Let's suppose that $a_n$ satisfy $|a_{n+1}-a_n|<2^{-n}$ for all $n$ . How can I prove that $a_n$ is a cauchy sequence?

### A sequence of real numbers such that $\lim_{n\to+\infty}|x_n-x_{n+1}|=0$ but it is not Cauchy

Give an example of a sequence $(x_n)$ of real numbers, where $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to+\infty}|x_n-x_{n+1}|=0$, but $(x_n)$ is not a Cauchy sequence

### $\{a_n\}$ is a Cauchy sequence, if $a_{n+2} = \frac{a_n + a_{n+1}}{2}$

Suppose that the sequence $\{a_n\}$ satisies the relation $$a_{n+2} = \frac{a_n + a_{n+1}}{2},$$ for all $n \in \mathbb{N}_{+}$ Prove that $\{a_n\}$ is a Cauchy sequence ...

### If $\lim_{n\to\infty} (a_{n+1}-a_n)=0$ and $|a_{n+2}-a_n|<\frac{1}{2^n}$ then $(a_n)$ converges

Let $(a_n)$ be a sequence such that $\lim_{n\to\infty} (a_{n+1}-a_n)=0$ and $|a_{n+2}-a_n|<\frac{1}{2^n}$ for all $n$. I have to decide whether or not $(a_n)$ converges. My attempt: I think it ...

This question is related to the question posted here. Would a shorter proof to those in the answers, such as: Take the subsequence $\{a_m\}$ of $\{a_n\}$ where $m > 0$. By induction on $m$ $$\... 2answers 201 views ### Showing that \frac{\sin(a_{n-1}) + 1}{2} is a Cauchy sequence In my homework set, I have the following question: Show that$$ a_n = \frac{\sin(a_{n-1}) + 1}{2}, \quad a_1=0  satisfies the definition of Cauchy sequence. As we went over the concept ...
Let $\{a_n\}_{n\geq0}$ is a sequence of complex numbers such that $\frac{a_0+\cdots+a_n}{n+1}$ converges to $a$. Suppose also that $\exists M>0$ such that $n|a_{n}-a_{n-1}|<M$ for all $n\geq 1$. ...
I have to prove that for a sequence $\{a_n\}$ with $|a_{n+1} - a_n| < 2^{-n}$ is convergent. So I thought, that if a be a series then it will convergence against $\dfrac{1}{2^n}$ and for $n>1$ ...
