Thread: Iterative calculations

Hey, does anybody know a rule to find the limit of a series based on iterative calculations?
I mean:

A = 0,5 B
B = 3 A

When the number of iteractions = infinite, what will be the values of A and B?

In mathematics, "series" usually refers to the sum of a sequence of numbers, not a sequence itself.

Do you mean the following recurrence relation?




In this case, and , so both and tend to infinity.
