Theorem 3.37 in Baby Rudin: Any Counter-Examples In The Other Case?












1












$begingroup$


Here is Theorem 3.37 in the book Principles Of Mathematical Analysis by Walter Rudin, 3rd edition:




For any sequence $left{ c_n right}$ of positive numbers,
$$ liminf_{ntoinfty} frac{c_{n+1}}{c_n} leq liminf_{ntoinfty} sqrt[n]{c_n} leq limsup_{ntoinfty} sqrt[n]{c_n} leq limsup_{ntoinfty} frac{c_{n+1}}{c_n}. $$




I think I fully understand the proof by Rudin.



From Theorem 3.37 in Baby Rudin, we can also conclude that following:




For any sequence $left{ c_n right}$ of positive numbers, if the sequence $left{ frac{c_{n+1}}{c_n} right}$ converges in $mathbb{R}$, then so does the sequence $left{ sqrt[n]{c_n} right}$, and then the two limits are equal.




Am I right?



However, I'm unable to figure out the proof of or come up with any counter-examples to the following:




Suppose that $left{ c_n right}$ is a sequence of positive real numbers such that the sequence $left{ sqrt[n]{c_n} right}$ converges in $mathbb{R}$. Then so does the sequence $left{ frac{c_{n+1}}{c_n} right}$.




What if the sequence $left{ sqrt[n]{c_n} right}$ converges in $mathbb{R} cup { pm infty }$? Does the sequence $left{ frac{c_{n+1}}{c_n} right}$ then also converge in $mathbb{R} cup { pm infty }$?

    Think as $sqrt[n]{c_n}$ as (almost) the geometric mean of $c_{i+1}/c_i$ for $i=0..n$. Applying the $log$ function, we can think of this additively instead. Then the question is to find a sequence of real numbers not converging such that the Cesàro mean converges…

Concerning the first question: yes, you are right.



On the other hand, consider the sequence$$1,1,frac12,frac12,frac14,frac14,ldots$$In the case, $lim_{ntoinfty}sqrt[n]{c_n}=dfrac1{sqrt2}$, but $lim_{ntoinfty}dfrac{c_{n+1}}{c_n}$ doesn't exist.
