Extract

The purpose of this paper is to present some results regarding the limit is of the sequence

In the problem proposed by A. G. Ioachimescu in 1895 [1], it is asked to be shown that the sequence , defined by , for each , is convergent and its limit lies between -2 and -1.

There have been given many generalisations and other results regarding Ioachimescu's problem in the literature (see, for example, [2, problem 3.1, p. 431], [3,4], [5, Theorem 1, parts (a) and (b)], [6, problem P2, parts (i) and (ii)], [7, 8]).
