Real Analysis is a significant area of mathematical research that deals with the behavior of real numbers, sequences, and functions. A cornerstone of this field is the concept of sequence convergence, which involves understanding how sequences behave as they progress towards infinity. In real analysis, a sequence is an ordered list of numbers defined by some rule, and convergence refers to a sequence approaching a specific value, known as its limit, as the number of terms grows without bound.

In the given exercise, we explore a specific sequence \(y_n\) where convergence is not immediately apparent due to its recursive relationship, further highlighting the need for rigorous analysis. Real Analysis provides the tools for such an examination, through techniques like the \(\epsilon-\delta\) definition of limits, the Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem and various convergence tests. These are essential topics in understanding the foundational principles behind sequence convergence.

Mathematical induction is a powerful proof technique commonly used in sequences to show that a property holds for all natural numbers. It’s based on two steps: proving the base case, and proving that if the property holds for an arbitrary case \(n\), then it holds for \(n+1\). In the context of sequences, induction can be employed to establish properties like boundedness, monotonicity, and ultimately convergence.

When applying induction to sequences, as seen in our exercise, we start with an initial assumption for the sequence's behavior (in our case, \(y_{1}
