Cho dãy số \(\left( {{u_n}} \right)\) xác định bởi \({u_1} = 2\) và \({u_n} = 2{u_{n + 1}} - 1,\,\,\forall n \in N^*\) , có tính chất:

\({u_n} = 2{u_{n + 1}} - 1 \Rightarrow {u_{n + 1}} = \dfrac{{{u_n} + 1}}{2}\)

Ta có: \({u_n} = \dfrac{{{u_{n - 1}} + 1}}{2} \Rightarrow {u_{n + 1}} - {u_n} = \dfrac{{{u_n} + 1}}{2} - {u_n} = \dfrac{{{u_n} + 1}}{2} - \dfrac{{{u_{n - 1}} + 1}}{2} = \dfrac{1}{2}\left( {{u_n} - {u_{n - 1}}} \right)\)

Tương tự ta có \({u_n} - {u_{n - 1}} = \dfrac{1}{2}\left( {{u_{n - 1}} - {u_{n - 2}}} \right)\)

Tiếp tục như vậy ta được:

\(\begin{array}{l}
{u_{n + 1}} - {u_n} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {{u_n} - {u_{n - 1}}} \right)\\
{u_n} - {u_{n - 1}} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {{u_{n - 1}} - {u_{n - 2}}} \right)\\
{u_{n - 1}} - {u_{n - 2}} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {{u_{n - 2}} - {u_{n - 3}}} \right)\\
...\\
{u_4} - {u_3} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {{u_3} - {u_2}} \right)\\
{u_3} - {u_2} = \frac{1}{2}\left( {{u_2} - {u_1}} \right)\\
\Rightarrow \left( {{u_{n + 1}} - {u_n}} \right)\left( {{u_n} - {u_{n - 1}}} \right)\left( {{u_{n - 1}} - {u_{n - 2}}} \right)...\left( {{u_4} - {u_3}} \right)\left( {{u_3} - {u_2}} \right)\\
= \frac{1}{2}\left( {{u_n} - {u_{n - 1}}} \right).\frac{1}{2}\left( {{u_{n - 1}} - {u_{n - 2}}} \right).\frac{1}{2}\left( {{u_{n - 2}} - {u_{n - 3}}} \right)...\frac{1}{2}\left( {{u_3} - {u_2}} \right).\frac{1}{2}\left( {{u_2} - {u_1}} \right)\\
\Rightarrow \left( {{u_{n + 1}} - {u_n}} \right) = {\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{n - 1}}.\left( {{u_2} - {u_1}} \right)\\
\Leftrightarrow {u_{n + 1}} - {u_n} = \frac{1}{{{2^{n - 1}}}}\left( {{u_2} - {u_1}} \right)
\end{array}\)

Ta có:  \({u_1} = 2{u_2} - 1 \Rightarrow {u_2} = \dfrac{3}{2} \Rightarrow {u_{n + 1}} - {u_n} = \dfrac{1}{{{2^{n - 1}}}}.\left( {\dfrac{3}{2} - 2} \right) =  - \dfrac{1}{{{2^n}}} < 0\) \( \Rightarrow \left( {{u_n}} \right)\) là dãy số giảm.

\({u_{n + 1}} - {u_n} =  - \dfrac{1}{{{2^n}}} \Leftrightarrow {u_{n + 1}} = {u_n} - \dfrac{1}{{{2^n}}}\) .

Mà \({u_n} = 2{u_{n + 1}} - 1\)\( \Rightarrow {u_n} = 2\left( {{u_n} - \dfrac{1}{{{2^n}}}} \right) - 1\)\( \Leftrightarrow {u_n} = 2{u_n} - \dfrac{1}{{{2^{n - 1}}}} - 1 \Leftrightarrow {u_n} = 1 + \dfrac{1}{{{2^{n - 1}}}} < 1 + 1 = 2\)

\( \Rightarrow 1 < {u_n} < 2\)

Do đó \(\left( {{u_n}} \right)\) là dãy số bị chặn.
