M&m Sequences
Schultz, Harris S.; Shiflett, Ray C.
College Mathematics Journal, v36 n3 p191-198 May 2005
Consider a sequence recursively formed as follows: Start with three real numbers, and then when k are known, let the (k +1)st be such that the mean of all k +1 equals the median of the first k. The authors conjecture that every such sequence eventually becomes stable. This article presents results related to their conjecture.
