Never mind.  It is easy if I set A_(n+1)=A_n and solve for A_n.

Does anyone know how to formally derive the limit to the following series for large n?

A_(n+1) = (1-epsilon)*(1 + A_n)

I can deduce using matlab that it is 1/epsilon - 1, but I would like to know how
to show it formally.  0 < epsilon < 1

Thanks
