Problem Statement

For any real numbers sequence {xn}\{x_n\} ,suppose that {yn}\{y_n\} is a sequence such that: y1=x1,yn+1=xn+1(i=1nxi2)12y_1=x_1, y_{n+1}=x_{n+1}-(\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n} {x^2_i})^{ \frac{1}{2}} (n1){(n \ge 1}) . Find the smallest positive number λ\lambda such that for any real numbers sequence {xn}\{x_n\} and all positive integers mm , have 1mi=1mxi2i=1mλmiyi2.\frac{1}{m}\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{m} {x^2_i}\le\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{m} {\lambda^{m-i}y^2_i} .
