Reverse Recursion and Absolute-Value Sequence Problems

Question (I) enumerates the possible values of a4a_4; question (II) proves that if there is a maximum value, it must contain 00; question (III) uses proof by contradiction to prove that the positive term sequence has no upper bound: assuming there is an upper bound MM, we can derive two adjacent items, one large and one small. After three steps of recursion, the large term increases and the small term 2times2\\times is exceeded. Continuous repetition will eventually exceed MM, contradictory.
