Given the natural numbers with $0 in mathbb N$.



Let $m in mathbb N$ with $m ge 1$.



We define the sequence $(a_{(m,n)})_{,n ge 1}$ in $mathbb Q$ as follows:



$quad text{Set } u_n = [frac{n times n}{m}] quad text{ ([.] is the floor function)}$.



$quad text{Set } v_n = text{ the greatest natural number with } v_n^2 le u_n$.



$quad text{Set } a_{(m,n)} = frac{v_n}{n}$.




Question: Is there a proof that the sequence $(a_{(m,n)})_{,n ge 0}$
converges to $frac{sqrt m}{m}?$




For the special case $m = 2$, see Proving that a sequence [$a_n = frac{v_n}{n},; n ge 2$] converges.

          Similarly with $m=2$ case, but using divisibility with remainder, given $ninmathbb{N}$
          $$n=mq+r, 0leq r <m Rightarrow left[frac{ncdot n}{m}right]=q^2m+2qr+left[frac{r^2}{m}right] tag{1}$$
          also, we have
          $$v_n leq sqrt{u_n} < v_n +1 Rightarrow
          frac{v_n}{n}leq frac{sqrt{u_n}}{n}<frac{v_n}{n} + frac{1}{n} overset{(1)}{Rightarrow} \
          frac{v_n}{n}leq frac{sqrt{q^2m+2qr+left[frac{r^2}{m}right]}}{mq+r}<frac{v_n}{n} + frac{1}{n}Rightarrow \
          frac{v_n}{n}leq frac{sqrt{m}}{m}cdotfrac{sqrt{1+frac{2r}{qm}+frac{left[frac{r^2}{m}right]}{q^2m}}}{1+frac{r}{mq}}<frac{v_n}{n} + frac{1}{n}$$

          or
          $$0leq frac{sqrt{m}}{m}cdotfrac{sqrt{1+frac{2r}{qm}+frac{left[frac{r^2}{m}right]}{q^2m}}}{1+frac{r}{mq}} - frac{v_n}{n} < frac{1}{n} tag{2}$$



          But, from $(1)$, $m$ is a fixed number and $r$ is bounded, so when $nrightarrowinfty$ then $qrightarrowinfty$. Thus
          $$limlimits_{nrightarrowinfty} frac{sqrt{1+frac{2r}{qm}+frac{left[frac{r^2}{m}right]}{q^2m}}}{1+frac{r}{mq}}=
          limlimits_{qrightarrowinfty} frac{sqrt{1+frac{2r}{qm}+frac{left[frac{r^2}{m}right]}{q^2m}}}{1+frac{r}{mq}}=1$$

          and finally from $(2)$
          $$limlimits_{nrightarrowinfty}frac{v_n}{n}=frac{sqrt{m}}{m}$$

          The integer part satisfies
          begin{alignat*}{3}
          frac{n^2}{m}-1
          & le u_n
          && le frac{n^2}{m} \
          sqrt{u_n}-1
          & le v_n
          && le sqrt{u_n}
          end{alignat*}

          Plugging this in, we get
          $$
          sqrt{frac 1m - frac{1}{n^2}} - frac 1n
          %left( sqrt{frac 1m - frac{1}{n^2}} - 1 right) / n
          le frac{v_n}{n}
          le frac{1}{sqrt{m}}.
          $$

          The right-hand side is already $1/sqrt{m}$, and the left-hand side tends to this number.

          & le v_n
          && le sqrt{u_n}
          end{alignat*}

          Plugging this in, we get
          $$
          sqrt{frac 1m - frac{1}{n^2}} - frac 1n
          %left( sqrt{frac 1m - frac{1}{n^2}} - 1 right) / n
          le frac{v_n}{n}
          le frac{1}{sqrt{m}}.
          $$

          The right-hand side is already $1/sqrt{m}$, and the left-hand side tends to this number.

          The integer part satisfies
          begin{alignat*}{3}
          frac{n^2}{m}-1
          & le u_n
          && le frac{n^2}{m} \

          & le v_n

          Plugging this in, we get
