An infinite sequence x0,x1,x2,x_0, x_1, x_2, \ldots of real numbers is said to be bounded if there is a constant CC such that xiC|x_i| \leq C for every i0i \geq 0.

Given any real number a>1a > 1, construct a bounded infinite sequence x0,x1,x2,x_0, x_1, x_2, \ldots such that

xixjija1|x_i - x_j||i - j|^a \geq 1

for every pair of distinct nonnegative integers i,ji, j.
