let P_n =Π_(k=0) ^n (1+σ^2^k ) ⇒P_n =(1+σ)(1+σ^2 )(1+σ^4 )...(1+σ^2^n ) we can prove by recurence that (1+σ^2 )(1+σ^4 )...(1+σ^2^n )=((1−σ^2^(n+1) )/(1−σ^2 )) if σ^2 ≠1( here 0<σ<1) ⇒P_n =(1+σ)((1−σ^2^(n+1) )/(1−σ^2 )) but lim_(n→+∞) σ^2^(n+1) =0 ⇒lim_(n→+∞) P_n =((1+σ)/(1−σ^2 )) =(1/(1−σ)) finally lim_(n→+∞) Π_(k=0) ^n (1+σ^2^k ) =(1/(1−σ)) .

The answer is (1/(1−δ)) let P_n =Π_(k=0) ^(n) (1+δ^2^k ). It is easy to show that P_n is actually the sum of the following geometric progession, which: − first value is 1. − common ratio is δ. − length is 2^n . P_n =Σ_(k=0) ^(2^n −1) δ^k ∀δ 0<δ<1 lim_(n→∞) P_n =(1/(1−δ))
