Sequences — limit superior of a recursively defined sequence

For a non-negative real number aa, let a\sqrt{a} denote its non-negative square-root. Consider the sequence {xn}n≥1\{x_n\}_{n\ge1} defined by

x1=1andxn+1=1+xn2nfor n≥1.x_1=1\quad\text{and}\quad x_{n+1}=\sqrt{1+\frac{x_n^2}{n}}\quad\text{for }n\ge1 .
