8 A sequence \(\left\{ \mathrm { u } _ { \mathrm { n } } \right\}\) is defined by the recurrence system
\(u _ { 1 } = 1\) and \(\mathrm { u } _ { \mathrm { n } + 1 } = \mathrm { a } - \frac { \mathrm { a } ^ { 2 } } { 2 \mathrm { u } _ { \mathrm { n } } }\) for \(n \geqslant 1\), where \(a\) is a positive constant.
Determine with justification the behaviour of the sequence for all possible values of \(a\). \section*{END OF QUESTION PAPER}
