Question 4
A sequence of real numbers $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots$ satisfies the relation
$$
a_{n}=-\max _{i+j=n}\left(a_{i}+a_{j}\right) \quad \text { for all } n\gt 2017
$$
Prove that this sequence is bounded, i.e., there is a constant $M$ such that $\left|a_{n}\right| \leqslant M$ for all positive integers $n$.
