I need a function $f(x)$ that satisfies the properties bellow for all integers $k$

$$ \frac{\log(k+1)}{k+1}-\log\left(1+\frac 1 k\right)+f(k+1)-f(k)<0 \ $$ $$ \lim_{k \rightarrow \infty} f(k)=0 $$

I don't think it should be very hard sense if I let $f(x)=0$, the entire thing is already very close to zero. In addition if you find a function that doesn't work for the first few values 1,2,3.. etc, thats fine too. I would appreciate any help, thanks.

    You shouldn't use $x$ for variables ranging over integers, that can be rather confusing. I changed some $x$ to $k$, I hope you don't mind.2012-11-13

    I assume you mean the inequality holds for all *positive* integers $k$? Otherwise $k = 0$ or $k = -1$ will lead to undefined terms.2012-11-14
