Miklos Schweitzer Contest

2. Let a_0,a_1,...,a_n be a sequence of numbers. For a prime p we call the sequence (a_n) to be p-balanced if
a_0+a_p+a_{2p}+...=a_1+a_{p+1}+a_{2p+1}+...=...=a_{p-1}+a_{2p-1}+....
Suppose we have the sequence a_0,a_1,...,a_{49} which is p-balanced for every p \in \{3,5,7,11,13,17\}. Prove that all the terms of our sequence are 0’s.

3. Given a sequence a_1,a_2,...,a_n of positive integers, we define 2^A=\{a_i+a_j : i\neq j \}. Prove that we can find A using 2^A if and only if n is not a power of 2.
This means that if n is a power of 2 then there exists a sequence of integers, let’s say b_1,b_2,...,b_n, such that 2^A=2^B and the a‘s are not a permutation of b‘s. Conversely, if n is not a power of 2 then 2^A=2^B implies that the a‘s are a permutation of b‘s.

4. Prove that in a sequence of mn+1 numbers there exist an increasing subsequence of m+1 elements or a decreasing sequence of n+1 elements.

5. For any function f:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} there exist two functions f_1, \ f_2 such that f=f_1+f_2 and f_1,f_2 have the Darboux property.

6. There exist functions f:[0,1]\to [0,1] with Darboux property, such that there exist sets A,B with A\cap B=\emptyset,\ A\cup B=[0,1] and f(A)\subseteq B,\ f(B)\subseteq A.

19. Suppose we have a matrix A \in \mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{R}) such that A^3=A. Prove that rank(A) +rank (A- I_n)+rank (A + I_n)=0.

As a generalisation, we can state the following:
Given a matrix A with p(A)=0, where p is a real polynomial with distinct roots, we have \sum_{j=1}^k rank(A- x_j I) =(k-1)\cdot n, and x_i are the distinct roots of p.

46. There is a forest having a square shape with edge of 1000 meters. This forest contains 4500 oak trees having 0.5 meters in diameter. The owner of the forest wants to know if he can find a place having a rectangular place of dimensions 20 meters by 10 meters which does not intersect any of the oak trees, because he wants to build a house there. He meets a mathematician, and asks him if he can deduce the existence of such a place without going out in the field to measure things on the spot. After a few minutes and calculations, the mathematician says that he can find such a place with certainty. How did he do that?

2) F_w interchanges 0 and w.
3) |z|=1 \Rightarrow |F_w(z)|=1.
4) F_w is an involution on \mathbb{D} and thus is bijective.

      Ma bucur ca va place lista de probleme. Problema 33 am discutat-o impreuna cu niste prieteni la un concurs Traian Lalescu in urma cu cativa ani. Nu i-am gasit solutie pana de curand, prin intermediul unui site de intrebari. Problema este rezolvata in linkul urmator.

    In #5: “This is slightly different from continuity and intermediate value property. Cotinuity implies Darboux and Darboux implies Intermediate value property.” Someone posted a question about this comment at Mathematics Stackexchange: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1851413/is-intermediate-value-property-equivalent-to-darboux-property
