Problem 1

  • Paper
  • Answer

Let f:R→Rf: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} be a function such that (i) For all x,y∈Rx, y \in \mathbb{R},

f(x)+f(y)+1≥f(x+y)≥f(x)+f(y)f(x)+f(y)+1 \geq f(x+y) \geq f(x)+f(y)

(ii) For all x∈[0,1),f(0)≥f(x)x \in[0,1), f(0) \geq f(x), (iii) −f(−1)=f(1)=1-f(-1)=f(1)=1.

Find all such functions ff.

Problem 5

  • Paper

You are given three lists A,BA, B, and CC. List AA contains the numbers of the form 10k10^{k} in base 10, with kk any integer greater than or equal to 1 . Lists BB and CC contain the same numbers translated into base 2 and 5 respectively:

AA BB CC
10 1010 20
100 1100100 400
1000 1111101000 13000
⋮\vdots ⋮\vdots ⋮\vdots

Prove that for every integer n>1n>1, there is exactly one number in exactly one of the lists BB or CC that has exactly nn digits.
