APMO 2002 Problem 1

  • Paper

Let a1,a2,a3,…,ana_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, \ldots, a_{n} be a sequence of non-negative integers, where nn is a positive integer.

Let

An=a1+a2+⋯+annA_{n}=\frac{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{n}}{n}

Prove that

a1!a2!…an!≥(⌊An⌋!)na_{1}!a_{2}!\ldots a_{n}!\geq\left(\left\lfloor A_{n}\right\rfloor!\right)^{n}

where ⌊An⌋\left\lfloor A_{n}\right\rfloor is the greatest integer less than or equal to AnA_{n}, and a!=1×2×⋯×aa!=1 \times 2 \times \cdots \times a for a≥1a \geq 1 (and 0!=10!=1 ). When does equality hold?
