APMO 2015 Problem 5

  • Paper
  • Answer

Determine all sequences a0,a1,a2,…a_{0}, a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots of positive integers with a0≥2015a_{0} \geq 2015 such that for all integers n≥1n \geq 1 : (i) an+2a_{n+2} is divisible by ana_{n}; (ii) ∣sn+1−(n+1)an∣=1\left|s_{n+1}-(n+1) a_{n}\right|=1, where sn+1=an+1−an+an−1−⋯+(−1)n+1a0s_{n+1}=a_{n+1}-a_{n}+a_{n-1}-\cdots+(-1)^{n+1} a_{0}.

Show the answer

a_{n}=c(n+2) n! \text{ for all } n \geq 1 \text{ and } a_{0}=c \pm 1 \text{ for some integer } c \geq 2014
