Let Z+\mathbb{Z}^{+}be the set of positive integers. Determine all functions f:Z+→Z+f: \mathbb{Z}^{+} \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^{+} such that a2+f(a)f(b)a^{2}+f(a) f(b) is divisible by f(a)+bf(a)+b for all positive integers aa and bb.

Problem 2

Let mm be a fixed positive integer. The infinite sequence {an}n≥1\left\{a_{n}\right\}_{n \geq 1} is defined in the following way: a1a_{1} is a positive integer, and for every integer n≥1n \geq 1 we have

an+1={an2+2m if an<2man/2 if an≥2ma_{n+1}= \begin{cases}a_{n}^{2}+2^{m} & \text { if } a_{n}<2^{m} \\ a_{n} / 2 & \text { if } a_{n} \geq 2^{m}\end{cases}

For each mm, determine all possible values of a1a_{1} such that every term in the sequence is an integer.

Problem 3

Let ABCA B C

be a scalene triangle with circumcircle Γ\Gamma. Let MM be the midpoint of BCB C. A variable point PP is selected in the line segment AMA M. The circumcircles of triangles BPMB P M and CPMC P M intersect Γ\Gamma again at points DD and EE, respectively. The lines DPD P and EPE P intersect (a second time) the circumcircles to triangles CPMC P M and BPMB P M at XX and YY, respectively. Prove that as PP varies, the circumcircle of △AXY\triangle A X Y passes through a fixed point TT distinct from AA.

Problem 4

  • Paper

Consider a 2018×20192018 \times 2019 board with integers in each unit square. Two unit squares are said to be neighbours if they share a common edge. In each turn, you choose some unit squares. Then for each chosen unit square the average of all its neighbours is calculated. Finally, after these calculations are done, the number in each chosen unit square is replaced by the corresponding average. Is it always possible to make the numbers in all squares become the same after finitely many turns?

Determine all the functions f:R→Rf: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} such that

f(x2+f(y))=f(f(x))+f(y2)+2f(xy)f\left(x^{2}+f(y)\right)=f(f(x))+f\left(y^{2}\right)+2 f(x y)

for all real number xx and yy.
