Problem 3

Let n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N} and 0≤a1≤a2≤…≤an≤π0\leq a_1\leq a_2\leq\ldots\leq a_n\leq\pi and b1,b2,…,bnb_1,b_2,\ldots ,b_n are real numbers for which the following inequality is satisfied : ∣∑i=1nbicos⁡(kai)∣<1k\left|\sum_{i=1}^{n} b_i\cos(ka_i)\right|<\frac{1}{k} for all k∈Nk\in\mathbb{N} . Prove that b1=b2=…=bn=0b_1=b_2=\ldots =b_n=0 .
