OBM 2026 Problem 4

    Para nn inteiro positivo, defina

    f(n)=⌊(n+1)3⌋−⌊n3⌋.f(n) = \left\lfloor \sqrt{(n+1)^3} \right\rfloor - \left\lfloor \sqrt{n^3} \right\rfloor.

    Prove que existem infinitos inteiros positivos nn tais que f(n+1)<f(n)f(n+1) < f(n).

    Observação: para um número real xx, define-se ⌊x⌋\lfloor x \rfloor como o maior inteiro que é menor ou igual a xx. Por exemplo, ⌊1⌋=⌊1⌋=1\left\lfloor \sqrt{1} \right\rfloor = \lfloor 1 \rfloor = 1, ⌊2⌋=1\left\lfloor \sqrt{2} \right\rfloor = 1 e ⌊14⌋=3\left\lfloor \sqrt{14} \right\rfloor = 3.
