CMOQR 2020 Problem 3

    Let NN be a positive integer and A=a1,a2,...,aNA = a_1, a_2, ... , a_N be a sequence of real numbers. Define the sequence f(A)f(A) to be f(A)=(a1+a22,a2+a32,...,aN−1+aN2,aN+a12)f(A) = \left( \frac{a_1 + a_2}{2},\frac{a_2 + a_3}{2}, ...,\frac{a_{N-1} + a_N}{2},\frac{a_N + a_1}{2}\right) and for kk a positive integer define fk(A)f^k (A) to be ff applied to AA consecutively kk times (i.e. f(f(...f(A)))f(f(... f(A))) ) Find all sequences A=(a1,a2,...,aN)A = (a_1, a_2,..., a_N) of integers such that fk(A)f^k (A) contains only integers for all kk .
