Problem 2

Let u,vu,v be positive integers. Define sequence {an}\{a_n\} as follows: a1=u+va_1=u+v , and for integers m≥1m\ge 1 ,

{a2m=am+u,a2m+1=am+v,\begin{array}{lll} \begin{cases} a_{2m}=a_m+u, a_{2m+1}=a_m+v, \end{cases} \end{array}

Let Sm=a1+a2+…+am(m=1,2,…)S_m=a_1+a_2+\ldots +a_m(m=1,2,\ldots ) . Prove that there are infinitely many perfect squares in the sequence {Sn}\{S_n\} .

Problem 4

Let n,kn,k be integers greater than 11 , n<2kn<2^k . Prove that there exist 2k2k integers none of which are divisible by nn , such that no matter how they are separated into two groups there exist some numbers all from the same group whose sum is divisible by nn .
