CMO 2006 Problem 5

  • Day 2

Let {an}\{a_n\} be a sequence such that: a1=12a_1 = \frac{1}{2} , ak+1=−ak+12−aka_{k+1}=-a_k+\frac{1}{2-a_k} for all k=1,2,…k = 1, 2,\ldots . Prove that (n2(a1+a2+⋯+an)−1)n≤(a1+a2+⋯+ann)n(1a1−1)(1a2−1)⋯(1an−1).\left(\frac{n}{2(a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_n)}-1\right)^n \leq \left(\frac{a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_n}{n}\right)^n\left(\frac{1}{a_1}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{a_2}-1\right)\cdots \left(\frac{1}{a_n}-1\right).
