IMO 1973 Problem 6

  • Day 2

Let a1,…,ana_1, \ldots, a_n be nn positive numbers and 0<q<1.0 < q < 1. Determine nn positive numbers b1,…,bnb_1, \ldots, b_n so that:

a.) ak<bka_{k} < b_{k} for all k=1,…,n,k = 1, \ldots, n, b.) q<bk+1bk<1qq < \frac{b_{k+1}}{b_{k}} < \frac{1}{q} for all k=1,…,n−1,k = 1, \ldots, n-1, c.) ∑k=1nbk<1+q1−q⋅∑k=1nak.\sum \limits^n_{k=1} b_k < \frac{1+q}{1-q} \cdot \sum \limits^n_{k=1} a_k.
