IMO 2010 Problem 6

  • Day 2

Let a1,a2,a3,…a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots be a sequence of positive real numbers, and ss be a positive integer, such that an=max⁡{ak+an−k∣1≤k≤n−1}  for all  n>s.a_n = \max \{ a_k + a_{n-k} \mid 1 \leq k \leq n-1 \} \ \textrm{ for all } \ n > s. Prove there exist positive integers ℓ≤s\ell \leq s and NN , such that an=aℓ+an−ℓ  for all  n≥N.a_n = a_{\ell} + a_{n - \ell} \ \textrm{ for all } \ n \geq N.
