IMO 2023 Problem 3

  • Day 1

For each integer k≥2k\geq 2 , determine all infinite sequences of positive integers a1a_1 , a2a_2 , …\ldots for which there exists a polynomial PP of the form P(x)=xk+ck−1xk−1+⋯+c1x+c0,P(x)=x^k+c_{k-1}x^{k-1}+\dots + c_1 x+c_0, where c0c_0 , c1c_1 , \dots, ck−1c_{k-1} are non-negative integers, such that P(an)=an+1an+2⋯an+kP(a_n)=a_{n+1}a_{n+2}\cdots a_{n+k} for every integer n≥1n\geq 1 .
