IR-TST 2012 Problem 12

  • Test 2

We call a subset BB of natural numbers loyal if there exists natural numbers i≤ji\le j such that B={i,i+1,…,j}B=\{i,i+1,\ldots,j\} . Let QQ be the set of all loyal sets. For every subset A={a1<a2<…<ak}A=\{a_1<a_2<\ldots<a_k\} of {1,2,…,n}\{1,2,\ldots,n\} we set f(A)=max⁡1≤i≤k−1ai+1−aiandg(A)=max⁡B⊆A,B∈Q∣B∣.f(A)=\max_{1\le i \le k-1}{a_{i+1}-a_i} \text{and} g(A)=\max_{B\subseteq A, B\in Q} |B|. Furthermore, we define F(n)=∑A⊆{1,2,…,n}f(A)andG(n)=∑A⊆{1,2,…,n}g(A).F(n)=\sum_{A\subseteq \{1,2,\ldots,n\}} f(A) \text{and} G(n)=\sum_{A\subseteq \{1,2,\ldots,n\}} g(A). Prove that there exists m∈Nm\in \mathbb N such that for each natural number n>mn>m we have F(n)>G(n)F(n)>G(n) . (By ∣A∣|A| we mean the number of elements of AA , and if ∣A∣≤1|A|\le 1 , we define f(A)f(A) to be zero).
