ISL 1989 Problem 69

    Let kk and ss be positive integers. For sets of real numbers {α1,α2,…,αs}\{\alpha_1, \alpha_2, \ldots , \alpha_s\} and {β1,β2,…,βs}\{\beta_1, \beta_2, \ldots, \beta_s\} that satisfy

    ∑i=1sαij=∑i=1sβij∀j={1,2…,k}\sum^s_{i=1} \alpha^j_i = \sum^s_{i=1} \beta^j_i \forall j = \{1,2 \ldots, k\}

    we write {α1,α2,…,αs}=k{β1,β2,…,βs}.\{\alpha_1, \alpha_2, \ldots , \alpha_s\} \overset{k}{=} \{\beta_1, \beta_2, \ldots , \beta_s\}.

    Prove that if {α1,α2,…,αs}=k{β1,β2,…,βs}\{\alpha_1, \alpha_2, \ldots , \alpha_s\} \overset{k}{=} \{\beta_1, \beta_2, \ldots , \beta_s\} and s≤k,s \leq k, then there exists a permutation π\pi of {1,2,…,s}\{1, 2, \ldots , s\} such that

    βi=απ(i)∀i=1,2,…,s.\beta_i = \alpha_{\pi(i)} \forall i = 1,2, \ldots, s.
