  • Answer

Let pp be an odd prime number and Z>0\mathbb{Z}_{>0} be the set of positive integers. Suppose that a function f:Z>0×Z>0→{0,1}f: \mathbb{Z}_{>0} \times \mathbb{Z}_{>0} \rightarrow\{0,1\} satisfies the following properties: - f(1,1)=0f(1,1)=0; - f(a,b)+f(b,a)=1f(a, b)+f(b, a)=1 for any pair of relatively prime positive integers (a,b)(a, b) not both equal to 1 ; - f(a+b,b)=f(a,b)f(a+b, b)=f(a, b) for any pair of relatively prime positive integers (a,b)(a, b). Prove that ∑n=1p−1f(n2,p)⩾2p−2\sum_{n=1}^{p-1} f\left(n^{2}, p\right) \geqslant \sqrt{2 p}-2
