Problem 1

Let a1,a2,...a_1, a_2,... be an infinite sequence of positive integers such that for any k,ℓ∈Z+k,\ell\in \mathbb{Z_+} , ak+ℓa_{k+\ell} is divisible by gcd⁡(ak,aℓ)\gcd(a_k,a_\ell) . Prove that for any integers 1⩽k⩽n1\leqslant k\leqslant n , anan−1…an−k+1a_na_{n-1}\dots a_{n-k+1} is divisible by akak−1…a1a_ka_{k-1}\dots a_1 .

Problem 2

Let nn be a positive integer. Denote by a(n)a(n) the ways of expression n=x1+x2+…n=x_1+x_2+\dots where x1⩽x2⩽…x_1\leqslant x_2 \leqslant\dots are positive integers and xi+1x_i+1 is a power of 22 for each ii . Denote by b(n)b(n) the ways of expression n=y1+y2+…n=y_1+y_2+\dots where yiy_i is a positive integer and 2yi⩽yi+12y_i\leqslant y_{i+1} for each ii . Prove that a(n)=b(n)a(n)=b(n) .

Problem 3

Given 2n2n points and 3n3n lines on the plane. Prove that there is a point PP on the plane such that the sum of the distances of PP to the 3n3n lines is less than the sum of the distances of PP to the 2n2n points.
