Problem 2

Let pp and qq be prime numbers of the form 4k+34k+3 . Suppose that there exist integers xx and yy such that x2−pqy2=1x^2-pqy^2=1 . Prove that there exist positive integers aa and bb such that ∣pa2−qb2∣=1|pa^2-qb^2|=1 .

Problem 3

Let ai,j(∀1≤i≤n,1≤j≤n)a_{i,j}\enspace(\forall\enspace 1\leq i\leq n, 1\leq j\leq n) be n2n^2 real numbers such that ai,j+aj,i=0∀i,ja_{i,j}+a_{j,i}=0\enspace\forall i, j (in particular, ai,i=0∀ia_{i,i}=0\enspace\forall i ). Prove that 1n∑i=1n(∑j=1nai,j)2≤12∑i=1n∑j=1nai,j2.{1\over n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(\sum_{j=1}^{n} a_{i,j}\right)^2\leq{1\over2}\sum_{i=1}^{n}\sum_{j=1}^{n} a_{i,j}^2.
