MK-MO 1994 Problem 3

    a) Let x1,x2,...,xnx_1, x_2, ..., x_n ( n>2n> 2 ) be negative real numbers and x1+x2+...+xn=m.x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n = m. Determine the maximum value of the sum S=x1x2+x1x3+⋯+x1xn+x2x3+x2x4+⋯+x2xn+⋯+xn−1xn.S = x_1x_2 + x_1x_3 + \dots + x_1x_n + x_2x_3 + x_2x_4 + \dots + x_2x_n + \dots + x_ {n-1} x_n. b) Let x1,x2,...,xnx_1, x_2, ..., x_n ( n>2n> 2 ) be nonnegative natural numbers and x1+x2+...+xn=m.x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n = m. Determine the maximum value of the sum S=x1x2+x1x3+⋯+x1xn+x2x3+x2x4+⋯+x2xn+⋯+xn−1xn.S = x_1x_2 + x_1x_3 + \dots + x_1x_n + x_2x_3 + x_2x_4 + \dots + x_2x_n + \dots + x_ {n-1} x_n.
