Problem 2

Find all functions f:R→Rf : R \to R satisfying f(x)f(y)=f(x+y)+xyf(x)f(y) = f(x + y) + xy for all x,y∈Rx, y \in R .

Problem 4

Problem 5

For any non-negative integer nn , we say that a permutation (a0,a1,...,an)(a_0,a_1,...,a_n) of {0,1,...,n}\{0,1,..., n\} is quadratic if k+akk + a_k is a square for k=0,1,...,nk = 0, 1,...,n . Show that for any non-negative integer nn , there exists a quadratic permutation of {0,1,...,n}\{0,1,..., n\} .
