Problem 3

Show that there exists a sequence x1,x2,...x_1,x_2,... of natural numbers in which every natural number occurs exactly once, such that the sums ∑i=1n1xi\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{1}{x_i} , n=1,2,3,...n = 1,2,3,... , include all natural numbers.

Problem 4

Let xi,yix_i,y_i be positive real numbers, i=1,2,...,ni = 1,2,...,n . Prove that (∑i=1n(xi+yi)2)(∑i=1n1xiyi)≥4n2\left( \sum_{i=1}^n (x_i +y_i)^2\right)\left( \sum_{i=1}^n\frac{1}{x_iy_i}\right)\ge 4n^2
