PL-OM 2023 Problem 3

    Given a positive integer n≥2n \geq 2 and real numbers a1,a2,…,an∈[0,1]a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n \in [0,1] . Prove that there exist real numbers b1,b2,…,bn∈{0,1}b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_n \in \{0,1\} , such that for all 1≤k≤l≤n1\leq k\leq l \leq n we have ∣∑i=kl(ai−bi)∣≤nn+1.\left| \sum_{i=k}^l (a_i-b_i)\right| \leq \frac{n}{n+1}.
