PL-OM 2024 Problem 5

    We are given an integer n≥2024n \ge 2024 and a sequence a1,a2,…,an2a_1,a_2,\dots,a_{n^2} of real numbers satisfying ∣ak−ak−1∣≤1kand∣a1+a2+⋯+ak∣≤1\vert a_k-a_{k-1}\vert \le \frac{1}{k} \text{and} \vert a_1+a_2+\dots+a_k\vert \le 1 for k=2,3,…,n2k=2,3,\dots,n^2 . Show that ∣an(n−1)∣≤2n\vert a_{n(n-1)}\vert \le \frac{2}{n} . Note: Proving ∣an(n−1)∣≤75n\vert a_{n(n-1)}\vert \le \frac{75}{n} will be rewarded partial points.
