RMM 2019 Problem 6

  • Day 2

Find all pairs of integers (c,d)(c, d), both greater than 1 , such that the following holds:

For any monic polynomial QQ of degree dd with integer coefficients and for any prime p>c(2c+1)p>c(2 c+1), there exists a set SS of at most (2c−12c+1)p\left(\frac{2 c-1}{2 c+1}\right) p integers, such that

⋃s∈S{s,Q(s),Q(Q(s)),Q(Q(Q(s))),…}\bigcup_{s \in S}\{s, Q(s), Q(Q(s)), Q(Q(Q(s))), \ldots\}

is a complete residue system modulo pp (i.e., intersects with every residue class modulo pp ).

Each of the three problems is worth 7 points. Time allowed 4124 \frac{1}{2} hours.
