RU-ALLRUSSIAN 1991 Problem 23

  • Answer

The real numbers x1,x2,…,x1991\mathbf{x}_1,\mathbf{x}_2,\ldots ,\mathbf{x}_{1991} satisfy ∣x1−x2∣+∣x2−x3∣+…+∣x1990−x1991∣=1991\left|\mathbf{x}_1 - \mathbf{x}_2\right| + \left|\mathbf{x}_2 - \mathbf{x}_3\right| + \ldots +\left|\mathbf{x}_{1990} - \mathbf{x}_{1991}\right| = 1991 . What is the maximum possible value of ∣s1−s2∣+∣s2−s3∣+…+∣s1990−s1991∣\left|\mathbf{s}_1 - \mathbf{s}_2\right| + \left|\mathbf{s}_2 - \mathbf{s}_3\right| + \ldots +\left|\mathbf{s}_{1990} - \mathbf{s}_{1991}\right| , where sn=(x1+x2+…+xn)/n\mathbf{s}_n = (\mathbf{x}_1 + \mathbf{x}_2 + \ldots +\mathbf{x}_n) / n ?
