USAJMO 2010 Problem 2

  • Day 1

Let n>1n > 1 be an integer. Find, with proof, all sequences x1,x2,…,xn−1x_1 , x_2 , \ldots , x_{n-1} of positive integers with the following three properties: (a). x1<x2<⋯<xn−1x_1 < x_2 < \cdots < x_{n-1} ; (b). xi+xn−i=2nx_i + x_{n-i} = 2n for all i=1,2,…,n−1i = 1, 2, \ldots , n - 1 ; (c). given any two indices ii and jj (not necessarily distinct) for which xi+xj<2nx_i + x_j < 2n , there is an index kk such that xi+xj=xkx_i + x_j = x_k .
