USAMO 2005 Problem 6

  • Day 2

For mm a positive integer, let s(m)s(m) be the sum of the digits of mm . For n≥2n\ge 2 , let f(n)f(n) be the minimal kk for which there exists a set SS of nn positive integers such that s(∑x∈Xx)=ks\left(\sum_{x\in X} x\right)=k for any nonempty subset X⊂SX\subset S . Prove that there are constants 0<C1<C20<C_1<C_2 with C1log⁡10n≤f(n)≤C2log⁡10n.C_1 \log_{10} n \le f(n) \le C_2 \log_{10} n.
