Problem 4

An airline company is planning to introduce a network of connections between the ten different airports of Sawubonia. The airports are ranked by priority from first to last (with no ties). We call such a network feasible if it satisfies the following conditions:

  • All connections operate in both directions
  • If there is a direct connection between two airports A and B, and C has higher priority than B, then there must also be a direct connection between A and C.

Some of the airports may not be served, and even the empty network (no connections at all) is allowed. How many feasible networks are there?

Problem 5

Let N0\mathbb{N}_0 denote the set of all nonnegative integers. Determine all functions f:N0→N0f:\mathbb{N}_0\to\mathbb{N}_0 with the following two properties:

  • 0≤f(x)≤x20\le f(x)\le x^2 for all x∈N0x\in\mathbb{N}_0
  • x−yx-y divides f(x)−f(y)f(x)-f(y) for all x,y∈N0x,y\in\mathbb{N}_0 with x>yx>y

Problem 6

In triangle ABCABC , the incircle touches BCBC in DD , CACA in EE and ABAB in FF . The bisector of ∠BAC\angle BAC intersects BCBC in GG . The lines BEBE and CFCF intersect in JJ . The line through JJ perpendicular to EFEF intersects BCBC in KK . Prove that GKDK=AECE+AFBF\frac{GK}{DK}=\frac{AE}{CE}+\frac{AF}{BF}
