We know that + + = ⇔ + = −

⇔ | + | = | − | ⇔ | + | = (1)

= + | + | =( )

⇔ + ∑ ≥ ⇔ ∑ ≥ ⇔ ∑ ≥ (2)

: ( , ), ( ) = it’s a concave function

If , , ∈ ℂ∗, | | = | | = | | = , ( + )( + )( + ) ≠ ,

Proposed by Marian Ursarescu-Romania

Solution by Chris Kyriazis-Athens-Greece

It’s easy to see that: ( )( )

= −( )( )

. So,

∑( )( )

= ⇔ −( + ) + ⋅ ( )( )( )( )

= (1)

But + + = + + =

So, (1) ⇒ + + = and (equivalent); + + =

We have ( + ) + = ⇔ − + = ⇒ = ⇔

− = − ⇒ ( − )( + ) = ( − ) ⇒ |− | =

⇒ | − | ⋅ + = | | ⋅ | − | ⇒ | | =

| − | = | − | ⇔ ( ) = ( ). Working just the same

= ⇔ − = − ⇔ ( − )( + ) = ( − ) ⇒ |− | =

| − | ⋅ + = | | ⋅ | − | ⇒ | | =

| − | = | − | ⇔ ( ) = ( ). So, ( ) = ( ) = ( )

( ) = ⇒ = > 1, ( ) = ⇒ = > 1

(∵ > 0)

Now, < , < and ∵ , > 1,∴ 0 < , < ⇒ < 2 , <

we can take ( ) = ( ) + ; ( ) = + > 0

and →∓ ( ) = ∓∞, decreasing so, ( ) = ⇔ = unique

Given equation can be written as √ + √ + √ = ⋅ √ ⋅ √ ⋅ √

www.ssmrmh.ro

which is of the form + + = ⇒ either = = or + + =

( ) = , ( ) = , ( ) = ( ) − ( ), ∈ ℕ, ≥

Find the reminder of , ≥ at − − +

Proposed by Marian Ursarescu-Romania

Solution by Ravi Prakash-New Delhi-India

Let ( ) = − − +

Suppose ( ) be the quotient and ( ) be the reminder when ( ) is divided by ( ), i.e., ( ) = ( ) ( ) + ( ). We assert

( ) = ( − ) + when = = ( − )( − ) +

when = − . For = , = ( ) − ,

( ) = ( ) = = ( )( − )( − ) +

( ) = ( ) = − = ( − ) + = ( − ) +

Thus, the result holds for all ∈ ℕ, ≤ , ≥ .

We prove the result for + . If + is odd, let + = + , where ≥ and

= , − = − . Now, as the result holds for , −

( ) = ( ) = ( )− ( ) =

= [ ( ) ( ) + ( )]− [ ( ) ( ) + ( )] =

= [ ( )− ( )] ( ) + ( )− ( )

But ( )− ( ) = [ ( − ) + ] − [ ( − )( − ) + ]

= ( − ) + − ( − )( − )

www.ssmrmh.ro

= [ ( ) + − ] + − ( − )( − ) −

= ( ) + ( − + )( − ) +

Thus, ( ) = ( ) = ( + )( − ) +

Next, when + is even, we let + = , − , − < , where ≥ .

Now, ( ) = ( ) = ( )− ( ) =

= [ ( ) ( ) + ( )]− [ ( ) ( ) + ( )]

= [ ( )− ( )] ( ) + ( )− ( )

But ( ) − ( )

= [ ( − ) ( − ) + ]− [ ( − ) ( − ) + ]

= ( − )( − ) + − ( − ) ( − )−

= ( − )[ ( ) + − ] + ( − ) − ( − ) ( − ) +

= ( − ) ( ) + [ ( )( − ) + − ( − ) ]( − ) +

∴ ( ) = [ − + − ( − + )]( − ) +

= ( − ) + = ( − ) + = ( + ) ( − ) +

Thus, the result holds in this case also. By the principle of mathematical induction

result is true for all ∈ ℕ.

Solution by Khanh Hung Vu-Vietnam

If : [ ; +∞) → ℝ, ( ) + = (1) ∀ ≥ then ∀ , , ≥ :

( ) + + ( ) + + ( ) + ≥ ⋅ ( − )( − )( − )

Substitute to , we have (1) ⇒ + = (2)

Substitute to , we have (1) ⇒ + ( ) = (3)

(2)+(3) ⇒ + + + ( ) = + ⇒

⇒ + = + ⇒ =( )

(4)

Substitute to , we have (4) ⇒ ( ) =( )

⇒ ( ) + = ∀ ≥

We have ( ) + + ( ) + + ( ) + = + +

By AM-GM inequality, we have + + ≥( )( )( )

So, ( ) + + ( ) + + ( ) + ≥( )( )( )

(QED)

The equality occurs when = = .

220. Find all functions :ℝ → ℝ such that:

Proposed by Marian Ursarescu-Romania

Solution by Chris Kyriazis-Greece

www.ssmrmh.ro

Let’s set ( ) = ( ),∀ ∈ ℝ. Then the given inequality

+ ≤ ( ) + ( ) ≤ ( + ). For = = we have that:

≤ ( ) ≤ ( ) ⇒ ( ) = . For = − , we have that:

≤ ( ) + (− ) ≤ ( ) ⇒ ≤ ( ) + (− ) ≤ ( ),∀ ∈ ℝ ⇒

(− ) = − ( ),∀ ∈ ℝ (1)

For = : ≤ ( ) ≤ ( ),∀ ∈ ℝ (2)

We set → − and ...− ≤ (− ) ⇒( )− ≤ − ( ) ⇒ ≥ ( ),∀ ∈ ℝ (3)

So, (by (2)+(3)) ( ) = ,∀ ∈ ℝ. Then ( ) = ,∀ ∈ ℝ

which is acceptable because it verifies the given conditions.

Solution 2 by Bedri Hajrizi-Mitrovica-Kosovo

For = , we get = ( ) ⇒ ( ) =

For = : ( ) = ( )

( ) − ( ) = ⇒ ( ) = ,∀ ∨ ( ) =

For = : − ( ) = − (− )

Find :ℝ → ℝ such that: ( − ) [ ( )− ( )] = ( + ) ( − ) (1)

Suppose that ∃ , ≠ such that ( ) = and ( ) =

→ , → : (1) ⇒ ( − ) − = ( + ) ( − ) (2)

www.ssmrmh.ro

Case 1: ( − ) = : (2) ⇒ ( − ) = ⇒ = ⇒ = (Absurd)

Case 2: ( − ) = − : (2) ⇒ ( − ) − = ( + )( − ) ⇒

− = − ⇒ = (Absurd). So, (*) ⇒ ( ) = ∀ ≠ or ( ) = ∀ ≠

On the other hand, we have ( ) = . Then ( ) = ∀ ∈ ℝ or ( ) = ∀ ∈ ℝ

Solution 2 by Chris Kyriazis-Greece

If ≤ ≤ ⇒ √ ≤ ⇒ − √ ≥ So, − ≥ , − √ ≥ , − √ ≥

We have that: − √ − ≥ ⇒ + ≥ √ + (1)

And − √ − √ ≥ ⇒ + √ ≥ √ + √ (2)

So, by (1) + (2) : √ + √ + √ ≤ + √ + √ (3)

So, it suffices to prove that

+ + √ ≤ + or + + √ + ≤ + or

+ ≥ + √ . But this one holds because:

≤ ⇒ − ≥√ ≤ ⇒ −√ ≥

⇒ − −√ ≥ ⇒ + ≥ + √

So, √ + √ + √ ≤ + ⇔ √ √ √ ≤

Integrating this one we have what we want!
