1 (a) Assume that d = dm for some index m, and let k and l (k≤ m ≤ l)
be the indeces such that dm= ak− al Then dm = ak− al ≤ (ak −

(b) Let Mi = max{aj : 1 ≤ j ≤ i} and mi = min{aj : i ≤ j ≤ n} Set
2 Placing n = 1 we get f (m + 1) ≥ f(m) + f(f(1)) − 1 ≥ f(m) hencethe function is non-decreasing Let n0 be the smallest integer such that
f (n0) > 1 If f (n) = n + k for some k, n ≥ 1 then placing m = 1 givesthat f (f (n)) = f (n + k)≥ f(k) + f(f(n)) − 1 which implies f(k) = 1
We immediately get k < n0 Choose maximal k0 such that there exists
n ∈ N for which f(n) = n + k0 Then we have 2n + k0 ≥ f(2n) ≥
f (n)+f (f (n))−1 = n+k0+f (n+k0)−1 ≥ n+k0+f (n)−1 = 2n+(2k0−1)hence 2k0−1 ≤ k0, or k0≤ 1 Therefore f(n) ≤ n+1 and f(2007) ≤ 2008.Now we will prove that f (2007) can be any of the numbers 1, 2, , 2008.Define the functions
3 The inequality 1+t1+t24 <1t holds for all t∈ (0, 1) because it is equivalent to
0 < t4− t3− t + 1 = (1 − t)(1 − t3) Applying it to t = xk and summingover k = 1, , n we get Pnk=11+x 2k

x n (x−1) = xn (1−x)yn Writing the same relation for y and multiplying by this one gives thedesired inequality
4 Notice that f (x) > x for all x Indeed, f (x + f (y)) 6= f(x + y) and if
f (y) < y for some y, setting x = y− f(y) yields to a contradiction.Now we will prove that f (x)− x is injective If we assume that f(x) − x =
f (y)− y for some x 6= y we would have x + f(y) = y + f(x) hence
f (x+y)+f (y) = f (x+y)+f (x) implying f (x) = f (y), which is impossible.From the functional equation we conclude that f (f (x) + f (y))− (f(x) +
f (y)) = f (x+y), hence f (x)+f (y) = f (x′)+f (y′) whenever x+y = x′+y′
In particular, we have f (x) + f (y) = 2f (x+y2 )
Now we will prove that f is injective If f (x) = f (x + h) for some h > 0then f (x) + f (x + 2h) = 2f (x + h) = 2f (x) hence f (x) = f (x + 2h), and

by induction f (x + nh) = f (x) Therefore, 0 < f (x + nh)− (x + nh) =
f (x)− x − nh for every n, which is impossible
We now have f (f (x) + f (y)) = f (f (x) + y) + f (y) = 2f (f (x)2 + y) and bysymmetry f (f (x) + f (y)) = 2f (f (y)2 + x) Hence f (x)2 + y = f (y)2 + x, thus
f (x)− 2x = c for some c ∈ R The functional equation forces c = 0 It iseasy to verify that f (x) = 2x satisfies the given relation

BC because W U ≥ NM > MZ) The line MN doesn’t intersect any ofthe interiors of the rectangles Contradiction
If M Z > M N consider the rectangle containing the point N It can’ttouch AD because it can’t share the entire side with AM N P Hence ithas to touch CD and, again, M N would be a line that doesn’t intersectany of the interiors Contradiction
