\problem{USAMO 1996 Problem 6}
|
||||
Determine (with proof) whether there is a subset $X$ of
|
||||
the nonnegative integers with the following property: for any nonnegative integer $n$ there is exactly
|
||||
one solution of $a + 2b = n$ with $a, b \in X$.
|
||||
(The original USAMO question asked about all integers, not just nonnegative - this is harder,
|
||||
but still approachable with generating functions.)

\problem{IMO Shortlist 1998}
|
||||
Let $a_0, a_1, ...$ be an increasing sequence of nonnegative integers
|
||||
such that every nonnegative integer can be
|
||||
expressed uniquely in the form $a_i + 2a_j + 4a_k$,
|
||||
where $i, j, k$ are not necessarily distinct.
|
||||
|
||||
Determine $a_1998$.

\problem{USAMO 1986 Problem 5}
|
||||
By a partition $\pi$ of an integer $n \geq 1$, we mean here a
|
||||
representation of $n$ as a sum of one or more positive integers where the summands must be put in
|
||||
nondecreasing order. (e.g., if $n = 4$, then the partitions $\pi$ are
|
||||
$1 + 1 + 1 + 1$, $1 + 1 + 2$, $1 + 3, 2 + 2$, and $4$).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
For any partition $\pi$, define $A(\pi)$ to be the number of ones which appear in $\pi$, and define $B(\pi)$
|
||||
to be the number of distinct integers which appear in $\pi$ (e.g, if $n = 13$ and $\pi$ is the partition
|
||||
$1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 5$, then $A(\pi) = 2$ and $B(\pi) = 3$).
|
||||
|
||||
Show that for any fixed $n$, the sum of $A(\pi)$ over all partitions of $\pi$ of $n$ is equal to the sum of
|
||||
$B(\pi)$ over all partitions of $\pi$ of $n$.

\problem{USAMO 2017 Problem 2}
|
||||
Let $m_1, m_2, ..., m_n$ be a collection of $n$ distinct positive
|
||||
integers. For any sequence of integers $A = (a_1, ..., a_n)$ and any permutation $w = w_1, ..., w_n$ of
|
||||
$m_1, ..., m_n$, define an $A$-inversion of $w$ to be a pair of entries $w_i, w_j$ with $i < j$ for which one of the
|
||||
following conditions holds:
|
||||
\begin{itemize}
|
||||
\item $ai \geq wi > wj$
|
||||
\item $wj > ai \geq wi$
|
||||
\item $wi > wj > ai$
|
||||
\end{itemize}
|
||||
|
||||
Show that for any two sequences of integers $A = (a_1, ..., a_n)$ and $B = (b_1, ..., b_n)$ and for any
|
||||
positive integer $k$, the number of permutations of $m_1, ..., m_n$ having exactly $k$ $A$-inversions is equal
|
||||
to the number of permutations of $m_1, ..., m_n$ having exactly $k$ $B$-inversions.
|
||||
(The original USAMO problem allowed the numbers $m_1, ..., m_n$ to not necessarily be distinct.)
