\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 $a, b \in X$.
|
||||

|
||||
but still approachable with generating functions.)

expressed uniquely in the form $a_i + 2a_j + 4a_k$,

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 $n$.

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

\definition{}
|
||||
The identity bird has sometimes been maligned, owing to
|
||||
the fact that whatever bird x you call to $I$, all $I$ does is to echo
|
||||
$x$ back to you.
|
||||
|
||||
\vspace{2mm}
|
||||
|
||||
Superficially, the bird $I$ appears to have no intelligence or imagination; all it can do is repeat what it hears.
|
||||
For this reason, in the past, thoughtless students of ornithology
|
||||
referred to it as the idiot bird. However, a more profound or-
|
||||
nithologist once studied the situation in great depth and dis-
|
||||
covered that the identity bird is in fact highly intelligent! The
|
||||
real reason for its apparently unimaginative behavior is that it
|
||||
has an unusually large heart and hence is fond of every bird!
|
||||
When you call $x$ to $I$, the reason it responds by calling back $x$
|
||||
is not that it can't think of anything else; it's just that it wants
|
||||
you to know that it is fond of $x$!
|
||||
|
||||
\vspace{2mm}
|
||||
|
||||
Since an identity bird is fond of every bird, then it is also
|
||||
fond of itself, so every identity bird is egocentric. However,
|
||||
its egocentricity doesn't mean that it is any more fond of itself
|
||||
than of any other bird!.

We can easily account for the white knights and the black knight on G8, but who could've captured the knight from B8?

The only white pieces that can move to black squares are pawns, the Bishop (which is trapped on C1), the rook (which is stuck on column A and row 1), or the king (which would need at least 14 moves to do so).

\vspace{2mm}

|

Neither white bishop could've been captured by these pawns,

Therefore, the pawn on B3 made its capture before the queen escaped,

||||
and the black bishop was captured before the white queen.

\vspace{4mm}
|
||||
|

Similarly, the bishop from C8 must have been

captured on B3 after the capture on E6, since it

got on the board through D7.
|

|

|

\vspace{4mm}
|

The capture on E6 was made before the capture on B3 (black bishop),

#problem()
|
||||
There are 36 gangsters in a certain district of Chicago.
|
||||
Some pairs of gangsters have feuds.
|
||||
|
||||
- Each gangster is part of at least one outfit, and no two outfits share the same members.
|
||||
- If two gangsters are both in one outfit, there is no feud between them.
|
||||
- A gangster that is not in a certain outfit must have a feud with at least one if its members.
|
||||
|
||||
What is the maximum number of outfits that can exist in this district?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#solution[
|
||||
*Definition:* Let the _authority_ of a gangster be the number of oufits they are a part of.
|
||||
|
||||
#v(5mm)
|
||||
|
||||
*Lemma:* Say two gangsters have a feud. Label them $x$ and $y$ so that $#text(`authority`) (x) > #text(`authority`) (y)$. \
|
||||
Then, replacing $y$ with a clone of $x$ will strictly increase the number of outfits. \
|
||||
If $#text(`authority`) (x) = #text(`authority`) (y)$, replacing $y$ with $x$ will not change the number of outfits.
|
||||
|
||||
#v(5mm)
|
||||
|
||||
*Proof:*
|
||||
Let $A$ be the set of outfits that $y$ is a part of, and $B$ its complement (that is, all outfits that $a$ is _not_ a part of). If we delete $y$...
|
||||
- all outfits in $B$ remain outfits.
|
||||
- some outfits in $A$ cease to be outfits (as they are no longer maximal)
|
||||
|
||||
Also, no new outfits are formed. If a new outfit $o$ contains any enemies of $y$, it existed previously and is a member of $B$. If $o$ contains no enemies of $y$, it must have contained $y$ prior to deletion, and is thus a member of $A$. Therefore, the number of outfits is reduced by at most `authority(y)` when $y$ is deleted.
|
||||
|
||||
If we add a clone of $x$ after deleting $y$ (this clone has a feud with $x$), All previous outfits remain outfits, and `authority(x)` new outfits are created.
|
||||
Therefore, replacing $y$ with a clone of $x$ strictly increases the number of outfits that exist.
|
||||
We thus conclude that in the maximal case, all pairs of feuding gangsters have equal authority.
|
||||
|
||||
#v(5mm)
|
||||
|
||||
*Solution:* Consider an arbitrary gangster $g$. By the previous lemma, we can replace all gangsters $g$ has a feud with clones of itself. Repeat this for all gangsters, and we are left with groups of feuding gangsters who are friends with everyone outside their group. The total number of outfits is the product of the sizes of these groups.
|
||||
|
||||
#v(5mm)
|
||||
|
||||
This problem is now equivalent to the "Partition Products" warm-up. We want the list of numbers whose sum is 36 and whose product is maximal. The solution is to form 12 groups of three gangsters for a total of $3^12$ outfits.
