Problem \# 1

\hsize = 6.5 in

Consider p a positive integer and a square
n x n matrix $ A = (a_{ij}) $ with positive entries. Prove that for
any permutation $\phi$ of \{1, 2, ... n\} there exists a function f: \{1, 2, ...
n\} $\longrightarrow$ \{0,1\} such that the matrix $B = (b_{ij})$ has the
determinant not divisible by p where B is obtained by replacing the
elements $a_{i\phi(i)}$ in the matrix A with $a_{i\phi(i)} + f(i)$.

Take F the set of differentiable real functions
f such that f(x) $\geq$ f(x + sin x) for all real numbers x. Prove that
F contains non-constant functions and if f is in F then f' is zero on an
infinite subset of R.

If f and g are two continuous bijective
real functions such that f(g$^{-1}$(x)) + g(f$^{-1}$(x))
= 2x for all real numbers x and there is a real number a such that f(a)
= g(a) then f = g.

Take a complex non-rational number a such
that the set $A$ = \{m + na $\mid m$ and $n$ are integers\} is a ring with
unity
having exactly four invertible elements. Prove that $A$ is isomorphic with
$Z[i]$.

If f: [-1 , 1] $\longrightarrow R$ is a continous 
real function prove that
$2\cdot(\int_{-1}^1{f^2(x)}\,dx)\geq(\int_{-1}^1{f(x)}\,dx)^2
+ 3(\int_{-1}^1{xf(x)}\,dx)^2$. When does the equality occur?

If $K$ is a finite field and $f$ is an irreducible
polynomial in $K[X]$ of degree n then the polynomial $g - 1$ is divisible
by $f$ where $g$ is the product of all non-constant polynomials in $K[X]$
of degree at most n-1.

Consider $f_n$ a sequence of non-negative
functions defined on the closed interval [0, 1] such that $f_0$
is continuous and $f_{n+1}(x) = \int_0^x { 1 \over {1+f_n(t) } }\,dt$.
Prove that the sequence $f_n$ converges
pointwisely to a function $f$ and find that function.

Let ABC be a triangle inscribed in the
circle O and D an arbitrary point on the side
BC of ABC. Consider the circles K and L
tangent to O and to (AD), K also being tangent
to the segment (BD) and L to the segment (DC).
Prove that K and L
are tangent iff AD bisects the angle BAC.
