$S,T$ are two trees without vertices of degree 2. To each edge is associated a positive number which is called length of this edge. Distance between two arbitrary vertices $v,w$ in this graph is defined by sum of length of all edges in the path between $v$ and $w$. Let $f$ be a bijective function from leaves of $S$ to leaves of $T$, such that for each two leaves $u,v$ of $S$, distance of $u,v$ in $S$ is equal to distance of $f(u), f(v)$ in $T$. Prove that there is a bijective function $g$ from vertices of $S$ to vertices of $T$ such that for each two vertices $u,v$ of $S$, distance of $u,v$ in $S$ is equal to distance of $g(u)$ and $g(v)$ in $T$.

Welcome to the [b]USAYNO[/b], where each question has a yes/no answer. Choose any subset of the following six problems to answer. If you answer $n$ problems and get them [b]all[/b] correct, you will receive $\max(0, (n-1)(n-2))$ points. If any of them are wrong (or you leave them all blank), you will receive $0$ points. Your answer should be a six-character string containing 'Y' (for yes), 'N' (for no), or 'B' (for blank). For instance if you think 1, 2, and 6 are 'yes' and 3 and 4 are 'no', you should answer YYNNBY (and receive $12$ points if all five answers are correct, 0 points if any are wrong). (a) $a,b,c,d,A,B,C,$ and $D$ are positive real numbers such that $\frac{a}{b} > \frac{A}{B}$ and $\frac{c}{d} > \frac{C}{D}$. Is it necessarily true that $\frac{a+c}{b+d} > \frac{A+C}{B+D}$? (b) Do there exist irrational numbers $\alpha$ and $\beta$ such that the sequence $\lfloor\alpha\rfloor+\lfloor\beta\rfloor, \lfloor2\alpha\rfloor+\lfloor2\beta\rfloor, \lfloor3\alpha\rfloor+\lfloor3\beta\rfloor, \dots$ is arithmetic? (c) For any set of primes $\mathbb{P}$, let $S_\mathbb{P}$ denote the set of integers whose prime divisors all lie in $\mathbb{P}$. For instance $S_{\{2,3\}}=\{2^a3^b \; | \; a,b\ge 0\}=\{1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,\dots\}$. Does there exist a finite set of primes $\mathbb{P}$ and integer polynomials $P$ and $Q$ such that $\gcd(P(x), Q(y))\in S_\mathbb{P}$ for all $x,y$? (d) A function $f$ is called [b]P-recursive[/b] if there exists a positive integer $m$ and real polynomials $p_0(n), p_1(n), \dots, p_m(n)$[color = red], not all zero,[/color] satisfying \[p_m(n)f(n+m)=p_{m-1}(n)f(n+m-1)+\dots+p_0(n)f(n)\] for all $n$. Does there exist a P-recursive function $f$ satisfying $\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{f(n)}{n^{\sqrt{2}}}=1$? (e) Does there exist a [b]nonpolynomial[/b] function $f: \mathbb{Z}\to\mathbb{Z}$ such that $a-b$ divides $f(a)-f(b)$ for all integers $a\neq b$? (f) Do there exist periodic functions $f, g:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ such that $f(x)+g(x)=x$ for all $x$? [color = red]A clarification was issued for problem 33(d) during the test. I have included it above.[/color]

2025 239 Open Mathematical Olympiad, 4

The numbers from $1$ to $2025$ are arranged in some order in the cells of the $1 \times 2025$ strip. Let's call a [i]flip[/i] an operation that takes two arbitrary cells of a strip and swaps the numbers written in them, but only if the larger of these numbers is located to the left of the smaller one. A [i]flop[/i] is a set of several flips that do not contain common cells that are executed simultaneously. (For example, a simultaneous flip between the 2nd and 8th cells and a flip between the 5th and 101st cells.) Prove that there exists a sequence of $66$ flops such that for any initial arrangement, applying this sequence of flops to it will result in the numbers being ordered from left to right in ascending order.
