Let $f,g:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be two nondecreasing functions. [list=a] [*]Show that for any $a\in\mathbb{R},$ $b\in[f(a-0),f(a+0)]$ and $x\in\mathbb{R},$ the following inequality holds \[\int_a^xf(t) \ dt\geq b(x-a).\] [*]Given that $[f(a-0),f(a+0)]\cap[g(a-0),g(a+0)]\neq\emptyset$ for any $a\in\mathbb{R},$ prove that for any real numbers $a<b$\[\int_a^b f(t) \ dt=\int_a^b g(t) \ dt.\] [/list] [i]Note: $h(a-0)$ and $h(a+0)$ denote the limits to the left and to the right respectively of a function $h$ at point $a\in\mathbb{R}.$[/i]

Let $u$ be a positive rational number and $m$ be a positive integer. Define a sequence $q_1,q_2,q_3,\dotsc$ such that $q_1=u$ and for $n\geqslant 2$: $$\text{if }q_{n-1}=\frac{a}{b}\text{ for some relatively prime positive integers }a\text{ and }b, \text{ then }q_n=\frac{a+mb}{b+1}.$$ Determine all positive integers $m$ such that the sequence $q_1,q_2,q_3,\dotsc$ is eventually periodic for any positive rational number $u$. [i]Remark:[/i] A sequence $x_1,x_2,x_3,\dotsc $ is [i]eventually periodic[/i] if there are positive integers $c$ and $t$ such that $x_n=x_{n+t}$ for all $n\geqslant c$.

2016 Croatia Team Selection Test, Problem 2

Let $N$ be a positive integer. Consider a $N \times N$ array of square unit cells. Two corner cells that lie on the same longest diagonal are colored black, and the rest of the array is white. A [i]move[/i] consists of choosing a row or a column and changing the color of every cell in the chosen row or column. What is the minimal number of additional cells that one has to color black such that, after a finite number of moves, a completely black board can be reached?

For a given natural number $n$, two players randomly (uniformly distributed) select a common number $0 \le j \le n$, and then each of them independently randomly selects a subset of $\{1,2, \cdots, n \}$ with $j$ elements. Let $p_n$ be the probability that the same set was chosen. Prove that \[ \sum_{k=1}^{n} p_k = 2 \log{n} + 2 \gamma - 1 + o(1), \quad (n \to \infty),\] where $\gamma$ is the Euler constant.
