We call a subset $B$ of natural numbers [i]loyal[/i] if there exists natural numbers $i\le j$ such that $B=\{i,i+1,\ldots,j\}$. Let $Q$ be the set of all [i]loyal[/i] sets. For every subset $A=\{a_1<a_2<\ldots<a_k\}$ of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ we set \[f(A)=\max_{1\le i \le k-1}{a_{i+1}-a_i}\qquad\text{and}\qquad g(A)=\max_{B\subseteq A, B\in Q} |B|.\] Furthermore, we define \[F(n)=\sum_{A\subseteq \{1,2,\ldots,n\}} f(A)\qquad\text{and}\qquad G(n)=\sum_{A\subseteq \{1,2,\ldots,n\}} g(A).\] Prove that there exists $m\in \mathbb N$ such that for each natural number $n>m$ we have $F(n)>G(n)$. (By $|A|$ we mean the number of elements of $A$, and if $|A|\le 1$, we define $f(A)$ to be zero). [i]Proposed by Javad Abedi[/i]

A continuous function $f : [a,b] \to [a,b]$ is called piecewise monotone if $[a, b]$ can be subdivided into finitely many subintervals $$I_1 = [c_0,c_1], I_2 = [c_1,c_2], \dots , I_\ell = [ c_{\ell - 1},c_\ell ]$$ such that $f$ restricted to each interval $I_j$ is strictly monotone, either increasing or decreasing. Here we are assuming that $a = c_0 < c_1 < \cdots < c_{\ell - 1} < c_\ell = b$. We are also assuming that each $I_j$ is a maximal interval on which $f$ is strictly monotone. Such a maximal interval is called a lap of the function $f$, and the number $\ell = \ell (f)$ of distinct laps is called the lap number of $f$. If $f : [a,b] \to [a,b]$ is a continuous piecewise-monotone function, show that the sequence $( \sqrt[n]{\ell (f^n )})$ converges; here $f^n$ means $f$ composed with itself $n$-times, so $f^2 (x) = f(f(x))$ etc.
