Denote by $\mathbb{S}$ the set of all proper subsets of $\mathbb{Z}_{>0}$. Find all functions $f : \mathbb{S} \mapsto \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$ that satisfy the following:\\ [color=#FFFFFF]___[/color]1. For all sets $A, B \in \mathbb{S}$ we have \[f(A \cap B) = \text{min}(f(A), f(B)).\] [color=#FFFFFF]___[/color]2. For all positive integers $n$ we have \[\sum \limits_{X \subseteq [1, n]} f(X) = 2^{n+1}-1.\] (Here, by a proper subset $X$ of $\mathbb{Z}_{>0}$ we mean $X \subset \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$ with $X \ne \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$. It is allowed for $X$ to have infinite size.) \\ [i]Proposed by MV Adhitya, Kanav Talwar, Siddharth Choppara, Archit Manas[/i]
