Let \(\mathbb{R}^2\) denote the set of points in the Euclidean plane. For points \(A,P\in\mathbb{R}^2\) and a real number \(k\), define the [i]dilation[/i] of \(A\) about \(P\) by a factor of \(k\) as the point \(P+k(A-P)\). Call a sequence of point \(A_0, A_1, A_2,\ldots\in\mathbb{R}^2\) [i]unbounded[/i] if the sequence of lengths \(\left|A_0-A_0\right|,\left|A_1-A_0\right|,\left|A_2-A_0\right|,\ldots\) has no upper bound. Now consider \(n\) distinct points \(P_0,P_1,\ldots,P_{n-1}\in\mathbb{R}^2\), and fix a real number \(r\). Given a starting point \(A_0\in\mathbb{R}^2\), iteratively define \(A_{i+1}\) by dilating \(A_i\) about \(P_j\) by a factor of \(r\), where \(j\) is the remainder of \(i\) when divided by \(n\). Prove that if \(\left|r\right|\geq 1\), then for any starting point \(A_0\in\mathbb{R}^2\), the sequence \(A_0,A_1,A_2,\ldots\) is either periodic or unbounded.

Let $ f(m,n) \equal{} | S_1 \minus{} S_2 |$. a) Calculate $ f(m,n)$ for all positive integers $ m$ and $ n$ which are either both even or both odd. b) Prove that $ f(m,n) \leq \frac 12 \max \{m,n \}$ for all $ m$ and $ n$. c) Show that there is no constant $ C\in\mathbb{R}$ such that $ f(m,n) < C$ for all $ m$ and $ n$.
