Let $L$ be a positive constant. For a point $P(t,\ 0)$ on the positive part of the $x$ axis on the coordinate plane, denote $Q(u(t),\ v(t))$ the point at which the point reach starting from $P$ proceeds by distance $L$ in counter-clockwise on the perimeter of a circle passing the point $P$ with center $O$. (1) Find $u(t),\ v(t)$. (2) For real number $a$ with $0<a<1$, find $f(a)=\int_a^1 \sqrt{\{u'(t)\}^2+\{v'(t)\}^2}\ dt$. (3) Find $\lim_{a\rightarrow +0} \frac{f(a)}{\ln a}$.

Original in Hungarian; translated with Google translate; polished by myself. Let $f: [0, \infty) \to [0, \infty)$ be a function that is linear between adjacent integers, and for $n = 0, 1, \dots$ satisfies $$f(n) = \begin{cases} 0, & \textrm{if }2\mid n,\\4^l + 1, & \textrm{if }2 \nmid n, 4^{l - 1} \leq n < 4^l(l = 1, 2, \dots).\end{cases}$$ Let $f^1(x) = f(x)$, and $f^k(x) = f(f^{k - 1}(x))$ for all integers $k \geq 2$. Determine the values of $\liminf\nolimits_{k\to\infty}f^k(x)$ and $\limsup\nolimits_{k\to\infty}f^k(x)$ for almost all $x \in [0, \infty)$ under Lebesgue measure. (Not sure whether the last sentence translates correctly; the original: Határozzuk meg Lebesgue majdnem minden $x\in [0, \infty)$-re a $\liminf\nolimits_{k\to\infty}f^k(x)$ és $\limsup\nolimits_{k\to\infty}f^k(x)$ értékét.)

For $a>2$, let $f(t)=\frac{\sin ^ 2 at+t^2}{at\sin at},\ g(t)=\frac{\sin ^ 2 at-t^2}{at\sin at}\ \left(0<|t|<\frac{\pi}{2a}\right)$ and let $C: x^2-y^2=\frac{4}{a^2}\ \left(x\geq \frac{2}{a}\right).$ Answer the questions as follows.

Express $V(a)$ in terms of $a$, then find $\lim_{a\to\infty} V(a)$.

The world-renowned Marxist theorist [i]Joric[/i] is obsessed with both mathematics and social egalitarianism. Therefore, for any decimal representation of a positive integer $n$, he tries to partition its digits into two groups, such that the difference between the sums of the digits in each group be as small as possible. Joric calls this difference the [i]defect[/i] of the number $n$. Determine the average value of the defect (over all positive integers), that is, if we denote by $\delta(n)$ the defect of $n$, compute \[\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\frac{\sum_{k = 1}^{n}\delta(k)}{n}.\] [i]Iurie Boreico[/i]
