Let $ a,b\geq 0 $ and $ a+b=2. $ Prove that
$$a^3b^2( \frac 32a+ b ) \leq 80\sqrt{5}-176$$$$a^3b^2( \frac 38a+ b ) \leq \frac{64}{125}(5- \sqrt{5})$$$$a^3b^2( \frac 34a+ b ) \leq 1088-768\sqrt{2}$$

On a conditon for Hamilton Graphs

by flower417477, Apr 27, 2025, 1:55 AM

Prove that: for a graph $G$,if for any vertex $u,v,w$ for which $dist(u,v)=2$ and $uw,vw\in E(G)$ there's $d(u)+d(v)\geq|N(u)\cup N(v)\cup N(w)|$,then $G$ is a Hamiltonian graph

Weird ninja points collinearity

by americancheeseburger4281, Apr 26, 2025, 10:12 PM

For some triangle, define its Ninja Point as the point on its circumcircle such that its Steiner line coincides with the Euler line of the triangle. For an triangle $ABC$, define:
  • $O$ as its circumcentre, $H$ as its orthocentre and $N_9$ as its nine-point centre.
  • $M_a$, $M_b$ and $M_c$ to be the midpoint of the smaller arcs.
  • $G$ as the isogonal conjugate of the Nagel point (i.e. the exsimillicenter of the incircle and circumcircle)
  • $S$ as the ninja point of $\Delta M_aM_bM_c$
  • $K$ as the ninja point of the contact triangle
Prove that:
$(a)$ Points $K$, $N_9$ and $I$ are collinear, that is $K$ is the Feuerbach point.
$(b)$ Points $H$, $G$ and $S$ are collinear

easy functional

by B1t, Apr 26, 2025, 6:45 AM

Denote the set of real numbers by $\mathbb{R}$. Find all functions $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ such that for all $x, y, z \in \mathbb{R}$,
\[
f(xf(x+y)+z) = f(z) + f(x)y + f(xf(x)).
\]

Let $\omega$ and $\Omega$ be the incircle and circumcircle of the acute triangle $ABC$, respectively. Draw a square $WXYZ$ so that all of its sides are tangent to $\omega$, and $X$, $Y$ are both on $BC$. Extend $AW$ and $AZ$, intersecting $\Omega$ at $P$ and $Q$, respectively. Prove that $PX$ and $QY$ intersects on $\Omega$.

Inequalities

by Scientist10, Apr 23, 2025, 6:36 PM

If $x, y, z \in \mathbb{R}$, then prove that the following inequality holds:
\[
\sum_{\text{cyc}} \sqrt{1 + \left(x\sqrt{1 + y^2} + y\sqrt{1 + x^2}\right)^2} \geq \sum_{\text{cyc}} xy + 2\sum_{\text{cyc}} x
\]

It is known that from segments of lengths $a$, $b$ and $c$, a triangle can be formed. Could it happen that from segments of lengths $$\sqrt{a^2 + \frac{2}{3} bc},\quad \sqrt{b^2 + \frac{2}{3} ca}\quad \text{and} \quad \sqrt{c^2 + \frac{2}{3} ab},$$a right-angled triangle can be formed?

To Mixtilinear or not to mixtilinear

by ihategeo_1969, Jan 8, 2025, 3:21 AM

Let $ABC$ be a triangle and let $T$ be the contact point of the $A$-mixtilinear incircle with the circumcircle, and let $T'$ be the reflection of $T$ over $BC$. Prove that the nine-point circle of $T'BC$ is tangent to the incircle.

Continued fraction

by tapir1729, Jun 24, 2024, 6:36 PM

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. Suppose $P$ and $Q$ are polynomials with integer coefficients such that $P(0)=Q(0)=1$, there is no nonconstant polynomial dividing both $P$ and $Q$, and
\[
  1 + \cfrac{x}{1 + \cfrac{2x}{1 + \cfrac{\ddots}{1 +
  (p-1)x}}}=\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)}.
\]Show that all coefficients of $P$ except for the constant coefficient are divisible by $p$, and all coefficients of $Q$ are not divisible by $p$.

  • It would be rude to call this AI-generated if it was not. But I find the title (in blog post), organization, and general word choices very suspicious

  • WOAH I JUST CAME HERE, CSS IS CRAZY

    by HacheB2031, Apr 8, 2025, 5:05 AM

  • Thanks! I'm happy to hear that! How is the new CSS? If you don't like it, I can go back.

    by aoum, Apr 8, 2025, 12:42 AM

  • This is such a cool blog! Just a suggestion, but I feel like it would look a bit better if the entries were wider. They're really skinny right now, which makes the posts seem a lot longer.

  • The first few posts for April are out!

    by aoum, Apr 1, 2025, 11:51 PM

  • Sure! I understand that it would be quite a bit to take in.

    by aoum, Apr 1, 2025, 11:08 PM

  • No, but it is a lot to take in. Also, could you do the Gamma Function next?
