Let \( a_n \) be a sequence of positive real numbers such that for every \( n > 2025 \), we have:
\[
a_n = \max_{1 \leq i \leq 2025} a_{n-i} - \min_{1 \leq i \leq 2025} a_{n-i}
\]Prove that there exists a natural number \( M \) such that for all \( n > M \), the following holds:
\[
a_n < \frac{1}{1404}

Determine the minimum value of $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}$, such that for any positive integer $n$ and non-negative reals $x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_n$, the following inequality always holds:
$$\sum_{i=1}^n(m_i-a_i)^2\leqslant \lambda\cdot\sum_{i=1}^nx_i^2,$$Here $m_i$ and $a_i$ denote the median and arithmetic mean of $x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_i$, respectively.

Hi AoPS!

Let $ABC$ be an isosceles triangle with $AB=AC$, and $M$ an arbitrary point on side $BC$. The internal angle bisector of $\angle MAB$ meets the circumcircle of $\triangle ABC$ again at $P \neq A$, and the internal angle bisector of $\angle CAM$ meets it again at $Q \neq A$. Show that lines $AM$, $BQ$ and $CP$ are concurrent.

Triangle $ABC$ has circumcircle $\Omega$ and circumcenter $O$. A circle $\Gamma$ with center $A$ intersects the segment $BC$ at points $D$ and $E$, such that $B$, $D$, $E$, and $C$ are all different and lie on line $BC$ in this order. Let $F$ and $G$ be the points of intersection of $\Gamma$ and $\Omega$, such that $A$, $F$, $B$, $C$, and $G$ lie on $\Omega$ in this order. Let $K$ be the second point of intersection of the circumcircle of triangle $BDF$ and the segment $AB$. Let $L$ be the second point of intersection of the circumcircle of triangle $CGE$ and the segment $CA$.

Suppose that the lines $FK$ and $GL$ are different and intersect at the point $X$. Prove that $X$ lies on the line $AO$.

Did you mean "$T$ is the intersection of the tangents of circle $(AP)$ at $E, F$"?

not only for $P$ in $BC$ but for any point in the plane it ' s easy to prove that $T$ is on the $A$-bisector

Assume that he means \(T\) is the intersection of the tangents from \((AP)\) at \(E\) and \(F\). Let \(D\) be the foot of the perpendicular from \(A\) to \(BC\). Notice that \((AP) = (APD)\). Notice that \(D\) is the center of the spiral similarity of all possible line segments \(EF\). Also, let \(O\) be the center of \((APD)\). Notice that \(\angle EOF = 2\angle EAF = 2\angle BAC\), which implies \(\angle EOF\) is constant, implying that \(D\) is also the center of the spiral similarity of all possible triangles \(EOF\). But since \((E,O,F)\) uniquely determine \(T\), it follows that \(D\) is the center of the spiral similarity of all possible quadrilaterals \(EOFT\), implying that \(T\) varies on a line (as spiral similarities map points along lines).
