659. If 𝑨 ∈ 𝑴𝒏 (ℂ), 𝒏 ∈ ℕ, 𝒏 ≥ 𝟐 then:
𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨𝟓 ) + 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨) ≥ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨𝟒 ) + 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨𝟐 )
Proposed by Daniel Sitaru – Romania
If 𝑨 ∈ 𝑴𝒏 (ℂ) → 𝒏 ∈ ℕ → 𝒏 ≥ 𝟐
Then 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨𝟓 ) + 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨) ≥ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨𝟒 ) + 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨𝟐 )
Note: 𝑹(𝑨) → range / column space of 𝑨 and 𝑵(𝑨) → null spacd / kernel of 𝑨
𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝑷𝑸} = 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑸) − 𝐝𝐢𝐦{𝑹(𝑸) ∩ 𝑵(𝑷)}
Then: 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝑿𝒀𝒁} = 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝒀𝒁} − 𝐝𝐢𝐦{𝑹(𝒀𝒁) ∩ 𝑵(𝒙)} (1)
Also: 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝑿𝒀} = 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝒀} − 𝐝𝐢𝐦{𝑹(𝒀) ∩ 𝑵(𝑿)} (2)
If vector 𝜶 ∈ 𝑹(𝒀𝒁) there exists vector 𝜷 such that 𝒀𝒁𝜷 = 𝜶
⇒ 𝒀(𝒁𝜷) = 𝜶 ⇒ 𝜶 ∈ 𝑹(𝒀) ⇒ 𝑹(𝒀𝒁) ⊆ 𝑹(𝒀) ⇒ 𝑹(𝒀𝒁) ∩ 𝑵(𝑿) ⊆ 𝑹(𝒀) ∩ 𝑵(𝑿)
𝐝𝐢𝐦{𝑹(𝒀𝒁) ∩ 𝑵(𝑿)} ≤ 𝐝𝐢𝐦{𝑹(𝒀) ∩ 𝑵(𝑿)} − 𝐝𝐢𝐦{𝑹(𝒀𝒁) ∩ 𝑵(𝑿)} ≥ − 𝐝𝐢𝐦{𝑹(𝒀) ∩ 𝑵(𝑿)} (3)
From (1) and (3) → 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝒀𝑿𝒁} ≥ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝒀𝒁} − 𝐝𝐢𝐦{𝑹(𝒀) ∩ 𝑵(𝑿)}
(2) → 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝑿𝒀} = −𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝒀) + 𝐝𝐢𝐦{𝑹(𝒀) ∩ 𝑵(𝑿)}
Adding: 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝑿𝒀𝒁} − 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝑿𝒀} ≥ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝒀𝒁} − 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝒀}
⇒ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝑿𝒀𝒁} ≥ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝒀𝒁} + 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝑿𝒀} − 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝒀}
Let → 𝒁 = 𝑨𝟑 , 𝒀 = 𝑨 and 𝒁 = 𝑨
Then → 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌{𝑨𝟓 } ≥ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝑨𝟒 } + 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝑨𝟐 } − 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝒀}
Therefore ⇒ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝑨𝟓 } + 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝑨} ≥ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝑨𝟒 } + 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 {𝑨𝟐 }

www.ssmrmh.ro
Using Frobenius inequality:
If 𝑨 ∈ 𝑴𝒏,𝒌 (ℂ), 𝑩 ∈ 𝑴𝒌,𝒑 (ℂ) and 𝑪 ∈ 𝑴𝒑,𝒏 (ℂ) ⇒
⇒ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨𝑩) + 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑩𝑪) ≤ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑩) + 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨𝑩𝑪)
Taking 𝒎 = 𝒌 = 𝒑 = 𝒏
𝑨 → 𝑨𝟑 , 𝑩 → 𝑨, 𝑪 → 𝑨
We have: 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨𝟑 ⋅ 𝑨) + 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨 ⋅ 𝑨) ≤ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨) + 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨𝟑 ⋅ 𝑨 ⋅ 𝑨)
⇒ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨𝟒 ) + 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨𝟐 ) ≤ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨) + 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨𝟓 )
660. If 𝒂, 𝒃, 𝒄, 𝒅 ≥ 𝟎, 𝑨 ∈ 𝑴𝟕,𝟓 (ℂ), 𝑩 ∈ 𝑴𝟓,𝟗 (ℂ), 𝑪 ∈ 𝑴𝟕,𝟑 (ℂ), 𝑫 ∈ 𝑴𝟑,𝟗 (ℂ)

then:
𝟑𝟐(𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 + 𝒄𝟐 + 𝒅𝟐 ) ≥ (𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄 + 𝒅)𝟐 ⋅ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨𝑩 + 𝑪𝑫)
𝑨𝑩, 𝑪𝑫 ∈ 𝑴𝟕,𝟗 (ℂ) ⇒ 𝑨𝑩 + 𝑪𝑫 ∈ 𝑴𝟕,𝟗 (ℂ)
⇒ 𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌 (𝑨𝑩 + 𝑪𝑫) ≤ 𝐦𝐢𝐧(𝟕, 𝟗) = 𝟕
We first show that: 𝟑𝟐(𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 + 𝒄𝟐 + 𝒅𝟐 ) ≥ 𝟕(𝒂 + 𝒃 + 𝒄 + 𝒅)𝟐
⇔ 𝟐𝟓(𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 + 𝒄𝟐 + 𝒅𝟐 ) ≥ 𝟏𝟒[𝒂(𝒃 + 𝒄 + 𝒅) + 𝒃(𝒄 + 𝒅) + 𝒄𝒅]
⇔ 𝟕(𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 − 𝟐𝒂𝒃) + 𝟕(𝒂𝟐 + 𝒄𝟐 − 𝟐𝒂𝒄) + 𝟕(𝒂𝟐 + 𝒄𝟐 − 𝟐𝒂𝒄) +

Now,

{[𝒙] integer part of 𝒙}. Prove that there are infinitely many 𝒏 such that 𝒂𝒏 divides 𝒏

>1
𝒆𝒏+𝟏 − 𝒆𝒏 = 𝒆𝒏 (𝒆 − 𝟏) > 𝒆𝒏 ≥ 𝒏 + 𝟏
By the pigeonhole principle (as in the interval [𝒆𝒏 , 𝒆𝒏+𝟏 ) exist at least 𝒏 + 𝟏 distinct
naturals) one of them will be divided by 𝒏. Therefore ∀𝒏 ∈ ℕ, 𝒏 ≥ 𝟏 ∃𝒂𝒏 = 𝒎 ∈
[𝒆𝒏 , 𝒆𝒏+𝟏 ):
𝒂𝒏 divides 𝒏. Infinitely many 𝒏 → infinitely many 𝒂𝒏 . Done!

Thus, 𝟖 = (𝒙)(𝟐𝒚 ) ≥ 𝟐𝒚 ⇒ 𝟐𝒚 ≤ 𝟖 ⇒ 𝒚 = 𝟎, 𝟏, 𝟐, 𝟑

Now, 𝒙 ⋅ 𝟐𝒚 = 𝟖 ∴ 𝒙 = 𝟐𝒚
𝒙 ∈ ℕ, clearly 𝟖 is divisible by 𝟐𝒚 . This will be possible when 𝒚 = 𝟏, 𝟐, 𝟑

[because 𝟖 is divisible by 𝟐, 𝟐𝟐 , 𝟐𝟑 ]. Corresponding values of 𝒙 are

Solution 1 by Rajarshi Chakraborty-India
𝒎 + 𝒏 + 𝒑 + 𝒎𝒏 + 𝒏𝒑 + 𝒎𝒑 + 𝒎𝒏𝒑 = 𝟑𝟓 (i)
(𝒑 + 𝟐) ⋅ 𝒑𝒑 = (𝒑 + 𝟐)𝒑 (ii)
From (ii)
𝒑𝒑 = (𝒑 + 𝟐)𝒑−𝟏 ⇒ 𝒑|𝒑 + 𝟐 ⇒ 𝒑 = 𝟐 or 1
For 𝒑 = 𝟐, 𝟐𝟐 = (𝟐 + 𝟐)𝟐−𝟏 , and for 𝒑 = 𝟏, 𝟏𝟏 = (𝟏 + 𝟐)𝟏−𝟏
Case 1 (𝒑 = 𝟐): 𝒎 + 𝒏 + 𝟐 + 𝒎𝒏 + 𝟐𝒏 + 𝟐𝒎 + 𝟐𝒎𝒏 = 𝟑𝟓
⇒ 𝒎 + 𝒏 + 𝒎𝒏 = 𝟏𝟏

𝒏=𝟏 𝒎=𝟓

𝒏=𝟑 𝒎∉ℕ
𝒏=𝟒 𝒎∉ℕ
𝒏=𝟓 𝒎=𝟐

Thus (𝒎, 𝒏, 𝒑) ∈ {(𝟖, 𝟏, 𝟏), (𝟓, 𝟐, 𝟏), (𝟐, 𝟓, 𝟏), (𝟏, 𝟖, 𝟏), (𝟓, 𝟏, 𝟐), (𝟑, 𝟐, 𝟐), (𝟐, 𝟑, 𝟐), (𝟏, 𝟓, 𝟐)}
Solution 2 by Ertan Yildirim-Izmir-Turkiye
i) 𝒎 + 𝒑 + 𝒎𝒏 + 𝒏𝒑 + 𝒑𝒎 + 𝒎𝒏𝒑 = 𝟑𝟓
(𝟏 + 𝒎)(𝟏 + 𝒏)(𝟏 + 𝒑) = 𝟑𝟔
𝒑+𝟐 𝒑−𝟏 𝟐 𝒑
ii) 𝒑𝒑−𝟏 ⋅ 𝒑 = (𝒑 + 𝟐)𝒑−𝟏 ⇒ 𝒑 = ( ) = (𝟏 + 𝒑)
𝒑
∴ 𝒑|𝟐 then 𝒑 = 𝟏 or 𝒑 = 𝟐
𝑰𝒇 𝒑 = 𝟏, (𝟏 + 𝟐) ⋅ 𝟏𝟏 = (𝟏 + 𝟐)𝟏 ⇒ 𝟑 = 𝟑
} 𝒑 = 𝟏 and 𝒑 = 𝟐 satisfy the equation.
𝑰𝒇 𝒑 = 𝟐, (𝟐 + 𝟐) ⋅ 𝟐𝟐 = (𝟐 + 𝟐)𝟐 ⇒ 𝟏𝟔 = 𝟏𝟔
If 𝒑 = 𝟏 then (𝟏 + 𝒎)(𝟏 + 𝒏) = 𝟏𝟖, (𝒎, 𝒏) = (𝟎, 𝟏𝟕), (𝟏, 𝟖), (𝟐, 𝟓), (𝟏𝟕, 𝟎), (𝟖, 𝟏), (𝟓, 𝟐)
where 𝒑 = 𝟏
If 𝒑 = 𝟐 then (𝟏 + 𝒎)(𝟏 + 𝒏) = 𝟏𝟐, (𝒎, 𝒏) = (𝟎, 𝟏𝟏)(𝟏, 𝟓), (𝟐, 𝟑), (𝟏𝟏, 𝟎), (𝟓, 𝟏), (𝟑, 𝟐)

{ 𝒛𝟐 + + 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝒚 𝒛 = 𝟗𝟏
𝒙
𝒚𝒚 = 𝟑𝒚+𝟗
𝒙𝒙 = 𝟐𝒙+𝟒 > 𝟐𝒙 ⇒ 𝒙 > 2
𝟒
Also, 𝒙 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝟐 𝒙 = 𝒙 + 𝟒 ⇒ 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝟐 𝒙 = 𝟏 + 𝒙

www.ssmrmh.ro
𝟒
𝒚 = 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝟐 𝒙 is an increasing function and 𝒚 = 𝟏 + 𝒙 is a decreasing function for 𝒙 > 2
𝟒
∴ 𝒚 = 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝟐 𝒙 and 𝒚 = 𝟏 + 𝒙
meet in exactly one point viz. 𝒙 = 𝟒
Thus, 𝒙𝒙 = 𝟐𝒙+𝟒 ⇒ 𝒙 = 𝟒. Similarly 𝒚𝒚 = 𝟑𝒚+𝟗 ⇒ 𝒚 = 𝟗

𝟒𝒛 𝟒𝒛
Now: 𝒛𝟐 + + 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝒚 𝒛 = 𝟗𝟏 ⇒ 𝒛𝟐 + + 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝟗 (𝒛) = 𝟗𝟏
𝒙 𝟒
⇒ 𝒛𝟐 + 𝒛 + 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝟗 (𝒛) = 𝟗𝟏 (1)

If 𝟎 < 𝑧 < 9, then 𝑳𝑯𝑺 of (1) < 91
If 𝒙 > 9 then LHS of (1) > 91
For 𝒛 = 𝟗, then LHS of (1) = 𝟗𝟏
Thus, 𝒙 = 𝟒, 𝒚 = 𝟗, 𝒛 = 𝟗

∗ If: 𝒙 ≥ 𝟑, 𝒈′(𝒙) = 𝟑𝒙 (𝟗𝟐+𝒙 − 𝟑𝒙 (𝟏 + 𝟐𝒙)) 𝒍𝒏(𝟑) , we have: 𝟗𝟐+𝒙 − 𝟑𝒙 (𝟏 + 𝟐𝒙)
𝟐 𝟐

Also: 𝟐𝒙 + 𝟒 ≤ 𝒙𝟐 + 𝟏∀𝒙 ≥ 𝟑 ⇒ 𝒈′(𝒙) < 0∀𝒙 ≥ 𝟑
⇒ 𝒈(𝒙) is monotone strictly decreasing function where 𝒙 ≥ 𝟑
And 𝒇(𝒙) is monotone strictly increasing function ⇒ If solution of 𝒇(𝒙)

√𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 + √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 − √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 + √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 and 𝝅√𝒆
Proposed by Nguyen Van Canh-Vietnam

Solution by Eric Cismaru-Romania
Since 𝟒 > 𝝅 and 𝟒 > 𝒆, we have 𝟒𝟓 > 𝟏𝟔 > 𝝅√𝒆 , so it is sufficient to prove that the radical
expression is greater than 𝟒𝟓.
If we denote 𝒙 = √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 − √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 + √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐, then we have
√𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 + 𝒙 > 𝟒𝟓 ⇔ 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 + 𝒙 > 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 ⇔ 𝒙 > 𝟏 ⇔ 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 − √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 + √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 > 𝟏 ⇔
⇔ 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 > √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 + √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 ⇔ 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 ⋅ 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 > √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 ⇔ 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 ⋅ √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 > 𝟎
In conclusion, we have √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 + √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 − √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 + √𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 > 𝝅√𝒆
