Solution: 2012-11 Dividing a circle

Let f be a continuous function from [0,1] such that f([0,1]) is a circle. Prove that there exists two closed intervals \(I_1, I_2 \subseteq [0,1]\) such that \(I_1\cap I_2\) has at most one point, \(f(I_1)\) and \(f(I_2)\) are semicircles, and \(f(I_1)\cup f(I_2)\) is a circle.

The best solution was submitted by Myeongjae Lee (이명재), 2012학번. Congratulations!

2012-13 functions for an inequality

Determine all nonnegative functions f(x,y) and g(x,y) such that \[ \left(\sum_{i=1}^n a_i b_i \right)^2 \le \left( \sum_{i=1}^n f(a_i,b_i)\right) \left(\sum_{i=1}^n g(a_i,b_i)\right) \le \left(\sum_{i=1}^n a_i^2\right) \left(\sum_{i=1}^n b_i^2\right)\] for all reals \(a_i\), \(b_i\) and all positive integers n.
