2010-7 Cardinality

Let S be the set of non-zero real numbers x such that there is exactly one 0-1 sequence {an} satisfying \(\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n x^{-n}=1\). Prove that there is a one-to-one function from the set of all real numbers to S.

2010-3 Sum

Evaluate the following sum

\(\displaystyle\sum_{m=1}^\infty \sum_{\substack{n\ge 1\\ (m,n)=1}} \frac{x^{m-1}y^{n-1}}{1-x^m y^n}\)

when |x|, |y|<1.

(We write (m,n) to denote the g.c.d of m and n.)

2010-1 Covering the unit square by squares

Prove that finitely many squares on the plane with total area at least 3 can cover the unit square.
