m3m \ge 3 为整数,且 S={3,4,5,,m}S = \{3, 4, 5, \ldots, m\}。求最小的 mm,使得对 SS 的任意二划分,至少有一个子集包含整数 aabbcc(不一定互不相同),满足 ab=cab = c

注:SS 的一个划分是一对集合 AABB,满足 AB=A \cap B = \emptysetAB=SA \cup B = S

Let m3m \ge 3 be an integer and let S={3,4,5,,m}.S = \{3, 4, 5, \ldots, m\}. Find the smallest value of mm such that for every partition of SS into two subsets, at least one of the subsets contains integers a,a, b,b, and cc (not necessarily distinct) such that ab=c.ab = c.

Note: a partition of SS is a pair of sets A,A, BB such that AB=A \cap B = \emptyset and AB=S.A \cup B = S.

解答:

首先,m=243m = 243 可行。假设 S={3,4,,243}S = \{3, 4, \ldots, 243\} 被划分为 TTUU,且二者都不含这样的乘积,并设 3T3 \in T。则 9=339 = 3 \cdot 3 必须在 UU 中,所以 81=9981 = 9 \cdot 9 必须在 TT 中,进而 243=381243 = 3 \cdot 81 必须在 UU 中。现在考虑 2727:若 27T27 \in T,则 327=813 \cdot 27 = 81TT 中形成乘积;若 27U27 \in U,则 927=2439 \cdot 27 = 243UU 中形成乘积。无论如何都会矛盾。

对于 m=242m = 242,划分 T={3,,8}{81,,242}T = \{3, \ldots, 8\} \cup \{81, \ldots, 242\}U={9,,80}U = \{9, \ldots, 80\} 可避免乘积:{3,,8}\{3, \ldots, 8\} 中两个元素的乘积落在 [9,64]U[9, 64] \subseteq U,任何含有 {81,,242}\{81, \ldots, 242\} 中元素的乘积至少为 381=243>2423 \cdot 81 = 243 \gt 242,而 UU 中两个元素的乘积至少为 81>8081 \gt 80

因此最小的 mm243243

First, m=243m = 243 works. Suppose S={3,4,,243}S = \{3, 4, \ldots, 243\} were partitioned into TT and UU with neither containing a product, and say 3T.3 \in T. Then 9=339 = 3 \cdot 3 must lie in U,U, so 81=9981 = 9 \cdot 9 must lie in T,T, and then 243=381243 = 3 \cdot 81 must lie in U.U. Now consider 27:27: if 27T,27 \in T, then 327=813 \cdot 27 = 81 puts a product in T;T; if 27U,27 \in U, then 927=2439 \cdot 27 = 243 puts one in U.U. Either way we reach a contradiction.

For m=242,m = 242, the partition T={3,,8}{81,,242}T = \{3, \ldots, 8\} \cup \{81, \ldots, 242\} and U={9,,80}U = \{9, \ldots, 80\} avoids products: two elements of {3,,8}\{3, \ldots, 8\} multiply to something in [9,64]U,[9, 64] \subseteq U, any product involving an element of {81,,242}\{81, \ldots, 242\} is at least 381=243>242,3 \cdot 81 = 243 \gt 242, and two elements of UU multiply to at least 81>80.81 \gt 80.

Hence the smallest such mm is 243.243.
