Middle European Mathematical Olympiad 2025 Problem I-1

Let R+\mathbb{R}^+ be the set of positive real numbers. Let f ⁣:R+R+f\colon \mathbb{R}^{+}\to \mathbb{R}^{+} be a function such that for all x,yR+x,y\in \mathbb{R}^{+} it holds that

yf2025(x)xf(y).y f^{2025}(x) \geq x f(y).

Show that there exists a positive integer n0n_0 such that for all positive integers nn0n \geq n_0 and for all xR+x \in \mathbb{R}^+ it holds that

fn(x)x.f^n(x) \geq x.

Remark. Here fnf^n denotes the function ff applied nn times, this means fn(x)=f(f(f(x)))n timesf^n(x) = \underbrace{f(f(\ldots f(x)\ldots))}_{n \text{ times}}.

Middle European Mathematical Olympiad 2025 Problem T-2

Let R+\mathbb{R}^+ be the set of positive real numbers. Determine all functions f ⁣:R+R+f\colon \mathbb{R}^{+}\to \mathbb{R}^{+} such that for all numbers x,yR+x,y\in \mathbb{R}^{+}, we have f(xy)+f(x)=f(y)f(xf(y))+f(x)f(y),f(xy) + f(x) = f(y)f(xf(y)) + f(x)f(y),

and there exists at most one number aR+a \in \mathbb{R}^+ such that f(a)=1f(a) = 1.

Middle European Mathematical Olympiad 2025 Problem T-8

Determine whether the following statement is true for every polynomial PP of degree at least 2 with nonnegative integer coefficients:

There exists a positive integer mm such that for infinitely many positive integers nn the number Pn(m)P^n(m) has more than nn distinct positive divisors.

Remark. Here PnP^n denotes PP applied nn times, this means Pn(x)=P(P(P(x)))n timesP^n(x) = \underbrace{P(P(\ldots P(x)\ldots))}_{n \text{ times}}.
