If a function fff satisfies f( m+n)=f( m)+f(n)f(\mathrm{~m}+\mathrm{n})=f(\mathrm{~m})+f(\mathrm{n})f( m+n)=f( m)+f(n) for all m,n∈N\mathrm{m}, \mathrm{n} \in \mathbf{N}m,n∈N and f(1)=1f(1)=1f(1)=1, then the largest natural number λ\lambdaλ such that ∑k=12022f(λ+k)≤(2022)2\sum_{\mathrm{k}=1}^{2022} f(\lambda+\mathrm{k}) \leq(2022)^2k=1∑2022​f(λ+k)≤(2022)2 is equal to ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​.

Correct answer: 1010

  1. We are given

    \quad \text{for all } m,n\in \mathbb N,$$ and $$f(1)=1.$$
  2. Since the relation holds for all natural numbers, we can determine f(n)f(n)f(n) for every n∈Nn\in\mathbb Nn∈N.

    Using induction / repeated addition: f(2)=f(1+1)=f(1)+f(1)=2,f(2)=f(1+1)=f(1)+f(1)=2,f(2)=f(1+1)=f(1)+f(1)=2, f(3)=f(2+1)=f(2)+f(1)=3,f(3)=f(2+1)=f(2)+f(1)=3,f(3)=f(2+1)=f(2)+f(1)=3, and in general, f(n)=nf(1)=n.f(n)=n f(1)=n.f(n)=nf(1)=n. Since f(1)=1f(1)=1f(1)=1, we get f(n)=nfor all n∈N.f(n)=n \quad \text{for all } n\in\mathbb N.f(n)=nfor all n∈N.

  3. Now evaluate ∑k=12022f(λ+k).\sum_{k=1}^{2022} f(\lambda+k).∑k=12022​f(λ+k). Since f(n)=nf(n)=nf(n)=n, ∑k=12022f(λ+k)=∑k=12022(λ+k).\sum_{k=1}^{2022} f(\lambda+k)=\sum_{k=1}^{2022} (\lambda+k).∑k=12022​f(λ+k)=∑k=12022​(λ+k).

  4. Split the sum: ∑k=12022(λ+k)=∑k=12022λ+∑k=12022k.\sum_{k=1}^{2022} (\lambda+k)=\sum_{k=1}^{2022} \lambda+\sum_{k=1}^{2022} k.∑k=12022​(λ+k)=∑k=12022​λ+∑k=12022​k. Hence, =2022λ+2022⋅20232.=2022\lambda+\frac{2022\cdot 2023}{2}.=2022λ+22022⋅2023​.

  5. The given inequality is 2022λ+2022⋅20232≤(2022)2.2022\lambda+\frac{2022\cdot 2023}{2}\le (2022)^2.2022λ+22022⋅2023​≤(2022)2.

  6. Simplify: 2022⋅20232=1011⋅2023=2045253,\frac{2022\cdot 2023}{2}=1011\cdot 2023=2045253,22022⋅2023​=1011⋅2023=2045253, and (2022)2=4088484.(2022)^2=4088484.(2022)2=4088484. So, 2022λ+2045253≤4088484.2022\lambda+2045253\le 4088484.2022λ+2045253≤4088484. Therefore, 2022λ≤4088484−2045253=2043231.2022\lambda\le 4088484-2045253=2043231.2022λ≤4088484−2045253=2043231.

  7. Divide by 202220222022: λ≤20432312022.\lambda\le \frac{2043231}{2022}.λ≤20222043231​. Now, 2022⋅1010=2042220,2022\cdot 1010=2042220,2022⋅1010=2042220, 2022⋅1011=2044242.2022\cdot 1011=2044242.2022⋅1011=2044242. Since 2042220≤2043231<2044242,2042220\le 2043231<2044242,2042220≤2043231<2044242, the largest natural number satisfying the inequality is λ=1010.\lambda=1010.λ=1010.

  8. Verification: For λ=1010\lambda=1010λ=1010, ∑k=12022(1010+k)=2022⋅1010+2022⋅20232=4087473≤4088484.\sum_{k=1}^{2022} (1010+k)=2022\cdot 1010+\frac{2022\cdot 2023}{2}=4087473\le 4088484.∑k=12022​(1010+k)=2022⋅1010+22022⋅2023​=4087473≤4088484. For λ=1011\lambda=1011λ=1011, the sum increases by 202220222022, giving 4087473+2022=4089495>4088484,4087473+2022=4089495>4088484,4087473+2022=4089495>4088484, so 101110111011 does not work.

Therefore, the required largest natural number is 1010.\boxed{1010}.1010​.
