Claim1: f(x1,x2,...,xn)=xi (i is not fixed) As If f(x1,x2,...,xn)=k=f(k,k,...,k),www.ddhw.com then from f(x1,x2,...,xn)=f(k,k,...,k), there at least is i, such that xi=k by condition 2 (otherwise f(x1,x2,...,xn)> So f(x1,x2,...,xn)=xi (转自:顶顶华闻 www.TopChineseNews.com )We have to prove the i is independent from (x1,x2,...,xn). For convenience, wlog, we may assume there are distinct integers y1,y2,...,yn, such that f(y1,y2,...,yn)=y1 , then we must prove f(x1,...,xn)=x1 for any (x1,...,xn).www.ddhw.com let Z1={z1 in Z: f(z1,k,k,...k)=z1, for some k<>z1} let Z2={z2 in Z: f(k,z2,z2,...,z2)=z2, for some k<>z2} Clearly, the intersection of Z1 and Z2 is empty, otherwise , if z is a common integer f(z,k,k,...,k)=z=f(l,z,z,...,z), for some k<>z, l<>z, contradicts with condition2. Also we have: Z1UZ2=Z. (By Claim 1)www.ddhw.com (转自:顶顶华闻 www.TopChineseNews.com )Let A={(x,y) in Z^2: f(x,y,y,...,y)=x} Let B={(x,y) in Z^2: f(x,y,y,...,y)=y} Clearly the intersection of A and B is {(x,x):xin Z} AUB=Z^2 (转自:顶顶华闻 www.TopChineseNews.com )let z1 in Z1, z2 in Z2 If (z2,z1) is in A, f(z2,z1,z1,...,z1)=z2, then z2 is in Z1, contradiction. If (z2,z1) is in B, f(z2,z1,z1,...,z1)=z1, then z1 is in Z2, contradictionwww.ddhw.com So one of Z1, z2 is empty. (转自:顶顶华闻 www.TopChineseNews.com )If Z1 is empty: f(z,k,k,...,k)=k for any z, k then f(m,y1,y1,...,y1)=y1=f(y1,y2,...,yn) for any m<>y1, as y1,...,yn are distinct, contradiction with condition2. So Z2 must be empty. f(z,k,...,k)=z for any z,k. If f(x1,x2,...,xn)=xi<>x1,www.ddhw.com then f(xi, m,m,...,m)=xi=f(x1,x2,...,xn) for any m beyond {x1,x2,...,xn}, contradiction with condition2.
