To solve the problem, we need to identify all sequences (x1,x2,…,x2011) of positive integers such that for every positive integer n, there exists an integer a satisfying:
j=1∑2011jxjn=an+1+1
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Consider the Case n=1:**
Starting with n=1, the condition becomes:
j=1∑2011jxj=a2+1
2. Explore the Structure of the Sequence:
To satisfy the condition for every n, observe the symmetry of the powers and sums. If we choose x1=1, and the rest of the sequence as constant xj=k for j=2,…,2011, we can potentially simplify the problem. Define the sequence as:
(x1,x2,…,x2011)=(1,k,k,…,k)
3. Analyze the Expression:
Substituting x1=1 and x2=x3=⋯=x2011=k, the sum becomes:
j=1∑2011jxjn=1n+j=2∑2011jkn
=1+knj=2∑2011j=1+kn(2+3+⋯+2011)
4. Sum Calculation:
Evaluate the sum 2+3+⋯+2011. Using the formula for the sum of consecutive integers:
S=22011×2012−1=22011×2012−1
Solving gives:
S=2023065
5. **Define k and Verify:**
If we let k=2023065, the sum becomes:
j=1∑2011jxjn=1+2023065n⋅2023065=1+(2023065)n+1
This ensures for any n, there exists an integer a=2023065 such that:
an+1+1
6. Conclusion:
Hence, the sequence that satisfies the given condition for every positive integer n is:
(x1,x2,…,x2011)=(1,2023065,…,2023065)
Thus, the sequence is:
(x1,x2,…,x2011)=(1,2023065,…,2023065)
