Problem Statement

For an integer n2n\ge 2 find all a1,a2,,an,b1,b2,,bna_1,a_2,\cdots ,a_n, b_1,b_2,\cdots , b_n so that (a) 0a1a2an1b1b2bn;0\le a_1\le a_2\le \cdots \le a_n\le 1\le b_1\le b_2\le \cdots \le b_n; (b) k=1n(ak+bk)=2n;\sum_{k=1}^n (a_k+b_k)=2n; (c) k=1n(ak2+bk2)=n2+3n.\sum_{k=1}^n (a_k^2+b_k^2)=n^2+3n.
