For a positive integer nn we denote by u(n)u(n) the largest prime number less than or equal to nn, and with v(n)v(n) the smallest prime number larger than nn. Prove that 1u(2)v(2)+1u(3)v(3)++1u(2010)v(2010)=1212011. \frac 1 {u(2)v(2)} + \frac 1{u(3)v(3)} + \cdots + \frac 1{ u(2010)v(2010)} = \frac 12 - \frac 1{2011}.

Let n,p2n,p \geq 2 be two integers and AA an n×nn\times n matrix with real elements such that Ap+1=AA^{p+1} = A. a) Prove that rank(A)+rank(InAp)=n\textrm{rank} \left( A \right) + \textrm{rank} \left( I_n - A^p \right) = n. b) Prove that if pp is prime then rank(InA)=rank(InA2)==rank(InAp1). \textrm{rank} \left( I_n - A \right) = \textrm{rank} \left( I_n - A^2 \right) = \ldots = \textrm{rank} \left( I_n - A^{p-1} \right) .
