Problem Statement

Let a1 a_1, \ldots, ak a_k, a_{k\plus{}1}, \ldots, an a_n be n n positive numbers (k<n k<n). Suppose that the values of a_{k\plus{}1}, a_{k\plus{}2}, \ldots, an a_n are fixed. Choose the values of a1 a_1, a2 a_2, \ldots, ak a_k that minimize the sum i,j,ijaiaj \sum_{i, j, i\neq j}\frac{a_i}{a_j}
