- [ 10 ] A function f satisfies, for all nonnegative integers x and y :
• f (0 , x ) = f ( x, 0) = x
• If x ≥ y ≥ 0, f ( x, y ) = f ( x − y, y ) + 1
• If y ≥ x ≥ 0, f ( x, y ) = f ( x, y − x ) + 1
Find the maximum value of f over 0 ≤ x, y ≤ 100.

- [ 10 ] A function f satisfies, for all nonnegative integers x and y :
• f (0 , x ) = f ( x, 0) = x
• If x ≥ y ≥ 0, f ( x, y ) = f ( x − y, y ) + 1
• If y ≥ x ≥ 0, f ( x, y ) = f ( x, y − x ) + 1
Find the maximum value of f over 0 ≤ x, y ≤ 100.
Proposed by: Alexander Katz
Answer: 101
Firstly, f (100 , 100) = 101.
To see this is maximal, note that f ( x, y ) ≤ max { x, y } + 1, say by induction on x + y .
