Let be a set of real numbers. We say that a pair of functions from into is a Spanish Couple on , if they satisfy the following conditions:
(i) Both functions are strictly increasing, i.e. and for all , with ;
(ii) The inequality holds for all .
Decide whether there exists a Spanish Couple on the set of positive integers; on the set
