Find all real-coefficient polynomials $f(x)$ which satisfy the following conditions: i. $f(x) = a_0 x^{2n} + a_2 x^{2n - 2} + \cdots + a_{2n - 2} x^2 + a_{2n}, a_0 > 0$; ii. $\sum_{j=0}^n a_{2j} a_{2n - 2j} \leq \left( \begin{array}{c} 2n\\ n\end{array} \right) a_0 a_{2n}$; iii. All the roots of $f(x)$ are imaginary numbers with no real part.
