Given a vector valued function $\bf{f}:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^n$, what is a scalar function $g:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ that satisfies the following $$g({\bf x} +\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{x}))=g(\mathbf{x})\det(I+\mathbf{f}'(\mathbf{x})),$$ where $\bf{f}'(\bf{x})$ is the Jacobian matrix of $\bf{f}(\bf{x})$ and $I$ is the $n\times n$ identity matrix.
If a solution can't be found for arbitrary $\bf{f}$, what structure can one impose on $\bf{f}$ for there to exist a particular function $g$ that satisfies the above condition.
One particular example of a function $g$ that satisfies the above is all I'm after (i.e., I don't need the most general solution).
Alternatively: Can one prove that there does not exist a function $g$ that satisfies the above?
