How to find a nonlinear function f:mathbbR2tomathbbR2 that is almost linear in the sense f(alpha(a,b))=alphaf(a,b)?

I need to find a nonlinear function f:R2R2 such that f(α(a,b))=αf(a,b) for all (a,b)R2 and αR.



I can't find anything.




Context



The requirement f(α(a,b))=αf(a,b) says that f respects the scalar multiplication, just as linear maps do. In particular, f is homogeneous of degree 1. To make it nonlinear, one has to somehow destroy the additive property f(a+c,b+d)=f(a,b)+f(c,d).
