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