How do I solve the following functional equation:
f(x)+12f−1(x)=1xf(x)
I've been doing a lot of functional equations, but I haven't done one yet that has the function and its inverse together. All I've done so far is figure out that f(x) has a fixed point at x=113 and that f(0) starts a cycle of orbit 2.
Thanks! All help is appreciated!
Answer
We have
y=f(x)
and:
x=f−1(y)=g(y)
Thus
(1x−1)f(x)=12f−1(x)x=f(f−1(x))=f(112(1x−1)f(x))
Thus, we can formulate a recursive numeric search on f:
mindf|x−f(112(1x−1)f(x)+df(x))+df(112(1x−1)f(x))|
