functional equations - Finding all real valued functions that satisfy f(f(y)+xf(x))=y+(f(x))2



I would like some help with finding all real valued functions that satisfy this equation:




f(f(y)+xf(x))=y+(f(x))2



I tried the usual substitutions like x=y=0, but my experience with this kind of problem is very limited.



EDIT: I'm an idiot and copied the wrong right side. Updated it now.


Answer



f(f(y)+xf(x))=y+f2(x)


Let x=0, then :
f(f(y))=y+f2(0)


So as y is one-one and onto and invertible, that said that f is onto, so there's no harm supposing that f(x)=0 or x=f1(0):
f(f(y))=yf(y)=f1y

Does that give you a hint[f is a one-one onto invertible self-inverse function]. Try f(x)=x or f(x)=x.
