Let 0 < β < α < 1 and let p ∈ (0,1). We consider the functional equation
φ(x) = pφ (x-β)/(1-β) + (1-p)φ(minx/α, (x(α-β)+β(1-α))/α(1-β))
and its solutions in two classes of functions, namely
ℐ = φ: ℝ → ℝ|φ is increasing, , ,
= φ: ℝ → ℝ|φ is continuous, , .
We prove that the above equation has at most one solution in and that for some parameters α,β and p such a solution exists, and for some it does not. We also determine all solutions of the equation in ℐ and we show the...
