On Probability Distribution Solutions of a Functional Equation

Janusz Morawiec, Ludwig Reich (2005)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

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 | ( - , 0 ] = 0 , φ | [ 1 , ) = 1 , = φ: ℝ → ℝ|φ is continuous, φ | ( - , 0 ] = 0 , φ | [ 1 , ) = 1 . 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 exact connection...

On the differentiability of certain saltus functions

Gerald Kuba (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We investigate several natural questions on the differentiability of certain strictly increasing singular functions. Furthermore, motivated by the observation that for each famous singular function f investigated in the past, f’(ξ) = 0 if f’(ξ) exists and is finite, we show how, for example, an increasing real function g can be constructed so that g ' ( x ) = 2 x for all rational numbers x and g’(x) = 0 for almost all irrational numbers x.
