On expanding iteration semigroups of set-valued functions.
We find all continuous iterative roots of nth order of a Sperner homeomorphism of the plane onto itself.
We consider the Abel equation φ[f(x)] = φ(x) + a on the plane ℝ², where f is a free mapping (i.e. f is an orientation preserving homeomorphism of the plane onto itself with no fixed points). We find all its homeomorphic and diffeomorphic solutions φ having positive Jacobian. Moreover, we give some conditions which are equivalent to f being conjugate to a translation.
We prove that for some parameters q ∈ (0,1) every solution f:ℝ → ℝ of the functional equation f(qx) = 1/(4q) [f(x-1) + f(x+1) + 2f(x)] which vanishes outside the interval [-q/(1-q),q/(1-q)] and is bounded in a neighbourhood of a point of that interval vanishes everywhere.
We collect and generalize various known definitions of principal iteration semigroups in the case of multiplier zero and establish connections among them. The common characteristic property of each definition is conjugating of an iteration semigroup to different normal forms. The conjugating functions are expressed by suitable formulas and satisfy either Böttcher’s or Schröder’s functional equation.
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 exact connection...
