Most of known results were given for the given function to be monotone. We discuss this equation for continuous solutions in the case that the given function is a PM(piecewise monotone) function, a special class of non-monotonic functions. Using extension method, we give a general construction of solutions for the polynomial-like iterative equation.展开更多

We studied the monotonicity and Convexity properties of the new functions involving the gamma function, and get the general conclusion that Minc-Sathre and C. P. Chen-G. Wang’s inequality are extended and refined.

文摘The polynomial-like iterative equation is an important form of functional equations, in which iterates of the unknown function are linked in a linear combination. Most of known results were given for the given function to be monotone. We discuss this equation for continuous solutions in the case that the given function is a PM(piecewise monotone) function, a special class of non-monotonic functions. Using extension method, we give a general construction of solutions for the polynomial-like iterative equation.
