Non-single-valley solutions for \(p\)-order Feigenbaum's type functional equation \(f(\varphi(x)) = \varphi^p(f(x))\) (Q1724846)

Summary: This work deals with Feigenbaum's functional equation \(f(\varphi(x)) = \varphi^p(f(x))\), \(\varphi(0) = 1\), \(0 \leq \varphi(x) \leq 1\), \(x \in [0, 1]\), where \(p \geq 2\) is an integer, \(\varphi^p\) is the \(p\)-fold iteration of \(\varphi\), and \(f(x)\) is a strictly increasing continuous function on \([0, 1]\) that satisfies \(f(0) = 0\), \(f(x) < x\), \((x \in(0, 1])\). Using a constructive method, we discuss the existence of non-single-valley continuous solutions of the above equation.
