On regular solutions of some simple iterative functional equations (Q1888656)

The following iterative functional equation is considered: \[ \Phi ( \alpha x) = L [ \Phi (x)]+ F(x) \quad (x \in E) \] where \( \Phi : E \to G\) is the unknown function, \(E\) and \(G\) are complex normed linear spaces, \(F: E \to G\) is a given function, \(\alpha \) is a root of unity of order \(n\), \(I\) is the identical mapping in \(G\) and \(L: G \to G\) is a given linear mapping satisfying \(L^n= I\). By using direct methods, the author finds the general solution, its continuous solutions, and, in the case \(E=C^q\), its differentiable solutions. The results presented here complete a previous paper dealing with the case \( L(x) = \beta x \) \( ( x \in G)\) where \(\beta\) is some complex number.
