On a problem of Nicole Brillouët-Belluot (Q1925806)

The author, answering the problem posed by Nicole Brillouët-Bellout during the 49th international symposium on functional equations in 2011, proves that any continuous bijection defined on an arbitrary real interval \(I\), satisfying the equation \[ f(x) f^{-1} (x) =x^{2}, \] is either linear \[ f(x) =cx,\quad x\in I, \] or of the form \[ f(x) =\begin{cases} ax & \text{if}\, x\in I\cap ( -\infty ,0 ),\\ bx & \text{if}\, x\in I\cap [ 0,\infty).\end{cases} \]
