Solving functional equations via finite substitutions (Q2375919)

Let \(H \subset \mathbb{R}\) be a nonempty open set, \(\xi \in H\), \(\eta \in \mathbb{R}^{n}\) and \(G(H) = \{g_{1},\dots,g_{mn}\}\) be a set of continuous functions \(g_{i}: H \to H\), \(i = 1,\dots, mn\), which forms a group under the operation of composition. Some conditions are given under which there exists a \(G(H)\)-invariant open set \(H_{0} \subset H\) containing \(\xi\) and a unique differentiable function \(f: H_{0} \to \mathbb{R}\) satisfying \[ F(f \circ g_{1}(t),\dots,f \circ g_{mn}(t)) = h(t),\;\;f \circ g_{kn+l}(\xi) = \eta_{l}, \] for \(l = 1,2,\dots,n\), and \(k = 0, 1,\dots,m-1\). A stability-type theorem is also proved.
