Conjugacy of P-configurations and nonlinear solutions to a certain conditional Cauchy equation (Q958857)

A homogeneous Cauchy type functional equation is an equation of the form \[ f(t)=f(\delta_1(t))+f(\delta_2(t)), \] where \(t\in [-1,1]\) and \(f\) is an unknown function and \(\delta_1, \delta_2\) are two increasing maps on \([-1,1]\) which satisfy \(\delta_1(t)+\delta_2(t)=t\) and certain additional conditions. Such functions \(\delta_1, \delta_2\) are said to form a P-configuration in \([-1,1]\). \textit{B. Paneah} [Discrete Contin. Dyn. Syst. 10, No.~1--2, 497--505 (2004); erratum ibid. 11, No.~2--3, 744 (2004; Zbl 1057.39022)] showed that every continuously differential solution of the equation above is linear. In this paper the author by an analysis of P-configuration dynamical systems shows that the equation above and, in particular, the functional equation \[ f(t)=f(\frac{t+1}{2})+f(\frac{t-1}{2}) \] have a continuous nonlinear solution.
