Abstract
In this survey paper we present some recent results in the iteration theory. Mainly, we focus on the problems concerning real iteration groups (flows) and semigroups (semiflows) such as existence, regularity and embeddability. We also discuss some issues associated to the problem of embedddability, i.e. iterative roots and approximate iterability. The topics of this paper are: (1) measurable iteration semigroups; (2) embedding of diffeomorphisms in regular iteration semigroups in \({{\mathbb{R}}^n}\) space; (3) iteration groups of fixed point free homeomorphisms on the plane; (4) embedding of interval homeomorphisms with two fixed points in a regular iteration group; (5) commuting functions and embeddability; (6) iterative roots; (7) the structure of iteration groups on an interval; (8) iteration groups of homeomorphisms of the circle; (9) approximately iterable functions; (10) set-valued iteration semigroups; (11) iterations of mean-type mappings; (12) Hayers–Ulam stability of the translation equation. Most of the results presented here was obtained by the means of functional equations. We indicate the relations between the iteration theory and functional equations.
