Abstract

We consider the following iterative equation

$$ \sum_{i=0}^{k}a_{i}f^{i}(x)=0, $$

where a0,…, a k are given real numbers and ƒ is an unknown function. Assuming some conditions on the coefficients a0,…, a k we prove that this equation has exactly one solution and that the solution depends continuously on the coefficients.
