Abstract:

Most known results on polynomial-like iterative equations are concentrated to increasing solutions. Without the uniformity of orientation and monotonicity, it becomes much more difficult for decreasing cases. In this paper, we prove the existence of decreasing solutions for a general iterative equation, which was proposed as an open problem in[J. Zhang, L. Yang, W. Zhang, Some advances on functional equations, Adv. Math. (China) 24 (1995) 385-405] (or[W. Zhang, J.A. Baker, Continuous solutions of a polynomial-like iterative equation with variable coefficients, Ann. Polon. Math. 73 (2000) 29-36]).

Key words: iterative equation, orientation-reversing, Schröder transformation, fixed point theorem
