I recognize the differential function equation you are discussing because it is produced by power towers of height x.

Let $f(x)=a^x$, then $f^n(x)$ produces a power tower.

Typically functional equations are solved by having some preexisting idea as to the form of the solution. I do recommend "Iterative Functional Equations" by Kuczma if you haven't read it.
