Suppose I have a function $f$, and positive integers $x$ and $y$ such that $x$ is a square, $x \ne y$ and $y \ne \sqrt{x}$. Now, assume that: $\frac{f(x)}{y} |\frac{f(x)}{y} - \frac{f(y)}{x} frac{f(y)}{x}| > 2$ $|\frac{f(\sqrt{x})}{y} - \frac{f(y)}{\sqrt{x}}| > 1$ for all $x, y$ in the domain of $f$. (Note that $|N|$ is the absolute value of $N$.) My question is: What properties would this function $f$ necessarily possess? In particular, can $f$ be injective? |
