Jun 25, 2023 at 13:46 comment added Michael Engelhardt @Kariuki - The answers now given treat the issue in much more detail, but just to respond to your query in comments, also on the left hand side, it should really be $\log (x/h)$; but then the extra constant $-\log h$ is canceled once you apply the difference operator.

Jun 25, 2023 at 12:01 comment added Carlo Beenakker If you know $\Delta_1^{-1}f(rx)$ you can obtain $\Delta_h^{-1}f(rx)$ by rescaling $r\mapsto rh$ and $x\mapsto x/h$. To obtain such functional inverses of the derivative operator it is easiest to transform to Fourier space, I worked this out in the answer box.

Jun 23, 2023 at 5:52 comment added Kariuki I saw that, but couldn't see how to make it work for other examples e.g. for $\Delta_h^{-1}x^a,$ or $\Delta_h^{-1}b^x$
Jun 23, 2023 at 1:43 comment added Michael Engelhardt Dimensional analysis, as you mention, would seem to be exactly what you need. In your test, the argument of a log has to be dimensionless. Any length $x$ has to be given in units of your scale $h$ in order to be quantified in a dimensionless manner. Hence, $x \rightarrow x/h$.
