How may I find all continuous and bounded functions g with the following property?

Find all continuous and bounded functions $g$ with : $$\forall x \in \mathbb R, 4g(x)=g(x+1)+g(x-1)+g(x+\pi)+g(x-\pi).$$ I have posted this question here, but received no answer.

Solve $f(x)=\int_{x-1}^{x+1} f(t) \mathrm{d}t$

Solve $f(x)=\int_{x-1}^{x+1} f(t) \mathrm{d}t$. When $f$ is a function, it looks like the only solution is $f(x)=0$. But what if we allow distributions, such as the Dirac delta?

Fourier Transform, for entire function

On THIS site, Alexandre used Fourier transform to solve the problem. If we use Fourier transform, how to define it to ensure any entire function has a FT? Classical FT is defined by $$ \mathcal{F}[f]...

One question about a specific first-order differential equation

Find the function-constant pairs $\langle f(x),c\rangle$ that satisfy the differential equation below: $$f'(x)=f(x+c),$$ where $c \in \mathbb{C}$ and $f(x) \in \mathbb{C}$. I found two families of ...

Solving the functional equation $2f(x)=f(x+a_n)+f(x-a_n)$

Let $a_n$ be a sequence of strictly positive real numbers such that $\lim_{n \to \infty}a_n=0$. Find all functions $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ that admit primitives (i.e. there exists a function $F:...

Eigenfunctions of an infinite summation operator

I would like to find ALL eigenfunctions to the operator, for $f$ a real function on R+*: $f \rightarrow \sum_{1}^{\infty} f(nx)$ So to find $f$ such that: $\sum_{1}^{\infty} f(nx) = \lambda f(x)$ ...

How to solve a linear algebraic complex equation in one function evaluated at different arguments?

Hello, I am trying to solve an equation of the form $C_1 f(k_1 z) + C_2 f(k_2 z) + C_3 f(k_3 z) + C_4 f(k_4 z) = C_5 z^2$ for $f(z)$. Everything is complex. The $C_i$'s and $k_i$'s depend on some ...

Differential equation problem

I am stuck on a problem for a while. How do I solve $f'(x)=-kf(x-1)$? Unlike normal questions which has $f(x)$ on the RHS, this has $f(x-1)$ which has me stumped.

Reference for numerical solutions for differential equations like $f'(x)=f(x+1)+f(x-1)$

One can solve a delay differential equation (like for example $f'(x)=f(x-1)$) if we have a function as a bounded condition (in my example we need to know $f$ on $[0,1)$) and then use a simple forward ...
