A Class of Continuous Solutions of a Fourth Order Polynomial-like Iterative Equation
Main Article Content
Abstract
Using the so-called characteristic method, continuous solutions of the fourth order polynomial-like iterative equation
were determined subject to certain natural conditions on its characteristic roots. The result so obtained complements earlier work in the cases of second and third order equations.
Keywords: polynomial-like iterative equation; continuous solution; characteristic root
