Abstract

This paper deals with the \(p\)-order functional equation \[\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} f(\varphi(x))=\varphi^p(f(x)),\\ \varphi(0)=1, \quad -1\leq \varphi(x)\leq1 , \quad x\in[-1,1], \end{array} \right. \] where \(p\geq 2\) is an integer, \(\varphi^p\) is the \(p\)-fold iteration of \(\varphi\), and \(f(x)\) is smooth odd function on \([-1,1]\) and satisfies \(f(0)=0, -1<f^{'}(x)<0, (x\in[-1,1]).\) Using constructive method, the existence of unimodal-even-smooth solutions of the above equation on \([-1,1]\) can be proved.
