What $f(x)$ functions satisfy the following: $$f(x+y)-f(x)=g(y)f'(x)$$ I know this is satisfied for $f(x)=c_1+c_2 e^{c_3 x}$. Note that $f(x+y)-f(x)=(e^{c3 y}-1) c_2 e^{c_3 x}$, and that $f'(x)=c_2 e^{c_3 x}$. Thus in this case $g(y)=(e^{c3 y}-1)$.
My question is, is this the only function for which the above holds?
Differentiate the equality with respect to $y$, and you get that $$f'(x+y)=g'(y)f'(x),$$ so that $$\frac{f'(x+y)}{f'(x)}=g'(y).$$ The left hand side is thus independent of $x$. It's derivative with respect to $x$ is thus zero, so $$\frac{f''(x+y)f'(x)-f''(x)f'(x+y)}{f''(x)^2}=0$$ or just $$f''(x+y)f'(x)-f''(x)f'(x+y)=0.$$ This is true for all $x$ an $y$, so we can put $x=0$ to see that $$f''(y)f'(0)-f''(0)f'(y)=0.$$ We thus see that $f$ satisfies a second order linear differential equation with constant coefficients, which we can solve.
One has to take care of the possibility that $f'(x)$ is zero at some point, though.
But if $f'(x_0)=0$ for some $x_0$, then $f(x)-f(x_0)=g(x-x_0)f'(x_0)=0$ for all $x$, so $f$ is constant.
