Can someone give me some tips and techniques for problems that ask to find continuous functions that verify a functional equation. This is a new type of problems for me. The only thing I know is to give x and y some trivial values and try finding a new function so I can rewrite the functional equation. Then I hope for Cauchy functional equations type or for some iterative way to solve the equation using limits and the continuity. How you guys usually do this type of problems? What techniques are you using?
