Means of iterates

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2018-02-21 v2

Abstract

We determine continuous bijections ff, acting on a real interval into itself, whose kk-fold iterate is the quasi-arithmetic mean of all its subsequent iterates from f0f^0 up to fnf^n (where 0kn0\le k\le n). Namely, we prove that if at most one of the numbers k,nk,n is odd, then such functions consist of at most three affine pieces.
