Problem
Determine the continuous functions having the property that
Solution
Inductively we obtain , for any and .
The continuity of and the density of in give , for all and . We get thus the functions defined by , for where the parameter runs over . It is obvious that all these functions verify the hypothesis.

Final answer
All functions f(x) = x + a, where a is any real constant.
