Abstract
We are looking for local analytic respectively formal solutions of the generalized Dhombres functional equation \({f(zf(z))=\varphi(f(z))}\) in the complex domain. First we give two proofs of the existence theorem about solutions f with f(0) = w 0 and \({w_0 \in \mathbb{C}^\star {\setminus}\mathbb{E}}\) where \({\mathbb{E}}\) denotes the group of complex roots of 1. Afterwards we represent solutions f by means of infinite products where we use on the one hand the canonical convergence of complex analysis, on the other hand we show how solutions converge with respect to the weak topology. In this section we also study solutions where the initial value z 0 is different from zero.
