A particular Functional equation
$begingroup$
Bonjour,
Find all continuous functions, $f$, such that $f(x)-1999fbig(frac{2x}{1-x^2}big)=18$ for $|x|neq 1$.
My method: Putting $x=tan{h}, hin]frac{-pi}{2},frac{pi}{2}[ ,hneq pm pi/4$, cooking a little, and end up with a constant function. Is there someone here who can give a different way to handle this stuff?

My proof: taking $x=tan{h}$ leads to:
$f(tan{4h})-f(tan{2h})=frac{1}{1999}(f(tan{2h})-f(tan{h}))$. So by induction: $f(tan{h})-f(tan{frac{h}{2}})=frac{1}{1999^n}(f(tan{frac{h}{2^n}})-f(tan{frac{h}{2^{n+1}}}))$ for $n$ positive. Using continuity and limit we get: $f(tan{h})=f(tan{h/2})$. With same argument as before we end showing that $f(x)=f(0)$. Since $f(0)=-frac{1}{111}$ therefore $f(x)=-frac{1}{111}$
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
Yes and the result is $-1/111$ which of course is the value of $f$
