# Solution of certain equations

I have an equation of the form:

$$f(s)=g(s) \cdot \exp(ih(s)) \cdot f(b-s), \qquad (b \in \mathbb{R}, s \in \mathbb{C})$$

where $f:\mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}$, $g(s)>0$, $h(s) \in (-\pi,\pi]$.

We can prove that if $h(s) \neq 0$ then $f(s)=0$, $f(b-s)=0$ (I know that if $f(s)=0$ then $f(b-s)=0$). However the case $h(s)=0$ does not imply this case directely. But we can see also that we can have $f(s)=0$, $f(b-s)=0$ if $h(s)=0$.

(a) My question is how to deal with the case when $h(s)=0$.

(b) How I can solve this functional equation: $g(1-s)g(s)=1$ with respect to $g$ for all $s$.

If $g(s)>0$ and $h(s)\in(-\pi,\pi]$, shouldn't the codomain of $g$ and $h$ be $\mathbb R$? Also, is the equation supposed to be true for all $s\in\mathbb C$ and all $b\in\mathbb R$, or for all $s$ and a particular $b$, or what? –  Rahul Dec 30 '12 at 13:06
Yes, Done. The equation hlods for all $s$ and some $b$ including $b=1$. I am searching for the roots of $f(s)=0$ when $b=1$. –  ZE1 Dec 30 '12 at 13:14
