2015-23 Fixed points

Let \(f:[0,1)\to[0,1)\)  be a function such that \[ f(x)=\begin{cases} 2x,&\text{if }0\le 2x\lt 1,\\ 2x-1, & \text{if } 1\le 2x\lt 2.\end{cases}\] Find all \(x\) such that \[ f(f(f(f(f(f(f(x)))))))=x.\]

Solution: 2015-21 Differentiable function

Assume that a function \( f : (0, 1) \to [0, \infty) \) satisfies \( f(x) = 0 \) at all but countably many points \( x_1, x_2, \cdots \). Let \( y_n = f(x_n) \). Prove that, if \( \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} y_n < \infty \), then \( f \) is differentiable at some point.
