For positive rational $x$, if $x$ is written in the form $p/q$ with $p, q$ positive relatively prime integers, define $f(x)=p+q$.

If all $x$ which satisfy $f(x)=f(2^nx)$ also satisfy $f(x)=2^n-1$, find all possible values of $n$. [i]Anderson Wang.[/i]

Find all functions $ f: \mathbb{N^{*}}\to \mathbb{N^{*}}$ satisfying \[ \left(f^{2}\left(m\right)+f\left(n\right)\right) \mid \left(m^{2}+n\right)^{2}\] for any two positive integers $ m$ and $ n$.

By $ f^{2}\left(m\right)$, we mean $ \left(f\left(m\right)\right)^{2}$ (and not $ f\left(f\left(m\right)\right)$). [i]Proposed by Mohsen Jamali, Iran[/i]
