Let $ g : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function such that $ x+g(x)$ is strictly monotone (increasing or decreasing), and let $ u : [0,\infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a bounded and continuous function such that \[ u(t)+ \int_{t-1}^tg(u(s))ds\] is constant on $ [1,\infty)$. Prove that the limit $ \lim_{t\rightarrow \infty} u(t)$ exists. [i]T. Krisztin[/i]

Find all functions $f: (1,\infty)\text{to R}$ satisfying $f(x)-f(y)=(y-x)f(xy)$ for all $x,y>1$. [hide="hint"]you may try to find $f(x^5)$ by two ways and then continue the solution. I have also solved by using this method.By finding $f(x^5)$ in two ways I found that $f(x)=xf(x^2)$ for all $x>1$.[/hide]
