Suppose that the differentiable functions $a, b, f, g:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ satisfy
\[ f(x)\geq 0, f'(x) \geq 0,g(x)\geq 0, g'(x) \geq 0 \text{ for all } x \in \mathbb{R}, \]
\[\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} a(x)=A\geq 0,\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} b(x)=B\geq 0, \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} f(x)=\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} g(x)=\infty,\]
and
\[\frac{f'(x)}{g'(x)}+a(x)\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=b(x).\]
Prove that $\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\frac{B}{A+1}$.

a) Let $f_1,f_2,\ldots,f_n: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be periodic functions such that the function $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R},$ $f=f_1+f_2+\ldots+f_n$ has finite limit at $\infty.$ Prove that $f$ is constant.

Original in Hungarian; translated with Google translate; polished by myself.
Let $f: [0, \infty) \to [0, \infty)$ be a function that is linear between adjacent integers, and for $n = 0, 1, \dots$ satisfies
$$f(n) = \begin{cases} 0, & \textrm{if }2\mid n,\\4^l + 1, & \textrm{if }2 \nmid n, 4^{l - 1} \leq n < 4^l(l = 1, 2, \dots).\end{cases}$$
Let $f^1(x) = f(x)$, and $f^k(x) = f(f^{k - 1}(x))$ for all integers $k \geq 2$. Determine the values of $\liminf\nolimits_{k\to\infty}f^k(x)$ and $\limsup\nolimits_{k\to\infty}f^k(x)$ for almost all $x \in [0, \infty)$ under Lebesgue measure.
(Not sure whether the last sentence translates correctly; the original:
Határozzuk meg Lebesgue majdnem minden $x\in [0, \infty)$-re a $\liminf\nolimits_{k\to\infty}f^k(x)$ és $\limsup\nolimits_{k\to\infty}f^k(x)$ értékét.)
