But that might be so easy. Plot says that f[InverseFunction[#1 - f[#1] &][t]] - InverseFunction[#1 - f[#1] &][t] == -t for the several different functions f that I tried. Here's f@t:=Sin[4t] <http://gosper.org/crazysinx-x.png>. (The gold overprinted the blue.) How can those two subexpressions plot so crazily, yet differ merely by the identity function? It's hard not to suspect Mathematica of malfeasance. Strangely methodical malfeasance. Regardless of the vibrations, does anyone understand this identity? Does anyone understand the vibrations? —rwg PS, did everyone (but me) get my (almost trivial) solution to c[0]:=0, c[n+1] = 2 + √c[n] ?
