I have the functional equation 
$$ f(x+g(x)y)=f(x)+f(g(0)y)-f(0) $$
where 


* $f$ is positive, monotone increasing and continuous
* $g$ is continuous and positive
* The domain of both functions is a closed interval that includes 0.


The obvious solutions are:


* $g$ constant and $f$ linear
* $f$ constant and $g$ arbitrary.


There is also another solution: 


* $g(x)=x+1$, and $f(x)=ln(x+1)$.


The question is whether there are other solutions? In particular, I am interested in the question: if $g(0)\neq 1$ is $f$ necessarily linear?


Thanks.



Cauchy-like functional equation $f(x+g(x)y)=f(x)+f(g(0)y)-f(0)$
There are other solutions which is similar to your last one. They are: $f(x)=\ln(x+\frac{b}{a})$, and $g(x)=ax+b$ for $a\neq 0$, $b$ constants. I think this answers your question.


And for the general solution, if one assumes both functions are differentiable. There would be no other solutions except what we listed. This can be shown by combining the equation after taking derivative for $y$ (and evaluating at $y=0$), with the equation after taking derivative for $x$.


The precise equations are:$$g(x)f'(x)=g(0)f'(0)=C,$$and $$f'(x+g(x)y)\cdot(1+g'(x)y)=f'(x).$$
Assume $C\neq 0$. For the second equation above, let $t=x+g(x)y$, then $$f'(t)\cdot\left(1+\frac{t-x}{g(x)}g'(x)\right)=f'(x).$$From here, multiplying both sides with $g(x)g(t)$, and use the first equation above, you will get $$g(x)-g(t)=(x-t)g'(x),$$ which means that $g$ is linear!


In the case when $C=0$, the two situations are obtained already by you!
