Problem Statement

Find all functions f f defined on non-negative real numbers having the following properties: (i) For all non-negative x x it is f(x)0 f(x) \geq 0. (ii) It is f\left(1\right)\equal{}\frac 12. (iii) For all non-negative numbers x,y x,y it is f\left( y \cdot f(x) \right) \cdot f(x) \equal{} f(x\plus{}y).
