ca.analysis and odes - How to find a solution to a particular Bottcher equation

Functional equations of the form f(g(x))=(f(x))p, where g(x) is known, is called Bottcher equation. Generally, we have only asymptotic formula for the solution f(x) under certain conditions. In one of my study, I come across the following problem,



How to find a nontrivial (i.e., nonconstant) function f(x)inCinfty(0,+infty) satisfying the following functional equation f(frac2x3+a3x2)=f(x)2, where a>0 is a constant.



Or can you tell me finding a explicit form for f(x) is impossible?
