Well, for me the following assertions need to be proved.
- Do the coefficients in Andrew's solution converge?
- Do the series made up of this coefficients converge? What is the convergence radius?
- Does the natural development at every point define the same analytic function? Is the piecewise defined function analytic?
- Is Andrew's solution for bases\( b\le e^{1/e} \) identical with the solution obtained by regular development at the lower fixed point?
- Is the solution analytic with respect to the base as argument (especially at the base \( b=e^{1/e} \))?
I call it Andrew's solution merely to give it a common name, though the idea was published before him by Peter Walker.
