How about d/dx f(x)=the super function of f(x)?
first equation assuming f is not a constant and analytic almost everywhere :
f ' (x) = f(f(x))
f(x) = a x^b
f(f(x)) = a * (a x^b)^b
= a^(b+1) * x^(b^2)
f ' (x) = a b x^(b-1)
so
a^(b+1) x^(b^2) = a b x^(b-1)
b^2 = b - 1
b = (1 +/- sqrt(-3))/2
a^b = b
a = exp(+/- 1/3 6throot(-1) pi)
or a = exp(+/- 5/3 (-1)^5/6 pi )
second equation
analytic f ' (x) usually grows similar to f(x) because
1) log(f(x)) = integral f ' (x)/f(x)
2) For x > 1 and f(x) > 0 ( for x > 0 ) and if f ' (x) > 0 then integral f ' (x) dx from 0 to positive x < x f(x) .
3) superfunctions are not well-defined around multiple fixpoints but rather on strictly increasing regions not having fixpoints.
I think there are no interesting analytic solutions. Or even no analytic ones.
Even the super of polyomial grows much faster than the polynomial , yet the derivative of a polynomial is a polynomial.
Since taylors theorem requires polynomial approximations as do most fixpoint methods I seriously doubt nice solutions.
As for functions not growing fast but staying in a fatou set , those boundaries are usually complicated and fractal , while the function is usually less complicated and fractal like.
