Find all functions satisfy an equality












0












$begingroup$


The question: Find all functions $f$ defined over $mathbb{R}$ satisfying the equality: $forall x,y in mathbb{R}$ $$f(y - f(x)) = f(x^{2002} - y) - 2001y f(x)$$



How do I approach (any hints) to solve the problem above?

          Set $y=f(x)$ so $f(0)=f(x^{2002}-f(x))-2001f(x)^2$. Set $y=x^{2002}$ to get $f(x^{2002}-f(x))=f(0)-2001x^{2002}f(x)=f(x^{2002}-f(x))-2001f(x)^2-2001x^{2002}f(x)$ and therefore $2001f(x)^2+2001x^{2002}f(x)=0$. Can you continue from here?
