 determinant (((f(n)=(n^2 /2))))when n is even  f(n)=(n^2 /2)  f(n)=((n^2 −τ(n))/2)  f(n)+f(f(n))=((n^2 −τ(n))/2)+(((((n^2 −τ(n))/2) )^2 −τ(((n^2 −τ(n))/2)))/2)  =((n^2 −τ(n))/2)+((n^4 −2n^2 τ(n)+τ(n)^2 −4τ(((n^2 −τ(n))/2)))/8)  does not hold  f(n)+f(f(n))=τ(n)n+τ(τ(n)n)∙τ(n)n=n^2   ⇒τ(n)(n+τ(τ(n)n)∙τ(n)n)=n^2   no solution   determinant (((f(n)=n^2 −τ(n)^2 )))  f(n)+f(f(n))=n^2 −τ(n)^2 +(n^2 −τ(n)^2 )^2 −τ(n^2 −τ(n)^2 )^2 =n^2   does not hold   determinant (((f(n)=(n^2 /(1+τ(n))))))  ⇒(n^2 /(1+τ(n)))+((((n^2 /(1+τ(n))))^2 )/(1+τ((n^2 /(1+τ(n))))))=n^2   does not hold   determinant (((f(n)=(n^2 /2) when τ(n)is even,f(n)=((n^2 −1)/2)when τ(n)is odd)))  verify n=2(τ=2even):f(2)=2,f(2)+f(2)=4=2^2   n=4(τ=3odd):f(4)=((16−1)/2)=7.5 not an integer   determinant (((f(n)= { (((n^2 /2) n evem)),((((n^2 −1)/2) n odd)) :})))  n=3:f(3)=4,f(4)=8⇒4+8=12≠9 error   determinant (((f(n)=(n^2 /2) ∀n∈Z^+ )))but only when n=2 holds  final solution must satisfy f(n)+f(f(n))=n^2  and f(n)is related to τ(n)   determinant (((f(n)=n^2 −τ(n))))partially holds e.g.,n=2,f(2)=2,f(f(2))=2 ⇒2+2=4=2^2
