Abstract
In this paper we deal with an equation in nonlinear combination of iterates. Although it can be reduced by the logarithm conjugacy to a form for application of Schauder's or Banach's fixed point theorems, a difficulty called Zero Problem is encountered for continuous solutions because the domain does not contain $0$. So we consider solutions with weaker regularity, using the Knaster-Tarski fixed point theorem for complete lattices to give order-preserving solutions. Then we give semi-continuous solutions and integrable solutions.
