% Version  : [Mat16] axioms : Especial.
% English  : Let f be a real-valued function defined for all real numbers x 
%            such that, for some positive constant a, the equation f(x + a) 
%            = 1/2 + sqrt(f(x) - [f(x)]^2) holds for all x. (a) Prove that the
%            function f is periodic (i.e., there exists a positive number b 
%            such that f(x + b) = f(x) for all x).  (b) For a = 1, give an 
%            example of a non-constant function with the required properties.
