Abstract
Exponential functions can be characterized as the entire solutions to the functional equation
(where a and b are constants),i.e. f(x)=Cb x/a. We ask ourselves what happens to the solution if we replace the product on the right-hand side by an exponentiation. Because exponentiation is not commutative, there are at least two ways of doing this. One way leads to the equation
