I see a graph of a function equation in the title page of this book, but the specific drawing method is not given in the book. I want to know how to solve this function equation and draw its image:

$$f(x)+f(2x)+f(3x)=0$$

  • An even function.
  • Arbitrary definition ( quite old "try and error" method ) in an interval.
  • Other values are found with the recurrence. \begin{align} \mbox{Namely,}\quad\mrm{f}\pars{x} & = \left\{\begin{array}{lcl} \ds{\phantom{-}\mrm{f}\pars{-x}} & \mbox{if} & \ds{x < 0} \\[2mm] \ds{\phantom{-}x\sin\pars{63x^{1/7}}} & \mbox{if} & \ds{0 \leq x \leq 1} \\[2mm] \ds{-\,\mrm{f}\pars{x \over 3} - \mrm{f}\pars{2x \over 3}}&&\mbox{otherwise} \end{array}\right. \end{align} $\ds{\large\underline{\mbox{The Result}}}:$
