There are situations, in the sciences or in mathematics, when the researcher’s intuition about a phenomenon leads to an equation involving one or more unknown functions. This may happen at the early stage of the investigation, when the scientist is reluctant to make specific assumptions about the form of the functions. However, the equations themselves, or some side conditions, may sometimes reduce the possibilities. The field of mathematics dealing with such derivations is called
functional equations
