# Problem on functions

Let f:R+ --> R be defined as f(x)=x + (1/x) -$$\lfloor$$ x + (1/x) $$\rfloor$$. It is required to prove that there are infintely many rational numbers u so that

$$\bullet\, 0<u<1,$$

$$\bullet\, u,\,f(u),\, f(f(u)) \:are\: all\: distinct,\: and$$

$$\bullet\, f(f(u))= \,f(f(f(u)))$$
