Define the function $x(t)$ for $t\ge0$: $$ x(0)=1\\ x'(t)=-x(t/2) $$ I could do a power series from $t=0$ like this (thanks to @JeanMarie for pointing this old question out), but I ultimately want asymptotic bounds on the excursions as $t\to\infty$, so I don't think the power series helps. Is there any other research on this function? How quickly do these excursions grow with $t$?

See as well the excellent answer by Robert Israel here – Jean Marie May 22 '21 at 17:23

It is not a delay differential equation : it should have a term $f(t-a)$ for that... – Jean Marie May 22 '21 at 17:25

@JeanMarie Only this question is relevant, but the power series answer (modified for the important -1 in my equation) does not help me find the asymptotic bounds I want. – bobuhito May 22 '21 at 18:09

If you take the Laplace Transform with ${\frak L}(f)=F$, $F$ must verify the functional equation $sF(s)+1=-2F(2s)$. Is there a solution ? – Jean Marie May 22 '21 at 20:55
