In this we will study analytic solutions to the linear functional equation where f and h are given functions, x is a given complex number and the function g is to be found. This is a generalization of Schröder's functional equation. The results obtained are global in nature and the solutions holomorphic. The equation will be viewed from the standpoint of linear operator theory. When studied in this manner one arrives at a general operator inversion formula.
