INMO 2021 Problem 6

    Let R[x]\mathbb{R}[x] be the set of all polynomials with real coefficients, and let deg⁡P\operatorname{deg} P denote the degree of a nonzero polynomial PP. Find all functions f:R[x]→R[x]f: \mathbb{R}[x] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}[x] satisfying the following conditions:

    • ff maps the zero polynomial to itself,
    • for any non-zero polynomial P∈R[x]P \in \mathbb{R}[x], deg⁡f(P)≤1+deg⁡P\operatorname{deg} f(P) \leq 1+\operatorname{deg} P, and
    • for any two polynomials P,Q∈R[x]P, Q \in \mathbb{R}[x], the polynomials P−f(Q)P-f(Q) and Q−f(P)Q-f(P) have the same set of real roots.
