What type of differential equation is $f'(x) = f(x/2)$ and how do you solve it?

Notice

$${f'(x)=f\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)\Leftrightarrow f''(x) = \frac{1}{2}f'\left(\frac{x}{2}\right), f'''(x)=\frac{1}{2^2}f''\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}$$

Plugging in some numbers we get ${f(0) = 10, f'(0) = 10, f''(0) = \frac{10}{2}, f'''(0) = \frac{1}{2^2}\left(\frac{10}{2}\right)=\frac{10}{2^3},f''''(0) = \frac{10}{2^6}}$... In general we see

$${f^{(n)}(0)=\frac{10}{2^{\left(\frac{n(n-1)}{2}\right)}}}$$

And now we can create a power series solution using a taylor series centered around $0$:

$${f(x)=10 + \sum_{n\geq 1}\frac{10x^n}{2^{\left(\frac{n(n-1)}{2}\right)}n!}}$$

If you let: $x=2^t$ then remember we have: $dx=\ln(2)2^tdt$ and our original equation is: $$\frac{df(x)}{dx}-f(x/2)=0$$ so plugging in we get: $$\frac{1}{2^t\ln(t)}\frac{df(2^t)}{dt}-f(2^{t-1})=0$$ or we could write it as: $$\frac{df(2^t)}{f(2^{t-1})}=2^t\ln(t)dt$$ $$\int\frac{df(2^t)}{f(2^{t-1})}=2^t+C$$ I would assume the best way to approach this would be to assume that: $$f(2^{t-1})=f(2^t)g(2^t)$$ or something like this
