If the intervals between each train are constant, the speeds are the same, and both t...
Solution: Let the trains depart from the station ahead and behind Xiao Zhang every $x$ minutes, Xiao Zhang's cycling speed be $v_{1}$, and the train speed be $v_{2}$, then $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} 4\left(v_{1}+v_{2}\right)=x v_{2}, \\ 12\left(v_{2}-v_{1}\right)=x v_{2} . \end{array}\right. $$ Solving, we get $x=6$ (...

A function in itself, and for any $s$ and $t$ in $N$, it satisfies $f\left(t^{2} f(s)\right)=s(f(t))^{2}$.

Solution: For every function $f$ that satisfies the conditions of the problem, it is known that $f\left(t^{2} f(s)\right)=s(f(t))^{2}$. Substituting $t=1$ yields $f(f(s))=s(f(1))^{2}$, and substituting $s=1$ into (1) gives $f\left(t^{2} f(1)\right)=(f(t))^{2}$. Now, let $f(1)=k$, then the above two equations can be rew...
