Brilliant Number theoretical Functional Equations

Define a function f : Z { 1 , 2 , . . . , 2017 } f : \mathbb{Z} \rightarrow \{1,2,...,2017 \} to be brilliant if for any integer n n where 1 n 2016 1 \leq n \leq 2016 there exists a certain integer p ( n ) p(n) so that we have:

f ( m + p ( n ) ) f ( m + n ) f ( m ) ( m o d 2018 ) f(m + p(n)) \equiv f(m +n) - f(m) \pmod{2018}

Find the number of brilliant functions.

Details and assumptions - 2017 is prime. - This is not an original problem. This has been modified from a competition problem whose source I have forgotten.


The answer is 4066272.
