problem

Determine all functions f f from the set of positive integers to the set of positive integers such that, for all positive integers a a and b b, there exists a non-degenerate triangle with sides of lengths \[ a, f(b) \text{ and } f(b \plus{} f(a) \minus{} 1).\] (A triangle is non-degenerate if its vertices are not collinear.)
