Dear Tim,

I also assume that V must be continuous over some region.

I might propose:
               v(x,y)=x*sin(2*Pi*x/a)+a*(1-sin(2*Pi*x/a))*y/c , (1)
In fact a general solution is :
               v(x,y)=K*x+(1-K)*a*y/c ;                         (2)
K is a constant or invariant for {x->x+a} ,{y->y+c},{x->x+a;y->y+c},

MY METHOD:
        when {x->x+v(a,c),y->y+c}  , function v(x,y)/v(a,c)-> ( )+1
         i.e  (+1) incremented ,

Alain.
