Problem Statement

Find all injective f:Z0Z0f:\mathbb{Z}\ge0 \to \mathbb{Z}\ge0 that for every natural number nn and real numbers a0,a1,...,ana_0,a_1,...,a_n (not everyone equal to 00), polynomial i=0naixi\sum_{i=0}^{n}{a_i x^i} have real root if and only if i=0naixf(i)\sum_{i=0}^{n}{a_i x^{f(i)}} have real root.
