Form of function over interval

I know y is a function of x [i.e. y=f\left(x\right)]
with two known boundary conditions, that is f\left(x=A\right)=C
and f\left(x=B\right)=D where C and D are known constants
(please see figure). I do not know the form of this function and therefore
I am trying to find the form of y as a function of x over the
whole interval A<x<B. I have an additional condition that is if
I discretize the interval I can obtain the folowing relation

g(A,c)=g(c,d)=g(d,e)=g(e,B)=E

where g is a known function of the given arguments and E is
a known constant. I think this problem can be solved by using the
variational principle possibly with the use of Lagrange multipliers.
I did some initial attempts but I am not sure about the results. Can
you suggest a method (variational or not) that can solve this problem
so that we can obtain the form of y as a function of x over
the whole interval.

Many thanks in advance!

I should have added

g(A,B)=g(A,c)=g(c,d)=g(d,e)=g(e,B)=E
 
You need to describe the relationship between f and g.
 
I made a mistake in the problem description. The additional condition is:

g(y(A),y(B))=g(y(A),y(c))=g(y(c),y(d))=g(y(d),y(e))=g(y(e),y(B))=E

Sorry about this!
