The following result is well known in the theory of analytic functions; see [1].Theorem A. Suppose that f(z) is an entire function of a complex variable z. Then f(z) satisfies the functional equationwhere z = x + iy (x, y real), if and only if f(z) = aexp(sz), where a is an arbitrary complex constant and s is an arbitrary real constant.

In previous papers (see [1, 2, 3, 4]), we solved the following functional equation:1wheref=f(z) is an entire function of a complex variable z and x, y are complex variables.

We consider the Abelian functional equationwhere φ is a given entire function and g is to be found. The inverse function f = g−1 (if one exists) must satisfyWe show that for a wide class of entire functions, which includes φ(z) = ez − 1, the latter equation has a non-constant entire solution.

The study of modular forms has been deeply influenced by famous conjectures and hypotheses concerningwhere T(n) denotes Ramanujan's function. The fundamental discriminant Δ is a cusp form of weight 12 with respect to the modular group. Its associated Dirichlet seriesdefines an entire function of s and satisfies the functional equationThe most penetrating statements that have been made on T(n) and LΔ(s)are:Of these four problems only A1 has been established so far. This was done by Deligne [1] using methods from algebraic geometry and number theory. While B1 trivially holds with ε > 1/2, it was established in [2] for every ε>1/3. Serre [12] proved A2 for a positive proportion of the integers and Hafner [5] showed that LΔ has a positive proportion of its non-trivial zeros on the line σ=6. The proofs of the last three results are largely analytic in nature.

Let U be the class of all normalized analytic functionswhere z ∈ E = {z : |z| < 1} and ƒ is univalent in E. Let K denote the sub-class of U consisting of those members that map E onto a convex domain. MacGregor [2] showed that if ƒ1 ∈ K and ƒ2 ∈ K and if1then F ∉ K when λ is real and 0 < λ < 1, and the radius of univalency and starlikeness for F is .In this paper, we examine the expression (1) when ƒ1 ∈ K, ƒ2 ∈ K and λ is a complex constant and find the radius of starlikeness for such a linear combination of complex functions with complex coefficients.

The theory of solutions of partial differential equations (1.1) with analytic coefficients can be based upon the theory of analytic functions of a complex variable; the basic tool in this approach is integral operators which map the set of solutions of (1.1) onto the algebra of analytic functions. For certain classes of operators this mapping which is first defined in the small, can be continued to the large, cf. Bergman (3).

1. Letand denote by Aδ the class of functions f analytic in the strip Sδ = {z = x + iy| |y| < δ}, real on the real axis, and satisfying |Ref(z)| ≤ 1,z∊Sδ. Then N.I. Achieser ([1], pp. 214–219; [8], pp. 137–8, 149) proved that each f∊Aδ can be uniformly approximated on the whole real axis by an entire function fc of exponential type at most c with an errorwhere ∥·∥∞ is the sup norm on ℝ. Furthermore ([7], pp. 196–201), if f∊Aδ is 2π-periodic, then the uniform approximation Ẽn (Aδ) of the class Aδ by trigonometric polynomials of degree at most n is given by

It is known [3], [5] that, the complex-valued solutions of(B)(apart from the trivial solution f(x)≡0) are of the form(C)(D)In case f is a measurable solution of (B), then f is continuous [2], [3] and the corresponding ϕ in (C) is also continuous and ϕ is of the form [1],(E)In this paper, the functional equation(P)where f is a complex-valued, measurable function of the real variable and A≠0 is a real constant, is considered. It is shown that f is continuous and that (apart from the trivial solutions f ≡ 0, 1), the only functions which satisfy (P) are the cosine functions cos ax and - cos bx, where a and b belong to a denumerable set of real numbers.
