The subject of this paper is the use of the theory of Schwartz distributions and approximate identities in studying the functional equationThe aj’s and b are complex-valued functions defined on a neighbourhood, U, of 0 in Rm, hj. U → Rn with hj(0) = 0 and fj, g: Rn → C for 1 ≦ j ≦ N. In most of what follows the aj's and hj's are assumed smooth and may be thought of as given. The fj‘s, b and g may be thought of as the unknowns. Typically we are concerned with locally integrable functions f1, … , fN such that, for each s in U, (1) holds for a.e. (almost every) x ∈ Rn, in the sense of Lebesgue measure.

Consider the functional equation(1)assumed valid for all real x, y and h. Notice that (1) can be written(2)a difference analogue of the wave equation, if we interpret etc., (i. e. symmetric h differences), and that (1) has an interesting geometric interpretation. The continuous solutions of (1) were found by Sakovič [5].

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.

AbstractThe requirement that the graph of a function be invariant under a linear map is equivalent to a functional equation of f. For area preserving maps M(det (M) = 1), the functional equation is equivalent to an (easily solved) linear one, or to a quadratic one of the formfor all Here 2C = Trace (M). It is shown that (Q) admits continuous solutions ⇔ M has real eigenvalues ⇔ (Q) has linear solutions f(x) = λx ⇔ |C| ≥ 1. For |c| = 1 or C < – 1, (Q) only admits a few simple solutions. For C > 1, (Q) admits a rich supply of continuous solutions. These are parametrised by an arbitrary function, and described in the sense that a construction is given for the graphs of the functions which solve (Q).

For an n-vector x = (xi) and n × n matrix A = (aij) with complex elements, let |x|2 = Σi|xi|2,|A|2 = ΣiΣj|aij|2. Also, M(A), m(A) denoteℜλ1,ℜλn, respectively, where λ1,…,λA are the eigenvalues of A arranged so that ℜλ1 ≥ … ≥ ℜλn. Throughout this paper A(t) denotes a matrix whose elements aij(t) are complex valued Lebesgue integrable functions of t in (0, T) for all T > 0. Then M(A(t)), m(A(t)) are also Lebesgue integrable in (0, T) for all T > 0. The characteristic exponent μ of a non-zero solution x(t) of the n × n system of differential equationscan be defined, following Perron ((12)), aswhere ℒ denotes lim sup as t → + ∞. When |A(t)| is bounded in (0,∞), μ is finite; in other cases it could be ± ∞.

AbstractLet X be a real normed space, Y a Banach space, and f : X → Y. We prove theUlam–Hyers stability theorem for the cubic functional equationin restricted domains. As an application we consider a measure zero stability problem of the inequalityfor all (x, y) in Γ ⸦ ℝ2 of Lebesgue measure 0.

In a recent paper [2] Lambek and Moser have introduced the functional equations1and2in connection with some problems of number theory, in particular in dealing with the sums by pairs of sets of integers. The second may be put into the same form as (1) by the substitutions x = In z, f(ln z) = F(z), h(ln z) = H(z).

Let $S$ be a semigroup possibly with no identity and $f:S\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$. We consider the general superstability of the exponential functional equation with a perturbation $\unicode[STIX]{x1D713}$ of mixed variables $$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle |f(x+y)-f(x)f(y)|\leq \unicode[STIX]{x1D713}(x,y)\quad \text{for all }x,y\in S. & & \displaystyle \nonumber\end{eqnarray}$$ In particular, if $S$ is a uniquely $2$-divisible semigroup with an identity, we obtain the general superstability of Lobačevskiǐ’s functional equation with perturbation $\unicode[STIX]{x1D713}$$$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle \biggl|f\biggl(\frac{x+y}{2}\biggr)^{2}-f(x)f(y)\biggr|\leq \unicode[STIX]{x1D713}(x,y)\quad \text{for all }x,y\in S. & & \displaystyle \nonumber\end{eqnarray}$$

AbstractWe investigate the Pexider-type functional equation where f, g, h are real functions defined on an abelian group G. We solve this equation under the assumptions G=ℝ and f is continuous.

In a previous paper [1] J. Aczél has shown the following Theorem 1. If in the (closed, half-closed or open, finite or infinite) interval 〈A, B〉and there f, F are there, f F are continuous, F intern (the value F(x, y) lies strictly between x and y) and u → H(u, v, x, y) or v → H(u, v, x, y) are injective (i.e. or , then the functional equation (*) with the initial conditionshas at most one solution.
