Abstract

In 2014, Michal Lewicki and Andrzej Olbry\'s proved that if a real valued function ff defined on the real line satisfies the conditional functional equation f(tx+(1t)y)=tf(x)+(1t)f(y),xy, f(tx + (1-t)y) = t f(x) + (1-t) f(y),\qquad x\leq y, called non-symmetrically tt-affine, then it is tt-affine. That is, they concluded that ff must fulfill the above equality without any restriction on xx and yy. In the current study, first we show that the above conditional equation implies that the function in question is locally tt-affine. Then we derive tt-affinity on open intervals. Finally, we formulate our main result, which generalizes the theorem of Lewicki and Olbry\'s for any subinterval of R\mathbb{R}.
