Abstract

The main purpose of this work is to provide the general solutions of a class of linear functional equations. Let n2n\geq 2 be an arbitrarily fixed integer, let further XX and YY be linear spaces over the field K\mathbb{K} and let αi,βiK\alpha_{i}, \beta_{i}\in \mathbb{K}, i=1,,ni=1, \ldots, n be arbitrarily fixed constants. We will describe all those functions f,fi,j ⁣:X×YKf, f_{i, j}\colon X\times Y\to \mathbb{K}, i,j=1,,ni, j=1, \ldots, n that fulfill functional equation f(i=1nαixi,i=1nβiyi)=i,j=1nfi,j(xi,yj)(xiX,yiY,i=1,,n). f\left(\sum_{i=1}^n \alpha_i x_i, \sum_{i=1}^n \beta_i y_i\right)= \sum_{i, j=1}^{n}f_{i, j}(x_i, y_j) \qquad \left(x_i \in X, y_i \in Y, i=1, \ldots, n\right). Additionally, necessary and sufficient conditions will also be given that guarantee the solutions to be non-trivial.
