Motivated by the Maximum Theorem for convex functions (in the setting of linear spaces) and for subadditive functions (in the setting of Abelian semigroups), we establish a Maximum Theorem for the class of generalized convex functions,…

In this paper we find the solutions of the functional equation $$f(xy) = g(x)h(y) + \sum_{j=1}^n g_j(x)h_j(y), \;x,y \in M,$$ where $M$ is a monoid, $n\geq 2$, and $g_j$ (for $j=1,...,n$) are linear combinations of at least $2$ distinct…

There is a contrast between the two sets of functional equations f_0(x+y) = f_0(x)f_0(y) + f_1(x)f_1(y), f_1(x+y) = f_1(x)f_0(y) + f_0(x)f_1(y), and f_0(x-y) = f_0(x)f_0(y) - f_1(x)f_1(y), f_1(x-y) = f_1(x)f_0(y) - f_0(x)f_1(y) satisfied by…

We consider Aichinger's equation $$f(x_1+\cdots+x_{m+1})=\sum_{i=1}^{m+1}g_i(x_1,x_2,\cdots, \widehat{x_i},\cdots, x_{m+1})$$ for functions defined on commutative semigroups which take values on commutative groups. The solutions of this…

In this paper we determine the solutions $(\varphi,f_1,f_2)$ of the Pexider functional equation \[\varphi\Big(\frac{x+y}2\Big)\big(f_1(x)-f_2(y)\big)=0,\qquad (x,y)\in I_1\times I_2,\] where $I_1$ and $I_2$ are nonempty open subintervals.…

We determine the complex-valued solutions of the following functional equation \[f(xy)+\mu (y)f(\sigma (y)x) = 2f(x)g(y),\quad x,y\in S,\] where $S$ is a semigroup and $\sigma$ an automorphism, $\mu :S\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ is a…

In this paper we investigate the generalized Hyers- Ulam stability of the functional equation $$f (2x +y)+f (2x -y)= f (x + y)+ f (x -y)+2f (2x)-2f (x)$$ in fuzzy Banach spaces.

Wigner's theorem asserts that any symmetry of a quantum system is unitary or antiunitary. In this short note we give two proofs based on the geometry of the Fubini-Study metric.

We establish several sum-product estimates over finite fields that involve polynomials and rational functions. First, |f(A)+f(A)|+|AA| is substantially larger than |A| for an arbitrary polynomial f over F_p. Second, a characterization is…

We study the functional equation \[ \sum_{i=1}^mf_i(b_ix+c_iy)= \sum_{k=1}^nu_k(y)v_k(x) \] with $x,y\in\mathbb{R}^d$ and $b_i,c_i\in {GL}(d,\mathbb{R})$, both in the classical context of continuous complex-valued functions and in the…

Given a semigroup $S$ generated by its squares equipped with an involutive automorphism $\sigma$ and a multiplicative function $\mu:S\to\mathbb{C}$ such that $\mu(x\sigma(x))=1$ for all $x\in S$, we determine the complex-valued solutions of…

We look at explicit ways to bring one or two antiunitary symmetries into a standard form via unitary conjugation. We carefully reproduce Wigner's proof in two special cases, where the antiunitary operators square to $+I$, or to $-I$.…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group, and let $K$ be a compact subgroup of $G$. Let $\mu : G\longrightarrow\mathbb{C}\backslash\{0\}$ be a character of $G$. In this paper, we deal with the integral equations $$W_{\mu}(K):\;…

This paper offers a solution of the functional equation $$ \big(tf(x)+(1-t)f(y)\big)\varphi(tx+(1-t)y)=tf(x)\varphi(x)+(1-t)f(y)\varphi(y) \qquad(x,y\in I), $$ where $t\in\,]0,1[\,$ is a fixed number, $\varphi:I\to\mathbb{R}$ is strictly…

We propose the another, in principe nonperturbative, method of the evaluation of the Wiener functional integral for $\phi^4$ term in the action. All infinite summations in the results are proven to be convergent. We finf the "generalized"…

We say that a mapping $f: X \rightarrow Y$ between two real normed spaces is a phase-isometry if it satisfies the functional equation \begin{eqnarray*} \{\|f(x)+f(y)\|, \|f(x)-f(y)\|\}=\{\|x+y\|, \|x-y\|\} \quad (x,y\in X).\end{eqnarray*} A…

In view of the role of reaction equations in physical problems, the authors derive the explicit solution of a fractional reaction equation of general character, that unifies and extends earlier results. Further, an alternative shorter…

For a field $\mathbb{F}$, what are all functions $f \colon \mathbb{F} \rightarrow \mathbb{F}$ that satisfy the functional equation $f \left( (x+y)/(x-y) \right) = (f(x) + f(y))/(f(x) - f(y))$ for all $ x \neq y$ in $\mathbb{F}$? We solve…
