In this note we describe solutions of the equation: $F(A(z))=G(B(z)),$ where $A,B$ are polynomials and $F,G$ are continuous functions on the Riemann sphere.

Given a semigroup $S$ generated by its squares, we determine the complex-valued solutions of the following system of cosine-sine functional equations \begin{align*} f(xy)=f(x)g_{1}(y)+g_{1}(x)f(y)+\lambda_{1}^{2}\,h(x)h(y),\; x,y\in S,\\…

In this paper, we investigate the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the following reciprocal type functional equation \begin{equation*}f(2x+y)+f(2x-y)=\frac{2f(x)f(y)\displaystyle{\sum_{\substack{k=0\\ \text{$k$ is even}}}^{…

In this paper functions $f:D\to\mathbb{R}$ satisfying the inequality \[ f\Big(\frac{x+y}{2}\Big)\leq\frac12f(x)+\frac12f(y) +\varphi\Big(\frac{x-y}{2}\Big) \qquad(x,y\in D) \] are studied, where $D$ is a nonempty convex subset of a real…

We consider Hyers-Ulam stability of a functional equation for continuous functions on a space on which a topological group acts, analogous to the additive functional equation on a group. We show, among other things, that our generalized…

Consider the differential equation $y'=F(x,y)$. We determine the weakest possible upper bound on $|F(x,y)-F(x,z)|$ which guarantees that this equation has for all initial values a unique solution, which exists globally.

Two natural extensions of Jensen's functional equation on the real line are the equations $f(xy)+f(xy^{-1}) = 2f(x)$ and $f(xy)+f(y^{-1}x) = 2f(x)$, where $f$ is a map from a multiplicative group $G$ into an abelian additive group $H$. In a…

We consider the $\alpha$-sine transform of the form $T_\alpha f(y)=\int_0^\infty\vert\sin(xy)\vert^\alpha f(x)dx$ for $\alpha>-1$, where $f$ is an integrable function on $\mathbb{R}_+$. First, the inversion of this transform for $\alpha>1$…

In this paper, we study the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of Euler-Lagrange type cubic functional equation of the form \begin{align*} 2mf(x + my) + 2f(mx - y) = (m^3 + m)[f(x+ y) + f(x - y)] + 2(m^4 - 1)f(y) \end{align*} for all $x,y \in…

Using the fixed point alternative theorem we establish the orthogonal stability of quadratic functional equation of Pexider type $f(x+y)+g(x-y)=h(x)+k(y)$, where $f, g, h, k$ are mappings from a symmetric orthogonality space to a Banach…

Here is one of the results of this paper (with the convention ${{1}\over {0}}=+\infty$): Let $X$ be a real Hilbert space and let $J:X\to {\bf R}$ be a $C^1$ functional, with compact derivative, such that $$\alpha^*:=\max\left…

We consider the linear Wigner-Fokker-Planck equation subject to confining potentials which are smooth perturbations of the harmonic oscillator potential. For a certain class of perturbations we prove that the equation admits a unique…

We study the problem of correct solvability in the space $L_p(\mathbb R),$ $p\in[1,\infty)$ of the equation $$ -(r(x) y'(x))'+q(x)y(x)=f(x),\quad x\in \mathbb R $$ under the conditions $$r>0,\quad q\ge 0,\quad \frac{1}{r}\in L_1(\mathbb…

In this article we show a tecnique based on the Weierstrass product for the sine and cosine function and the bisection formula for the cotangent function that leads to a generalization of the classical Shafer-Fink inequality $ \frac{3…

In quantum theory, symmetry has to be defined necessarily in terms of the family of unit rays, the state space. The theorem of Wigner asserts that a symmetry so defined at the level of rays can always be lifted into a linear unitary or an…

The leading idea of the paper is to treat the theorem of Wigner with methods inspired by geometry. The exercise mentionned in the title has two functions: On the one hand it can serve as a pedagogical text in order to make the reader…

There are quantum states of light that can be expressed as finite superpositions of Fock states (FSFS). We demonstrate the nonclassicality of an arbitrary FSFS by means of its phase space distributions such as the Wigner function and the…
