We will study the solutions to the equation $f(n) - g(n) = c$, where $f$ and $g$ are multiplicative functions and $c$ is a constant. More precisely, we prove that the number of solutions does not exceed $c^{1-\epsilon}$ when $f, g$ and…
The main goal of this paper is to show that if a real valued function defined on a groupoid satisfies a certain Levi--Civita-type functional equation, then it also fulfills a Cauchy--Schwarz-type functional inequality. In particular, if the…
A noncommutative (nc) function in $x_1,\dots,x_g,x_1^*,\dots,x_g$ is called plurisubharmonic (plush) if its nc complex Hessian takes only positive semidefinite values on an nc neighborhood of 0. The main result of this paper shows that an…
Let $\Delta_x f(x,y)=f(x+1,y)-f(x,y)$ and $\Delta_y f(x,y)=f(x,y+1)-f(x,y)$ be the difference operators with respect to $x$ and $y$. A rational function $f(x,y)$ is called summable if there exist rational functions $g(x,y)$ and $h(x,y)$…
In this paper, we introduce formal sine functions whose coefficients are elements of a generalized harmonic algebra and investigate their properties corresponding to the classical addition formula and Pythagorean theorem. By taking their…
In a recent paper we introduced sine functions on commutative hypergroups. These functions are natural generalizations of those functions on groups which are products of additive and multiplicative homomorphisms. In this paper we describe…
We determine all F,G in C[X] of degree at least 2 for which the semigroup generated by F and G under composition is not the free semigroup on the letters F and G. We also solve the same problem for F,G in X^2 C[[X]], and prove partial…
We study a certain class $\mathcal{P}$ of positive linear functionals $\varphi$ on $L^{\infty}([1,\infty))$ for which $\varphi(f) = \alpha$ if $\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{x} \int_1^x f(t)dt = \alpha$. It turns out that translations $f(x)…
The purpose of the present paper is to solve (under some assumption on the domain) the equation $$ g(x+y)-g(x)-g(y)=xf(y)+yf(x). $$ After determining the general solutions, we will investigate the so--called alien solutions. %More…
The Leah-Hamiltonian, $H(x,y)=y^2/2+3x^{4/3}/4$, is introduced as a functional equation for $x(t)$ and $y(t)$. By means of a nonlinear transformation to new independent variables, we show that this functional equation has a special class of…
In this article, we develop nested representations for cosine and inverse cosine functions, which is a generalization of Vi\`{e}te's formula for $\pi$. We explore a natural inverse relationship between these representations and develop…
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…
In this short note, we introduce probabilistic Cauchy functional equations, specifically, functional equations of the following form: $$ f(X_1 + X_2) \stackrel{d}{=} f(X_1) + f(X_2), $$ where $X_1$ and $X_2$ represent two independent…
This is the second of three sequels to arXiv1407.4089 -- the third of the resulting quartet -- concerning the real-valued continuous solutions of the multivariate Goldie functional equation (GFE) below of Levi-Civita type. Following on from…
We solve the equation $f(x,y)^3 + g(x,y)^3 = x^3 + y^3$ for homogeneous $f, g \in \mathbb C(x,y)$, completing an investigation begun by Vi\`ete in 1591. The usual addition law for elliptic curves and composition give rise to two binary…
In this paper, we define finitely additive, probability and modular functions over semiring-like structures. We investigate finitely additive functions with the help of complemented elements of a semiring. We also generalize some classical…
In the present paper we give the general solution of the functional equation $$ (f(x)+g(y)+h(z))^2 = F(x)+G(y)+H(z), x+y+z=0 $$ which is related to the exact factorized ground-state wave function for the quantum one-dimensional problem of…
In the paper, the equivalence of the functional inequality $$\|2f(x)+f(y)+f(-y)-f(x-y)\|\leq\|f(x+y)\|\;\;\;(x,y\in{G})$$ and the Drygas functional equation $$f(x+y)+f(x-y)=2f(x)+f(y)+f(-y)\;\;\;(x,y\in{G})$$ is proved for functions…
We introduce the space function $s(n)$ of a finitely presented semigroup $S =<A\mid R>.$ To define $s(n)$ we consider pairs of words $w,w'$ over $A$ of length at most $n$ equal in $S$ and use relations from $R$ for the transformations…
Suppose that $\alpha \in (0,2)$ and that $X$ is an $\alpha$-stable-like process on $\R^d$. Let $F$ be a function on $\R^d$ belonging to the class $\bf{J_{d,\alpha}}$ (see Introduction) and $A_{t}^{F}$ be $\sum_{s \le t}F(X_{s-},X_{s}), t>…
