Abstract

In this sequence of work we investigate polynomial equations of additive functions. We consider the solutions of equation i=1nfi(xpi)gi(x)qi=0(xF), \sum_{i=1}^{n}f_{i}(x^{p_{i}})g_{i}(x)^{q_{i}}= 0 \qquad \left(x\in \mathbb{F}\right), where nn is a positive integer, FC\mathbb{F}\subset \mathbb{C} is a field, fi,gi ⁣:FCf_{i}, g_{i}\colon \mathbb{F}\to \mathbb{C} are additive functions and pi,qip_i, q_i are positive integers for all i=1,,ni=1, \ldots, n. Using the theory of decomposable functions we describe the solutions as compositions of higher order derivations and field homomorphisms. In many cases we also give a tight upper bound for the order of the involved derivations. Moreover, we present the full description of the solutions in some important special cases, too.
