Abstract:Consider $ a_1,dots,a_ninmathbb{R}$ arbitrary elements. We characterize those functions $ f:mathbb{R}tomathbb{R}$ that decompose into the sum of $ a_j$-periodic functions, i.e., $ f=f_1+cdots+f_n$ with $ Delta_{a_j}f(x):=f(x+a_j)-f(x)=0$. We show that $ f$ has such a decomposition if and only if for all partitions $ B_1cup B_2cupcdots cup B_N={a_1,dots,a_n}$ with $ B_j$ consisting of commensurable elements with least common multiples $ b_j$ one has $ Delta_{{b_1}}dots Delta_{{b_N}}f=0$.

Actually, we prove a more general result for periodic decompositions of functions $ f:mathcal{A}tomathbb{R}$ defined on an Abelian group $ mathcal{A}$; in fact, we even consider invariant decompositions of functions $ f:Atomathbb{R}$ with respect to commuting, invertible self-mappings of some abstract set $ A$.

We also extend our results to functions between torsion free Abelian groups. As a corollary we also obtain that on a torsion free Abelian group the existence of a real-valued periodic decomposition of an integer-valued function implies the existence of an integer-valued periodic decomposition with the same periods.
