Consider a Hausdorff
σ-compact, locally compact abelian group
G. We are looking for positive almost periodic solutions of the following functional equation:
${\displaystyle f(x)=M_y\left(A\circ f)(xy^{-1})\mu(y)\right], \quad x\in G.}$
In this context
μ is a positive almost periodic measure on
G,
A is a uniformly continuous function on
\({{\mathbb R}}\) and
M y μ(
y)] is the mean of
μ. A more general equation which we investigate is the following
${\displaystyle f(x)=g(x)+\nu*f(x)+M_y\left(A\circ f)(xy^{-1})\mu(y)\right], \quad x\in G,}$
where
g is a positive almost periodic function on
G,
μ a positive almost periodic measure,
ν a positive bounded measure and
A a Lipschitz function.
