Abstract: | In this paper, we determine all functions ?, defined on a field K (belonging to a certain class) and taking values in an abelian group, such that the quadratic difference ?(x + y) + ?(x ? y) ? 2?(x) ? 2?(y) depends only on the product xy for all x, y ∈ K. Using this result, we find the general solution of the functional equation ?1(x + y) + ?2(x ? y) = ?3(x) + ?4(y) + g(xy). |
