More about Wilson's functional equation (Q2182697): Difference between revisions

The author investigates generalizations of the d'Alembert's functional equation \(g(x+y)+g(x-y)=2g(x)g(y)\), the exponential-cosine functional equation \(g(x+y)+e^{\lambda y}g(x-y)=2g(x)g(y)\) and the Wilson's functional equation \(f(x+y)+f(x-y)=2f(x)g(y)\), in which the domain of definition of the unknown functions \(f\) and \(g\) is a monoid \(M\) and the exponential function \(e^{\lambda y}\) is replaced by a multiplicative function \(\mu:M\to\mathbb{C}^*\). The author introduces some conditions under which if one of the functions \(f\) and \(g\) is abelian, then so is the other.
