The twenty-first International Symposium on Functional Equations, August 6 -- August 13, 1983, Konolfingen, Switzerland (Q1059229)

This collection contains the abstracts of the talks, remarks and the problems presented at the symposium, focusing on the following subjects: equations in one and several variables; equations characterizing special functions; iteration; composite equations; equations for multiplace functions; functional differential equations; equations for matrix and operator valued functions; equations determining homomorphisms and homotopies and other equations on abstract algebraic systems; general solution methods; existence, uniqueness, regularity and extension theorems for families of equations. Connections with classical and functional analysis, algebra, geometry, and applications to probability, information theory, utility and decision theory were also discussed in depth.
