      The main result offered by the authors is that all solutions, mapping the Cartesian square of an abelian periodic semigroup (one in which every element is of finite order) into a uniquely divisible abelian group, of the functional equation \(F(x,y)+F(xy,z)=F(xy,z)+F(y,z)\) are of the form \(F(x,y)=f(x)+f(y)-f(xy).\)
