The general solution of Abel-type functional equations (Q1895198)

The paper provides another proof of the following result (Theorem 1) which describes the general solution of the equation (1) \(\psi(x+ y)= g(xy)+ h(x- y)\) and is known due to the author [Rocznik Nauk. Dyd. WSP w Krakowie 115, 192-193 (1987)] and \textit{J. Aczél} [Bull. Am. Math. Soc., New Ser. 20, 153-163 (1989; Zbl 0676.39004)]: If functions \(\psi\), \(g\), \(h: \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}\) satisfy (1) then \(\psi(x)= A(x^2/4)+ \alpha+ \beta\), \(g(x)= A(x)+ \alpha\), and \(h(x)= A(x^2/4)+ \beta\) for every \(x\in \mathbb{R}\), where \(\alpha\), \(\beta\) are reals and \(A: \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}\) is an additive function. After some modifications the method of the proof is also used for finding the general solution of the equation (2) \(a(x+ y)b(x- y)= c(xy)\) (Theorem 2). All measurable solutions of (2) were determined by \textit{A. St. Filipescu} [Studii Cerc. Mat. 21, No. 5, 739-746 (1969; Zbl 0194.453)].
