Row-summable matrices with application to generalization of Schröder's and Abel's functional equations (Q2142575)

In this paper, the functional equation \[ \sum_n \alpha_n(x) f(u_n(x))=g(x) \] is considered. The unknown function is \(f:Y\to \mathbb{C},\) while \(u_n:X\to Y,\) \(\alpha_n:X\to \mathbb{C},\) \(n\in \mathbb{N},\) and \(g:X\to \mathbb{C}\) are given; \(X,Y\) are nonempty sets. In the main theorem, it is shown that, under suitable conditions on the functions involved, there exists a unique bounded solution to the functional equation. Essential tools in the proof are row-summable matrices and their related bounded linear operators.
