Gołąb-Schinzel equation on cylinders (Q2359697)

The paper deals with the Gołąb-Schinzel functional equation \[ f(x+f(x)y)=f(x)f(y) \] where \(f: \mathbb R \to \mathbb R\). This functional equation has been studied by various authors and it is of interest for some applications to investigate the solutions in various types of restricted domains. The authors of the present paper consider the case of a cylinder, i.e., they determine all constinuous solutions of the following two functional equations: \[ f(x+f(x)y)=f(x)f(y), \quad \text{for}\quad (x,y) \in \mathbb R \times A \] and \[ f(x+f(x)y)=f(x)f(y), \quad \text{for}\quad (x,y) \in A \times \mathbb R, \] where \(A\) is a non-empty subset of \(\mathbb R\).
