Further results on a new class of functional equations satisfied by polynomial functions (Q2691556)

The main aim of this paper is to consider the following functional equation: \[ \sum_{i=1}^{n}\gamma_{i}F(a_{i}x+b_{i}y)= \sum_{j=1}^{m}(\alpha_{j}x+\beta_{j}y)f(c_{j}x+d_{j}y) \qquad \left(x, y\in \mathbb{R}\right), \] for the unknown functions \(f, F\colon \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}\). Here \(\gamma_{i}, \alpha_{j}, \beta_{j}\in \mathbb{R}\) and \(a_{i}, b_{i}, c_{j}, d_{j}\in \mathbb{Q}\) are fixed parameters. The author determines the polynomial solutions of the above equation and compares the solutions with those of the equations \[ \sum_{i=1}^{n}\gamma_{i}F(a_{i}x+b_{i}y)= yf(x)+xf(y), \] and \[ F(x+y)-F(x)-F(y)=\sum_{j=1}^{m}(\alpha_{j}x+\beta_{j}y)f(c_{j}x+d_{j}y). \]
