A functional equation originating from elliptic curves (Q938372)

Summary: We obtain the general solution and the stability of the functional equation \[ \begin{multlined} f(x+y+z,u+v+w)+f(x+y - z,u+v+w)+2f(x,u - w)+2f(y,v - w) = \\ f(x+y,u+w)+f(x+y,v+w)+f(x+z,u+w)+ \\ +f(x - z,u+v - w)+f(y+z,v+w)+f(y-z,u+v-w).\end{multlined} \] The function \(f(x,y)=x^{3}+ax+b - y^{2}\) having level curves as elliptic curves is a solution of the above functional equation.
