On a functional equation of Pexider type

Functional equations in the complex plane, iteration and composition of analytic functions of one complex variable (30D05) Functional inequalities, including subadditivity, convexity, etc. (39B62)

Review text

The author proves that the only solutions of the functional equation (all functions are from \({\mathbb{C}}\) to \({\mathbb{C}})\) \[ | f(z+w)|^ 2+| g(z-w)|^ 2=| h(z+\bar w)|^ 2+| k(z-\bar w)|^ 2, \] where - indicates complex conjugate, in which f, g, h, k are entire, are f, g, h, k all linear or f, g, h, k all linear combinations of \(e^{\lambda z}\) and \(e^{-\lambda z}\), where the eight constants in either case are subject to certain restrictions. The related equation \(| f(z+w)+g(z-w)| =| h(z+\bar w)+k(z-\bar w)|\) is also solved (where again f, g, h, k are presumed entire), and a geometric application is indicated. These results generalize work done over twenty years earlier by the author for the case \(f=g=h=k\).
