Polynomial equations for additive functions II

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this sequence of work we investigate polynomial equations of additive functions. We consider the solutions of equation [ sum_{i=1}^{n}f_{i}(x^{p_{i}})g_{i}(x)^{q_{i}}= 0 qquad left(xin mathbb{F} ight), ] where n is a positive integer, mathbbFsubsetmathbbC is a field, fi,gicolonmathbbFomathbbC are additive functions and pi,qi are positive integers for all i=1,ldots,n. Using the theory of decomposable functions we describe the solutions as compositions of higher order derivations and field homomorphisms. In many cases we also give a tight upper bound for the order of the involved derivations. Moreover, we present the full description of the solutions in some important special cases, too.
