Abstract: The main purpose of this work is to characterize derivations through functional equations. This work consists of five chapters. In the first one, we summarize the most important notions and results from the theory of functional equations. In Chapter 2 we collect all the definitions and results regarding derivations that are essential while studying this area. In Chapter 3 we intend to show that derivations can be characterized by one single functional equation. More exactly, we study here the following problem. Let Q be a commutative ring and let P be a subring of Q. Let lambda,muinQsetminusleft0ight be arbitrary, fcolonPightarrowQ be a function and consider the equation [ lambdaleft[f(x+y)-f(x)-f(y) ight]+ muleft[f(xy)-xf(y)-yf(x) ight]=0 quad left(x, yin P ight). ] In this chapter it will be proved that under some assumptions on the rings P and Q, derivations can be characterized via the above equation. Chapter 4 is devoted to the additive solvability of a system of functional equations. Moreover, the linear dependence and independence of the additive solutions d0,d1,dots,dncolonmathbbRomathbbR of the above system of equations is characterized. Finally, the closing chapter deals with the following problem. Assume that xicolonmathbbRomathbbR is a given differentiable function and for the additive function fcolonmathbbRomathbbR, the mapping [ varphi(x)=fleft(xi(x) ight)-xi'(x)f(x) ] fulfills some regularity condition on its domain. Is it true that in such a case f is a sum of a derivation and a linear function?
