Abstract: We study the continuous solutions of several classical functional equations by using the properties of the spaces of continuous functions which are invariant under some elementary linear trans-formations. Concretely, we use that the sets of continuous solutions of certain equations are closed vector subspaces of

C (m a t h b b C^{d}, m a t h b b C)

which are invariant under affine transformations

T_{a, b} (f) (z) = f (a z + b)

, or closed vector subspaces of

C (m a t h b b R^{d}, m a t h b b R)

which are translation and dilation invariant. These spaces have been recently classified by Sternfeld and Weit, and Pinkus, respectively, so that we use this information to give a direct characterization of the continuous solutions of the corresponding functional equations.
