Some recent applications of functional equations to the social and behavioral sciences. Further problems.
Equation[1] f(x+y) + f (f(x)+f(y)) = f (f(x+f(y)) + f(f(x)+y))has been proposed by C. Alsina in the class of continuous and decreasing involutions of (0,+∞). General solution of [1] is not known yet. Nevertheless we give solutions of the following equations which may be derived from [1]:[2] f(x+1) + f (f(x)+1) = 1,[3] f(2x) + f(2f(x)) = f(2f(x + f(x))).Equation [3] leads to a Cauchy functional equation:[4] phi(f(x)+x) = phi(f(x)) + phi(x),restricted to the graph of the function f,...
We show that the theorem proved in [8] generalises the previous results concerning orientation-preserving iterative roots of homeomorphisms of the circle with a rational rotation number (see [2], [6], [10] and [7]).
First a stability result of Prager-Schwaiger [Prager W., Schwaiger J., Stability of the multi-Jensen equation, Bull. Korean Math. Soc., 2008, 45(1), 133–142] is generalized by admitting more general domains of the involved function and by allowing the bound to be not constant. Next a result by Cieplinski [Cieplinski K., On multi-Jensen functions and Jensen difference, Bull. Korean Math. Soc., 2008, 45(4), 729–737] is discussed. Finally a characterization of the completeness of a normed space in...
For the difference equation ,where is a Banach space, is a parameter and is a linear, bounded operator. A sufficient condition for the existence of a unique special solution passing through the point is proved. This special solution converges to the solution of the equation (0) as .
We describe the spectra of Jacobi operators J with some irregular entries. We divide ℝ into three “spectral regions” for J and using the subordinacy method and asymptotic methods based on some particular discrete versions of Levinson’s theorem we prove the absolute continuity in the first region and the pure pointness in the second. In the third region no information is given by the above methods, and we call it the “uncertainty region”. As an illustration, we introduce and analyse the OP family...
