Scale-invariant equal sacrifice in taxation and conditional functional equations.
In 1978 P. M. Gruber (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 245 (1978), 263–277) imposed the following general problem or Ulam type problem: “Suppose a mathematical object satisfies a certain property approximately. Is it then possible to approximate this objects by objects, satisfying the property exactly?" The afore-mentioned problem of P. M. Gruber is more general than the following problem imposed by S. M. Ulam in 1940 (Intersci, Publ., Inc., New York 1960): “Give conditions in order for a linear mapping...
In 1940 S. M. Ulam (Intersci. Publ., Inc., New York 1960) imposed at the University of Wisconsin the problem: “Give conditions in order for a linear mapping near an approximately linear mapping to exist”. According to P. M. Gruber (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 245 (1978), 263–277) the afore-mentioned problem of S. M. Ulam belongs to the following general problem or Ulam type problem: “Suppose a mathematical object satisfies a certain property approximately. Is it then possible to approximate this objects...
The paper is devoted to some functional inequalities related to the exponential mapping.
