On integral inequalities of the Sobolev type.
We prove that for some parameters q ∈ (0,1) every solution f:ℝ → ℝ of the functional equation f(qx) = 1/(4q) [f(x-1) + f(x+1) + 2f(x)] which vanishes outside the interval [-q/(1-q),q/(1-q)] and is bounded in a neighbourhood of a point of that interval vanishes everywhere.
In this paper, measurable solutions of a functional equation with four unknown functions are obtained. As an application of the measurable solutions a joint characterization of Shannon’s entropy and entropy of type is given.
