On a class of linear functional equations without range condition
read the original abstract
The main purpose of this work is to provide the general solutions of a class of linear functional equations. Let $n\geq 2$ be an arbitrarily fixed integer, let further $X$ and $Y$ be linear spaces over the field $\mathbb{K}$ and let $\alpha_{i}, \beta_{i}\in \mathbb{K}$, $i=1, \ldots, n$ be arbitrarily fixed constants. We will describe all those functions $f, f_{i, j}\colon X\times Y\to \mathbb{K}$, $i, j=1, \ldots, n$ that fulfill functional equation \[ f\left(\sum_{i=1}^n \alpha_i x_i, \sum_{i=1}^n \beta_i y_i\right)= \sum_{i, j=1}^{n}f_{i, j}(x_i, y_j) \qquad \left(x_i \in X, y_i \in Y, i=1, \ldots, n\right). \] Additionally, necessary and sufficient conditions will also be given that guarantee the solutions to be non-trivial.
