On a Functional Equation Related to Information Theory

Prem Nath, Dhiraj Kumar Singh

Abstract


The general solutions of a functional equation, without imposing any
regularity condition on the mappings appearing in it, have been
obtained. One solution of this functional equation is useful from
information-theoretic point of view.


Keywords


Functional equation, additive mapping, multiplicative mapping
