Abstract:
The main result is an improvement of previous results on the equation for a given function . We find its general solution assuming only continuous differentiability and local nonlinearity of . We also provide new results about the more general equation for a given function . Previous uniqueness results required strong regularity assumptions on a particular solution . Here we weaken the assumptions on considerably and find all solutions under slightly stronger regularity assumptions on .
