Abstract:

Let f be an unknown entire function of a complex variable, and let s, t be real variables. We consider Jensen’s functional equation \[ f\left ( {\frac {{x + y}}{2}} \right ) = \frac {{f(x) + f(y)}}{2},\] where x, y are complex variables. Replacing x and y by s and it in the above equation and taking the absolute values of the resulting equality one obtains the functional equation \[ \left | {f\left ( {\frac {{s + it}}{2}} \right )} \right | = \left | {\frac {{f(s) + f(it)}}{2}} \right |.\] The main purpose of this paper is to solve a new generalization of the above equation.
