STABILITY OF A FUNCTIONAL EQUATION RELATED TO DISTANCE MEASURES - II.

The present work continues the study of the stability of the functional equations of the type f(pr, qs) + f(ps, qr) = f(p, q) f(r, s) namely (i) f(pr, qs)+f(ps, qr) = g(p, q) g(r, s), and (ii) f(pr, qs)+f(ps, qr) = g(p, q) h(r, s) for all p, q, r, s ∈ G, where G is an abelian group. These functional equations arise in the characterization of symmetrically compositive sumform distance measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
