Non-existence of measurable solutions of certain functional equations via probabilistic approaches.

This paper deals with functional equations in the form of f (x) + g (y) = h (x , y) where h is given and f and g are unknown. We will show that if h is a Borel measurable function associated with characterizations of the uniform or Cauchy distributions, then there is no measurable solutions of the equation. Our proof uses a characterization of the Dirac measure and it is also applicable to the arctan equation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
