On spectral analysis in varieties containing the solutions of inhomogeneous linear functional equations

The aim of the paper is to investigate the solutions of special inhomogeneous linear functional equations using spectral analysis in a translation invariant closed linear subspace of additive/multiadditive functions containing the restrictions of the solutions to finitely generated fields. The application of spectral analysis in some related varieties is a new and important trend in the theory of functional equations; especially they have successful applications in the case of homogeneous linear functional equations. The foundations of the theory can be found in Kiss and Varga (Aequat Math 88(1):151–162, 2014) and Kiss and Laczkovich (Aequat Math 89(2):301–328, 2015). We are going to adopt the main theoretical tools to solve some inhomogeneous problems due to Koclȩga-Kulpa and Szostok (Ann Math Sylesianae 22:27–40, 2008), see also Koclȩga-Kulpa and Szostok (Georgian Math J 16:725–736, 2009; Acta Math Hung 130(4):340–348, 2011). They are motivated by quadrature rules of approximate integration.
