CAUCHY’S FUNCTIONAL EQUATION IN RESTRICTED COMPLEX DOMAINS WATCHARAPON PIMSERT, VICHIAN LAOHAKOSOL, AND SAJEE PIANSKOOL Received 15 September 2004; Revised 22 March 2006; Accepted 4 April 2006 Using a method modified from that used by Pisot and Schoenberg in 1964-1965, a Cauchy’s functional equation with restricted domains in the complex field is solved for uniformly continuous solutions.

(1.1) j j j j j =1 j =1 Under various assumptions on A and α s, Pisot and Schoenberg [8] solved for monotone j solutions of (1.1). In a subsequent paper [9], they treated the case where the domain of solutions is a subset of Rn with the following main result. Let α , α , ... , α be elements of 1 2 A Rn (n A) satisfying the following conditions: (1) every set of n elements among the αi is linearly independent over R, (2) the elements α , α , ... , α are rationally independent, that is, linearly indepen- 1 2 A dent over Q. Let S = { A u α | u ∈ N , the set of nonnegative integers}, B a Banach space and f : j =1 j j j 0 S → B . If f is a uniformly continuous solution of the CFE ( 1.1), then f (x ) admits a unique representation of the form f (x ) = λ (x ) + A =1 ϕm (x ), where λ is a linear function from
