The D'Alembert functional equation is f(x+y)+f(x−y)=2f(x)f(y).
Let f:R→R satisfy the functional equation for all x,y∈R. It's well known that f is of the form f(x)=E(x)+E∗(x)2, for some E:R→C.
How can I use this functional equation to solve the following problem?
Let λ be a nonzero real constant. Find all functions f,g:R→R that satisfy the functional equation f(x+y)+g(x−y)=λf(x)g(y)
for all x,y∈R.
