Measurable Functions

We determine all measurable functionsI,G,L:[0,1]→ℝsatisfying the functional equation∑i=1n∑j=1mI(pi,qj)=∑i=1n∑j=1mG(pi)I(qj)+∑i=1n∑j=1mL(qj)I(pi)forP∈Γn,Q∈Γmand for a fixed pair(n,m),n≥3,m≥3, whereG(0)=L(0)=0andG(1)=L(1)=1. This functional equation has interesting applications in information theory.

Two Parameters

Sharma and Autar [6] have formed a functional equation in two variables containing two parameters which, as a particular case, includes Daróczy's [1] generalized functional equation used in information theory. The solutions of our functional equation, under suitable boundary conditions, lead to an inaccuracy function of a new type. A characterization of this inaccuracy function and the convexity of Daróczy's entropy of type-ß have been given in this paper.
