Let G$G$ be a group and \mathbb{K}\,=\,\mathbb{C}\,\text{or}\,\mathbb{R}$\mathbb{K}\,=\,\mathbb{C}\,\text{or}\,\mathbb{R}$. In this article, as a generalization of the result of Albert and Baker, we investigate the behavior of bounded and unbounded functions f\,:\,G\,\to \,\mathbb{K}$f\,:\,G\,\to \,\mathbb{K}$ satisfying the inequality

\left| f\left( \sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}{{{x}_{k}}} \right)\,-\,\underset{k=1}{\overset{n}{\mathop{\Pi }}}\,f\left( {{x}_{k}} \right) \right|\,\,\le \phi \left( {{x}_{2}},\,.\,.\,.\,,{{x}_{n}} \right),\,\,\,\,\,\,\forall {{x}_{1}},\,.\,.\,.\,,{{x}_{n}}\,\in \,G, $$\left| f\left( \sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}{{{x}_{k}}} \right)\,-\,\underset{k=1}{\overset{n}{\mathop{\Pi }}}\,f\left( {{x}_{k}} \right) \right|\,\,\le \phi \left( {{x}_{2}},\,.\,.\,.\,,{{x}_{n}} \right),\,\,\,\,\,\,\forall {{x}_{1}},\,.\,.\,.\,,{{x}_{n}}\,\in \,G,$$

Where \phi :\,{{G}^{n-1}}\,\to \,[0,\,\infty )$\phi :\,{{G}^{n-1}}\,\to \,[0,\,\infty )$. Also as a a distributional version of the above inequality we consider the stability of the functional equation

u\,\circ \,S\,-\,\overbrace{u\,\otimes \,.\,.\,.\,\otimes \,u}^{n-\text{times}}\,=\,0, $$u\,\circ \,S\,-\,\overbrace{u\,\otimes \,.\,.\,.\,\otimes \,u}^{n-\text{times}}\,=\,0,$$

where u$u$ is a Schwartz distribution or Gelfand hyperfunction, \circ$\circ$ and \otimes$\otimes$ are the pullback and tensor product of distributions, respectively, and S\left( {{x}_{1}},\,.\,.\,.\,,{{x}_{n}} \right)\,=\,{{x}_{1}}\,+\,.\,.\,.\,+\,{{x}_{n}}$S\left( {{x}_{1}},\,.\,.\,.\,,{{x}_{n}} \right)\,=\,{{x}_{1}}\,+\,.\,.\,.\,+\,{{x}_{n}}$.

Let F be an arbitrary local field. Consider the standard embedding and the two-sided action of GLn(F)×GLn(F) on GLn+1(F). In this paper we show that any GLn(F)×GLn(F)-invariant distribution on GLn+1(F) is invariant with respect to transposition. We show that this implies that the pair (GLn+1(F), GLn(F)) is a Gelfand pair. Namely, for any irreducible admissible representation (π,E) of GLn+1(F), . For the proof in the archimedean case, we develop several tools to study invariant distributions on smooth manifolds.

We consider an arbitrary Riemann surface $X$, possibly of infinite hyperbolic area. The Liouville measure of the hyperbolic metric defines a measure on the space $G(\tilde{X})$ of geodesics of the universal covering $\tilde{X}$ of $X$. As we vary the Riemann surface structure, this gives an embedding from the Teichmüller space of $X$ into the Fréchet space of Hölder distributions on $G(\tilde{X})$. We show that the embedding is continuously differentiable. In particular, we obtain an explicit integral representation of the tangent map.

The subject of this paper is the use of the theory of Schwartz distributions and approximate identities in studying the functional equation

The aj’s and b are complex-valued functions defined on a neighbourhood, U, of 0 in Rm, hj. U → Rn with hj(0) = 0 and fj, g: Rn → C for 1 ≦ j ≦ N. In most of what follows the aj's and hj's are assumed smooth and may be thought of as given. The fj‘s, b and g may be thought of as the unknowns. Typically we are concerned with locally integrable functions f1, … , fN such that, for each s in U, (1) holds for a.e. (almost every) x ∈ Rn, in the sense of Lebesgue measure.
