Cauchy–Schwarz-type inequalities for solutions of Levi-Civita-type functional equations
摘要
The main goal of this paper is to show that if a real-valued function defined on a groupoid satisfies a certain Levi-Civita-type functional equation, then it also fulfills a Cauchy–Schwarz-type functional inequality. In particular, if the groupoid is the multiplicative structure of a commutative ring, then we can establish the existence of nontrivial additive functions satisfying inequalities connected to the multiplicative structure.
