On a Certain Generalized Functional Equation for Set-Valued Functions

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to generalize results by Sikorska on some functional equations for set-valued functions. In the paper, a tool is described for solving a generalized type of an integral-functional equation for a set-valued function F:X→cc(Y), where X is a real vector space and Y is a locally convex real linear metric space with an invariant metric. Most general results are described in the case of a compact topological group G equipped with the right-invariant Haar measure acting on X. Further results are found if the group G is finite or Y is Asplund space. The main results are applied to an example where X=R2 and Y=Rn, n∈N, and G is the unitary group U(1).
