      f(x + y) - f(x - y) = f(x)f(y)
      Setting y = 0, x is free:
      f(x) - f(x) = f(x)f(0)
      either f(x) = 0 for all x, or f(0) = 0.
      setting x = 0, y is free:
      f(y) - f(-y) = f(0)f(y)
      ∴ f(-y) = f(y)
      setting y = -y, x is free:
      f(x - y) - f(x + y) = f(x)f(-y)
      ∴ f(x + y) = f(x - y)
      ∴f(x)f(y) = 0 for all f(x),f(y)
      setting x = y:
      f(2y) - f(0) = f²(y) but we know that f²(y) = 0 for all y
      ∴ f(2y) = f(0) for all 2y, and as f(0) = 0; f(y) is a constant function = 0.

    Replace y with -y and with given eqn we will get a system:
    { f(x+y) - f(x-y) = f(x)f(y)
    { f(x-y) - f(x+y) = f(x)f(-y)
    Sum these eqns:
    0 = f(x)(f(y) + f(-y))
    Suppose f(x) = 0 then its done.
    Suppose f(y) + f(-y) = 0 then f(y) - odd function, stop what? But we already prove that f(x) is even(at 4:11) ))) So f(x) and even and odd function. What function it can be? Right, f(x) = 0.

  • @cicik57

    - substitute 0,0 : f(0) - f(0) = f²(0) => f(0) = 0
    - substitute 0,n:f(n) -f(-n) = f(0)f(n) =0 so f(n) = -f(n), so f is symmetrical
    - substitute x = a+b, y = a-b:
    f(a) * f(b) = f(2x) - f(2y) = f(b+a)(b-a) (because f is symmetrical) = f(2y) - f(2x) so
    2f(2x) = 2f(2y) or f is constant, but we figured out above that f = 0
    - answer: f(anything) = 0

    I hoped there was a non-trivial solution for some other field - e.g. one of characteristic 2, but the proof is even quicker: For any x, we have 0 = f(0)-f(0) = f(x+x)-f(x-x) = f(x)^2, and hence f(x) = 0.

  • @majora4
    @majora4 2 месяца назад +1

    I finished up from step 4 in a slightly different way.
    • -f(2x) = f(x) * f(-x)
    • -f(2x) = f(-x) * f(-x) from step 2
    • -f(2x) = [f(-x)]^2
    • -f(2x) = f(-2x) from step 3
    Previously we deduced that f(x) is even, and we just now deduced f(x) is odd too. The only function that's both even and odd at the same time is f(x) = 0.

  • @orchestra2603
    @orchestra2603 2 месяца назад +3

    Beautiful👍 I did it in a bit different way though. I figured out that f(0)=0, but missed out on the even/odd function argument
    However, I noticed that if we put y=∆x and ∆x->0, then in the limit the LHS gives 2∆x*f'(x) and the RHS gives f(x)*f'(0)*∆x, because f(dx)=f(0+dx)=f(0)+f'(0)dx=f'(0)dx. This all of course rests on the assumption that this limit exists, and f is differentiable at x.
    Then, we have 2 f'(x) = f(x)*f'(0). The solution of this ODE is f(x) = f(0)*exp(f'(0)*x/2). But because f(0)=0, then f(x) = 0 for all x.

    If we substitute y = 0 and keep x we get f(x) = 0 as a solution since the beginning. But then we have to keep trying other substitutions until we verify no other solutions are possible.

    • @michaelfaccone5811
      @michaelfaccone5811 2 месяца назад

      Maybe I don't get how you're doing this. If I substitute y=0 leaving x free, I get f(x)-f(x)=f(x)*f(0), which simplifies to 0=0, not f(x)=0.

    • @davidsousaRJ
      @davidsousaRJ 2 месяца назад

      @@michaelfaccone5811 you get 0 = f(x)*f(0), therefore, either f(x) = 0 or f(0) = 0. I did not know that f(0) = 0 yet, this was the first substitution I have made.

    f(x)*f(0)=f(x+0)-f(x-0)=0 => f(0)=0
    f(0+y)-f(0-y)=f(y)*f(0)=0 => f(y)=f(-y)
    f(x+x)-f(x-x)=f(x)*f(x) => f(2x)+0=f(x)^2
    f(x-x)-f(x-(-x))=f(x)*f(-x) => -f(2x)-0=f(x)*(-f(x))= f(x)^2
    So
    f(2x)=f(x)^2-f(2x) => f(2x)=0

    f(0)=0
    (f(x+h)-f(x-h))/(2h) = f(x)/2 * f(h)/h
    h -> 0
    f’(x) = f(x)/2 * (f(h) - 0)/(h - 0) = f(x)/2 * (f(0 + h) - f(0))/(h - 0) = f(x)/2 * f’(0)
    But when x = 0
    f’(0) = f(0)/2 * f’(0) = 0 because f(0) = 0
    f’(x) = 0
    ==> f(x) = 0

    Put x=x, y=0
    f(x)-f(x)=f(x)*f(0)
    f(0)*f(x)=0

    f(x+y)-f(x-y) = f(x)f(y)
    (a) y=0 => f(x)-f(x) = 0 = f(x)f(0)
    => f(x)=0 or f(y)=0 the second in inside the first, so f(0)=0
    (b) x=0 => f(y)-f(-y) = f(0)f(y) = 0 => f(y)=f(-y)
    (c) y=x => f(2x)-f(0) = f(2x)=f(x)²
    (d) y=-x => f(0)-f(2x) = -f(2x) = f(x)f(-x) = (b) f(x)²
    (c,d) => f(2x)=-f(2x) => f(2x)=0 and so f(x)=0 forall x

    The way I solved it.
    In such questions it is often beneficial to insert x=0, y=0 (or both), as well as x=y and/or x=-y.
    I proceeded as follows.
    Fill in x=0 and y=0. This gives:
    f(0)-f(0)=0=f(0)*f(0)
    Hence f(0)=0.
    Substituting x=y, we get (for arbitrary x):
    f(2*x)-f(0)=f(x)*f(x)
    or:
    f(2*x)=f(x)*f(x)
    This means that f(2*x) is the product of two identical real numbers, hence f(2*x) is non-negative. Since x was arbitrary, we can conclude that f(2*x) is non-negative for all x and hence the same holds for f(x).
    Now substitute y=-x in the general equation. We get:
    f(0)-f(2*x)=f(x)*f(-x)
    or (since f(0)=0):
    -f(2*x)=f(x)*f(-x)
    Since we've concluded that f(x)≥0 for every x, this only can mean that f(x)=0 for every x.

    f(x+y)-f(x-y) = f(x)f(y)
    x,y := 0 gives f(0)-f(0) = f(0)f(0), hence f(0)² = 0. Thus f(0) = 0
    x := 0 gives f(y)-f(-y) = f(0)f(y) = 0. Hence f(y) = f(-y) for any y.
    y := -y gives f(x-y)-f(x+y) = f(x)f(-y) = f(x)f(y) for any x,y
    Thus we have for any x,y we have
    f(x+y)-f(x-y) = f(x)f(y)
    f(x-y)-f(x+y) = f(x)f(y)
    adding both gives
    0 = 2f(x)f(y) hence f(x)f(y) = 0 for any x,y
    Hence with y := x, we get f(x)² = 0, thus f(x) = 0 for any x
