### Functional Equations PSet : From Very Basic

Here are 50 Functional Equations ( and Inequalities ) from Mathlinks, various contests, own and including basic equations like Cauchy's, Jensen's and D-Alembert's.

( There may be some confusion with the definition of range and co-domain, Wiki says Range $\subseteq$ Co-domain, but somehow not only me, but also a lot of Mathlinker knows the opposite. Anyway, definition is what we define )

### Re: Functional Equations PSet : From Very Basic

Again I am requesting you to use ''image'' instead of ''co-domain" and write image$\subseteq$Range.Bacause somewhere co-domain refers to range (According to our text book) and somewhere to image (According to mathlinks).That's why Saumitra Vaia advised me not to use "co-domain".And a lot of thanks for the note.

### Re: Functional Equations PSet : From Very Basic

Adib is right, your use of codomain is wrong and should be replaced by image/range (as should be done here). It is always best not to use "range" because it can mean either codomain or image.

If $f:A\to B$, then
the codomain of $f$ is $B$
the image of $f$ is $\{f(x):x\in A\}$

So, for example, $f:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$, $f(x)=x^2$ has codomain $\mathbb R$, and image $\mathbb R_{\ge 0}$. The domain and codomain must be specified when defining a function.
