On the functional equation \(x+f(y+f(x))=y+f(x+f(y))\). II. (English) Zbl 1386.39034

Summary: For an abelian group (\(G,+,0)\) we consider the functional equation \[ f : G \to G, \quad x + f(y + f(x)) = y + f(x + f(y)) \quad (\forall x, y \in G),{(1)} \] together with the condition \[ f(0) = 0.{(0)} \] The main question is that of existence of solutions of \((1)\wedge (0)\), specifically in the case when \(G\) is the direct sum \(\mathbb Z_n^{(J)}\) of copies of a finite or infinite cyclic group (Theorems 3.2 and 4.20).
