Summary. We find the set of continuous solutions f, g of the functional equation
n=0where to = exp(27ri/N) and N • N. We show that if (f, g) # (0, 0) is a continuous solution of (I) then g satisfies the generalized cosine equation 'E,,v(co'z ).If g = go,0 = 1 then the space of continuous solutions f of (1) has dimension 2 and is spanned by z --, :? and z ~z N-1.
