Abstract

In this work, we present the general solution of a functional equation f (ux + vy,uyn+ zw)= (x,y,z)+ (u,v,w)+  (x,y,z) f (u,v,w) for all x,y,u,v,w, z gif.latex?\in gif.latex?\mathbb{R} , which arises from determinant of some symmetric 3 x 3 matrices. We also determine the general solution of its Pexiderized version f (ux+vy,uy + vx,zw)= gif.latex?g(x,y,z)+ h (u,v,w)+ gif.latex?l (x,y,z) n (u,v,w) for all x,y,u,v,w,z gif.latex?\ingif.latex?\mathbb{R},without any regularity assumptions on unknown functions f,gif.latex?g,h,gif.latex?l,n :gif.latex?\mathbb{R}3  gif.latex?\rightarrow gif.latex?\mathbb{R}.
