Abstract

The results of applications of solutions of functional equations or of methods used in the theory of functional equations to the following subjects are discussed in this paper. Determination of all Cremona transformations which reduce linear transformations with triangular matrices to translations. One-parameter subsemigroups of affine transformations and their homomorphisms. Extensions of homomorphisms from sub-semigroups to groups generated by them. Determination of all collineations on subsets of general projective planes and their extensions to the entire plane.
