Abstract.
Let \(\mathbb{R}_ + : = (0,\infty ).\) We show that for every function \(f:\mathbb{R}_ + \to \mathbb{R}\) satisfying the conditional equation
either there exists a solution \(g:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\) of the Gołab-Schinzel equation
such that \(f = g|_{\mathbb{R}_ + } \) (i.e., f(x) = g(x) for \(x \in \mathbb{R}_ + \)) or there is x0 > 0 with f(x0) < −1 and f(x) = 0 for x ≠ x0 . In particular we determine the solutions \(f:\mathbb{R}_ + \to \mathbb{R}\) of the conditional equation that are continuous at a point, Lebesgue measurable or Baire measurable (i.e., have the Baire property). In this way we solve some problems raised by the first author.
