Let R denote the set of real numbers. For f:R → R and h ∈ R, the difference function Δhf is defined by

The function H:R → R is called additive if it satisfies Cauchy's equation

Let ℱ be a class of real valued functions defined on R. ℱ is said to have the difference property if, for every function f:R → R satisfying Δhf ∈ ℱ for every h ∈ R, there exists an additive function H such that f — H ∈ ℱ

It was conjectured by P. Erdos that the class of continuous functions has the difference property. This conjecture was proved by N. G. de Bruijn in [1], where the difference property of several other classes was verified as well. (For other references, see [6].)
