In this paper we are concerned with the uniqueness of solutions of functional equations of the form Some conditions for (1) or (2) to have at most one real continuous solution f which satisfies two given initial conditions are contained in [2], [3], [4] and [7]. Conditions sufficient for the equation to determine at most one continuous solution f with values in a Banach algebra are contained in [5]. It is well known (see [1] ch. 2) that one initial condition suffices for Cauchy's equation or two for Jensen's equation to uniquely determine a real solution f which is bounded on an interval or majorized on a set of positive measure by a measurable function. We place conditions on F and H so that similar statements can be made about solutions of (1) or (2). The corresponding results for solutions which are functions of many real variables follow as for Cauchy's and Jensen's equations (see [1] ch. 5).
