The existence of non-trivial monomial terms of the solution strongly depends on the algebraic properties of some related families of parameters. As a continuation of the previous work [A. Varga, Cs. Vincze, G. Kiss, Algebraic methods for the solution of linear functional equations, Acta Math. Hungar.] we are going to present constructive algebraic methods of the solution in some special cases. Explicit examples will be also given. KW - linear functional equations KW - spectral analysis KW - field homomorphisms SN - 1232-9274 ER -
