The generalized Pexider equation where f and g are unknown and x, y, are real, has been discussed by J. Aczél [1] and J. Aczé and M. Hosszú [2]. In [2] it is shown that if F is continuous and F and H are strictly increasing in their first variables and strictly decreasing in their second variables, then two initial conditions suffice to determine at most one continuous solution f of (1). We extend these results to strictly increasing and strictly decreasing functions F and derive results for strictly monotonic F and H.
