Extract

Two finite real functions ƒ(x) and g(x), defined for — ∞ < x < ∞, are said to be Riemann equivalent if |ƒ(x)—g(x)| has a zero Riemann integral over every finite interval; we then write ƒ~g or

N. G. de Bruijn conjectured that if ƒ(x+h)~ƒ(x) for every real number h, then ƒ~c where c is a constant; this was proved by P. Erdös [1]. In this note we associate with an arbitrary function ƒ the additive group (ƒ) of all numbers h which make ƒ(x)~ƒ(x+h), i.e. which make
