In a previous paper [1] J. Aczél has shown the following Theorem 1. If in the (closed, half-closed or open, finite or infinite) interval 〈A, B〉and there f, F are there, f F are continuous, F intern (the value F(x, y) lies strictly between x and y) and u → H(u, v, x, y) or v → H(u, v, x, y) are injective (i.e. or , then the functional equation (*) with the initial conditionshas at most one solution.
