Let Y (+) be a group, D ⊆ ℤ2 where ℤ(+, ⩽) denotes the ordered group of all integers, and ℤ2 := ℤ×ℤ. We shall use the notations Dx := {u ∈ ℤ | ∃vX : (u, v) ∈ D}, Dy := {v ∈ ℤ | ∃u ∈ ℤ : (u, v) ∈ D}, Dx+y := {z ∈ ℤ | ∃(u, v) ∈ D : z = u + v}. The main purpose of the article is to find sets D ⊆ ℤ2 that the general solution of the functional equation f (x+y) = g(x)+h(y) for all (x, y) ∈ D with unknown functions f : Dx+yY, g : DxY, h : DyY is in the form of f (u) = a(u) + C1 + C2 for all uDx+y, g(v) = a(v) + C1 for all vDx, h(z) = a(z) + C2 for all zDy where a : ℤ → Y is an additive function, C1, C2Y are constants.
