Therefore use of the functional equation is basic, in order to study the zeta-function in the whole complex plane.
A unified theory of such functional equations was given by Erich Hecke, and the theory taken up again in Tate's thesis by John Tate.
There are also functional equations for the local zeta-functions, arising at a fundamental level for the (analogue of) Poincaré duality in étale cohomology.

A functional equation is an equation whose unknowns are functions.
Functional equations appear many places, for example, the gamma function and Riemann's zeta function both satisfy functional equations.

 39: Difference and functional equations
When the focus of a functional equation is on continuity of functions and a domain is specified, this becomes a question of topology (in particular this sometimes becomes questions about the group of homeomorphism or diffeomorphisms of a set.
Functions whose domains are integers are sequences, of course; thus a functional equation with this domain is essentially a recursion problem.
Functional equations are often studied by considering the orbits of points in the domain under iterates of some function.

 Functional equation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics or its applications, a functional equation is an equation in terms of independent variables, and also unknown functions, which are to be solved for.
Many properties of functions can be determined by studying the types of functional equations they satisfy.
Usually the term functional equation is reserved for equations that are not in some simple sense reducible to algebraic equations, often because two or more known functions of the variables are substituted as arguments into an unknown function to be solved for.

In mathematics, a function is a relation, such that each element of a set (the domain) is associated with a unique element of another (possibly the same) set (the codomain, not to be confused with the range).
In mathematics, the Riemann zeta function is a function which is of paramount importance in number theory, because of its relation to the distribution of prime numbers.

 equation - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
In mathematics, one often (not quite always) distinguishes between an identity, which is an assertion that two expressions are equal regardless of the values of any variables that occur within them, and an equation, which may be true for only some (or none) of the values of any such variables.
In equations, the values of the variables for which the equation is true are called solutions.
Thus to solve the equation, one must express those values of the variables that are solutions in terms of whatever constants may be included.

 Giulio M. Occhionero: The Functional Equation Headquarter
While a function is an object of a certain variable which gives as result a value a functional is an object that has functions as variables and gives functions as results.
Functionals can be generally expresses in integral form which is a technique to make them fall onto the ground of integral operators and eigenfunctions.
Functional equations are equations where the unknown, a function, has to be found.

While in the foundational period of functional analysis from 1900-1920, it was largely the study of vector spaces such as the Lp spaces that are function spaces, the later axiomatic approach made no such assumption.
The name linear functional, however, was carried over and applied to the dual space construction, in the general case.

As a matter of fact this last function has been widely used to explain the probabilistic distribution of said stresses in a large collection of materials and in diverse strain-states[3-8].
The functional equation (1) is based on the hypothesis of the independence of the cumulative probabilities of non-fracture.
The distribution function of cumulative probability defined by equation (32) is a Weibull statistics when the volume of the material, or the stress applied thereto, is approaching the value zero, as can be seen when equation (27) is expanded in Taylor series.

These new functions have generally been introduced, because it appeared that some problem which was occupying the attention of mathematicians was incapable of solution by means of the functions already known.
