Abstract

Functional equations appear in many applications. They provide a powerful tool for narrowing the models used to describe many phenomena. In particular, some class of functional equations arises recently from many applications, e.g. networks and communication. In this chapter on the one hand, we present some functional equations of the same class of interest. On the other hand, we use boundary value problem theory to investigate the solution of a special functional equation: an equation arising from some queueing model.
