Summary.

We consider Hosszú’s famous functional equation f(x) + f(y) = f(xy) + f(x + y − xy). We completely describe the set of functions \(f : R \rightarrow {\mathbb{A}}\) satisfying this equation, where R is the set of the Gaussian or Eisenstein integers and \({\mathbb{A}}\) is an arbitrary abelian group.
