Summary.
We consider two functional equations: one (11) \( f(x) - f(y) = h(sx + ty)(x - y) \), for \( x,y \in \mathbb{R},\, x \neq y \) connected to Rudin‚s problem on groups and the other (12) \( f(x) - g(y) = (x - y)(h(x + y) + k(x) + \ell(y)) \), for \( x,y \in \mathbb{R} \), a generalization of the mean value theorem.
