SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the analytical determination of coefficients a_{i,j} in the equation g(x1+x2)=\sum a_{i,j}g(x^ix^j). Participants express skepticism regarding the feasibility of finding these coefficients for arbitrary functions g. However, they suggest that specific families of functions may allow for such analytical solutions, drawing parallels to polynomial transformations. The transformation's potential applications remain uncertain, but its mathematical structure is recognized as intriguing.

I wonder in what circumstances:

given a function g, we can analytically find the coefficients [tex]a_{i,j}[/tex]

[tex]g(x1+x2)=\sum a_{i,j}g(x^ix^j)[/tex]

I'm not if this would server any useful applications but the transformation looks interesting to me. It looks very simmilar to a polynomial transformation.

For an arbitrary function g(x), I doubt it. There might be a family of functions though.
