If, instead, the modular functional equation f[(x+y) mod n]=[f(x)+f(y)] mod n is considered, it is found that for each n=1,2,3,... there appears to be exactly n functions with the desired property. See A117987 and A117988 for results on other modular functional equations.

EXAMPLE

For n=5 the six functions are (0,0,0,0,0), (0,1,1,1,1), (1,1,1,1,1), (0,1,4,4,1), (0,1,3,2,4), (0,1,2,3,4). For the 5th of these, (0,1,3,2,4), the x=2, y=3 case is verified by the calculations f(2*3 mod 4) = f(1) = 1 and f(2)*f(3) mod 5 = 3*2 mod 5 = 1.
