  Abstract:

It is shown that, under some algebraic conditions on fixed reals $ alpha _{1},alpha _{2},dots ,alpha _{n+1}$ and vectors $ mathbf{a}_{1}mathbf{,a} _{2},mathbf{dots ,a}_{n+1}in mathbb{R}^{n}$, every continuous at a point function $ f:mathbb{R}^{n}rightarrow mathbb{R}$ satisfying the simultaneous system of inequalities

$displaystyle f(mathbf{x+a}_{i})leq alpha _{i}+f(mathbf{x}),quad mathbf{x}in mathbb{R}^{n},i=1,2,dots ,n+1,$

has to be of the form $ f(mathbf{x})=mathbf{pcdot x}+f(mathbf{0}),$ $ mathbf{x}in mathbb{R}^{n}$, with uniquely determined $ mathbf{p}in mathbb{R}^{n}$. For mappings with values in a Banach space which are weakly of a constant sign, a counterpart of this result is given.;
