Functional Equations and Poincare Invariant Mechanical Systems
We study the following functional equation that has arisen in the context of mechanical systems invariant under the Poincare algebra: \sum\limits_{i=1}^{n+1}\dfrac{\partial}{\partial x_{i}}\prod\limits_{j\neq i}f(x_{i}-x_{j}) =0,\qquad n \geq 2. New techniques are developed and the general solution within a certain class of functions is given. New solutions are found.

Mechanical Systems with Poincare Invariance
Some years ago Ruijsenaars and Schneider initiated the study of mechanical systems exhibiting an action of the Poincare algebra. The systems they discovered were far richer: their models were actually integrable and possessed a natural quantum version. We follow this early work finding and classifying mechanical systems with such an action. New solutions are found together with a new class of models exhibiting an action of the Galilean algebra. These are related to the functional identities underlying the various Hirzebruch genera. The quantum mechanics is also discussed.

On a Functional Differential Equation of Determinantal Type
We solve the functional equations $$ \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 f(x) & f(y) & f(z) f\sp{\prime}(x)& f\sp{\prime}(y)& f\sp{\prime}(z) \end{vmatrix} =0,\quad\quad \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 1 & 1 f(x) & g(y) & h(z) \\ f\sp{\prime}(x)& g\sp{\prime}(y)& h\sp{\prime}(z) \end{vmatrix} =0, for suitable functions $f$, $g$ and $h$ subject to $x+y+z=0$. These equations essentially characterise the Weierstrass $\wp$-function and its degenerations. %\quad\quad x+y+z=0. $$
