A functional equation arising from ranked additive and separable utility

All strictly monotonic solutions of a general functional equation are determined. In a particular case, which plays an essential role in the axiomatization of rank-dependent expected utility, all nonnegative solutions are obtained without any regularity conditions. An unexpected possibility of reduction to convexity makes the present proof possible.
