We analyse the functional equation $$\begin{aligned} f(x)+f(y)=\max \{f(xy),f(xy^{-1})\} \end{aligned}$$f(x)+f(y)=max{f(xy),f(xy-1)}for a function $$f:G\rightarrow \mathbb R$$f:G→R where G is a group. Without further assumption it characterises the absolute value of additive functions. In addition $$\{z\in G\mid f(z)=0\}$${z∈G∣f(z)=0} is a normal subgroup of G with abelian factor group.
