Abstract
Let X be a unital algebra with unit e and Y a real Hausdorff topological vector space. In this article, we obtain the general set-valued solution of the Davison functional equation
for functions F defined on X with values in the set of nonempty compact and convex subsets of Y. Additionally, we investigate various extensions of the Davison set-valued functional equation.
