Abstract
This paper is the third in a series in which the author investigates the question of representation of forms by linear forms. Whereas in the first two treatments the proportion of forms F of degree 3 (resp. degree d) which can be written as a sum of two cubes (resp. d-th powers) of linear forms with algebraic coefficients is determined, the generalization now consists in allowing more general expressions of degree d in two linear forms. The main result is thus to give an asymptotic formula, in terms of their height, for the number or decomposable forms that have a representation $$F(\textbf{X}) = f(L_{1}(\textbf{X}),L_{2}(\textbf{X})),$$
