So, then this is the point! I didn't know this theorem, but now it is clear, that this entry is naturally attached to this theorem. I guess, such theorem is not presented yet in encyclopedia, so I think it would be reasonable if not to make an entry for this theorem, then at least to mention it here (in the entry "addition formula").
