This paper proposes three new approaches for additive functional regression models with functional responses. The first one is a reformulation of the linear regression model, and the last two are on the yet scarce case of additive nonlinear functional regression models. Both proposals are based on extensions of similar models for scalar responses. One of our nonlinear models is based on constructing a Spectral Additive Model (the word "Spectral" refers to the representation of the covariates in an L_2 basis), which is restricted (by construction) to Hilbertian spaces. The other one extends the kernel estimator, and it can be applied to general metric spaces since it is only based on distances. We include our new approaches as well as real datasets in an R package. The performances of the new proposals are compared with previous ones, which we review theoretically and practically in this paper. The simulation results show the advantages of the nonlinear proposals and the small loss of efficiency when the simulation scenario is truly linear. Finally, the supplementary material provides a visualization tool for checking the linearity of the relationship between a single covariate and the response.
