On Tabor groupoids and stability of some functional equations (Q2248835)

A groupoid \(S\) is called a Tabor groupoid if for each \(x, y\in S\) there exists \(k\in \mathbb N\) such that \((xy)^{2^k}=x^{2^k}y^{2^k}\). Let \(S\) be a Tabor groupoid and \(A\) be a bounded closed subset of a Banach space \(E\) and \(f:S\to E\) be a mapping. The authors prove that the following conditions are equivalent: {\parindent=8mm\begin{itemize}\item[(i)] \(f=a+r\), where \(a: S \to E\) is additive and \(r(x)\in A\) for each \(x\in A\). \item[(ii)] There exist bounded subsets \(B, C\) of \(E\) such that \(f(xy)-f(x)-f(y)\in B\) and \(2^kf(x)-f(x^{2^k})\in 2^kA+C\) for each \(x,y\in S\), \(k\in \mathbb N\). \end{itemize}} They also prove the stability of the equation \[ \max\{f((xy)y), f(x)\}=f(xy)+f(y) \] in some special cases.
