Stability of Pexider equations on semigroup with no neutral element (Q2249959)

Summary: Let \(S\) be a commutative semigroup with no neutral element, \(Y\) a Banach space, and \(\mathbb C\) the set of complex numbers. In this paper we prove the Hyers-Ulam stability for Pexider equation \(\|f(x+y)-g(x)-h(y)\| \leq \epsilon\) for all \(x,y \in S\), where \(f,g,h:S \to Y\). Using Jung's theorem we obtain a better bound than that usually obtained. Also, generalizing the result of \textit{J. A. Baker} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 80, 411--416 (1980; Zbl 0448.39003)] we prove the superstability for Pexider-exponential equation \(|f(t+s)-g(t)h(s)| \leq \epsilon\) for all \(t,s \in S\), where \(f,g,h:S \to \mathbb C\). As a direct consequence of the result we also obtain the general solutions of the Pexider-exponential equation \(f(t+s)=g(t)h(s)\) for all \(t,s \in S\), a closed form of which is not yet known.
