Stability of exponential functional equations with involutions (Q2249979)

Summary: Let \(S\) be a commutative semigroup if not otherwise specified and \(f:S\to \mathbb R\). In this paper we consider the stability of exponential functional equations \(|f(x+\sigma(y))-g(x)f(y)|\leq \phi(x)\) or \(\phi(y)\), \(|f(x+\sigma(y))-f(x)g(y)|\leq \phi(x)\) or \(\phi(y)\) for all \(x,y\in S\) and where \(\sigma: S\to S\) is an involution. As main results we investigate bounded and unbounded functions satisfying the above inequalities. As consequences of our results we obtain the Ulam-Hyers stability of functional equations (cf.
