The superstability of d'Alembert's functional equation on step 2 nilpotent groups (Q2474094)

A group \(G\) is called a step 2 nilpotent, if its commutator subgroup is contained in the center of \(G\). The functional equation \(E(\psi)=0\) is superstable if the boundedness of \(E(\psi)\) implies that either \(\psi\) is bounded or \(\psi\) is a solution of the functional equation \(E(\psi)=0\). \textit{J. Baker} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 80, 411--416 (1980; Zbl 0448.39003)] solved the superstability problem of the short d'Alembert's functional equation \[ f(xy)+f(xy^{-1})=2f(x)f(y)\quad x,y\in G \] on Abelian groups. In this paper the authors investigate the superstability problem of the short d'Alembert's functional equation and the long d'Alembert's functional equation \[ f(xy)+f(yx)+f(xy^{-1})+f(y^{-1}x)=4f(x)f(y)\quad x,y\in G \] in step 2 nilpotent groups.
