    \textit{H. Stetkær} [ibid. 90, No. 1, 25--34 (2016; Zbl 1348.39013)] found the complex-valued solution of Van Vleck's functional equation \(f(xy^{-1}z_0) - f(xyz_0) = 2f(x)f(y)\) for each \( x, y \in G\), when \(G\) is a not necessarily an abelian group and \(z_0\) is a fixed element in the center of \(G\). \textit{A. M. Perkins} and \textit{P. K. Sahoo} [ibid. 89, No. 5, 1251--1263 (2015; Zbl 1333.39025)] replaced the group inversion by an involution \(\tau:G\to G\) and they obtained the abelian, complex-valued solutions of the equation \(f(x\tau(y)z_0) - f(xyz_0) = 2f(x)f(y)\) for each \( x, y \in G\). In this paper, the author extends Stetkær's results to the following generalizations of Van Vleck's functional equation for the sine \(\int_S f(x \tau(y)t)d\mu(t) -\int_S f(xyt)d\mu(t) = 2f(x)f(y)\) for each \( x, y \in S\) and of Kannappan's functional equation \(\int_S f(x yt)d\mu(t) +\int_S f(x\tau(y)t)d\mu(t) = 2f(x)f(y)\) for each \( x, y \in S\), where \(S\) is a semigroup, \(\tau\) is an involution of \(S\) and \(\mu\) is a measure that is a linear combination of point measures \((\delta_{z_i})_{i\in I}\) , with \(z_i\) contained in the center of \(S\) for all \(i \in I\).
