The stability of d'Alembert and Jensen type functional equations (Q854043)

The stability of the cosine functional equation \(f(x+y)+f(x-y)=2f(x)f(y)\) known as the d'Alembert equation was proved by \textit{J. A. Baker} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 80, 411--416 (1980; Zbl 0448.39003)]. \textit{R. Badora} and \textit{R. Ger} [Functional equations -- results and advances. Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers. Adv. Math., Dordr. 3, 3--15 (2002; Zbl 1010.39012)] investigated the superstability of the d'Alembert functional equation. The paper is devoted to establish the superstability of the generalized d'Alembert type equations \[ \begin{aligned} f(x+y)+f(x+\sigma y)&=2g(x)f(y), \\ f(x+y)+f(x+\sigma y)&=2f(x)g(y) \end{aligned} \] and the stability of the Jensen type functional equation \(f(x+y)+f(x+\sigma y)=2f(x)\); see also \textit{D. H. Hyers, G. Isac} and \textit{Th. M. Rassias} [Stability of functional equations in several variables. Progress in Nonlinear Differential Equations and their Applications. 34.
