Ulam-Hyers stability of trigonometric functional equation with involution (Q886950)

Summary: Let \(S\) and \(G\) be a commutative semigroup and a commutative group, respectively, \(\mathbb C\) and \(\mathbb R^+\) the sets of complex numbers and nonnegative real numbers, respectively, and \(\sigma:S \to S\) or \(\sigma:G \to G\) an involution. In this paper, we first investigate general solutions of the functional equation \(f(x+\sigma y)=f(x)g(y)-g(x)f(y)\) for all \(x,y \in S\), where \(f,g:S \to\mathbb C\). We then prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of the functional equation; that is, we study the functional inequality \(|f(x+\sigma y)-f(x)g(y)+g(x)f(y)| \leq \psi(y)\) for all \(x,y \in G\), where \(f,g:G \to \mathbb C\) and \(\psi:G\to \mathbb R^+\).
