Stability of a generalized trigonometric functional equation (Q972752)

The authors establish the stability of the equation \[ \mathcal{F}(x+y)-\mathcal{G}(x-y)=2\mathcal{H}(x)\mathcal{K}(y), \] where \( \mathcal{F}, \mathcal{G}, \mathcal{H}, \mathcal{K}\) are nonzero functions from an abelian group \(G\) to \(\mathbb{C}\). In fact the equation above contains the known equations such as the sine functional equation, the D'Alembert functional equation and the Wilson functional equation. In the last section they investigate some applications of their main results to the framework of Banach algebras.
