We will investigate the superstability of the sine functional equation from the following
Pexider-type functional equation fxygx−y λ·hxky λ : constant, which can be considered the
mixed functional equation of the sine and cosine functions, the mixed functional equation of the hyperbolic sine and hyperbolic cosine functions, and the exponential-type functional equations
1 Introduction
In 1940, Ulam1 conjectured the stability problem Next year, this problem was affirmatively solved by Hyers2, which is through the following
Let X and Y be Banach spaces with norm · , respectively If f : X → Y satisfies
f
x y− fx − fy ≤ ε, ∀x,y ∈ X, 1.1
then there exists a unique additive mapping A : X → Y such that
f x − Ax ≤ ε, ∀x ∈ X. 1.2
The above result was generalized by Bourgin3 and Aoki 4 in 1949 and 1950 In
1978 and 1982, Hyers’ result was improved by Th M Rassias5 and J M Rassias 6 which
is that the condition bounded by the constant is replaced to the condition bounded by two variables, and thereafter it was improved moreover by Gˇavrut¸a7 to the condition bounded
by the function
Trang 2In 1979, Baker et al.8 showed that if f is a function from a vector space to R satisfying
f
x y− fxfy ≤ ε, 1.3
then either f is bounded or satisfies the exponential functional equation
f
x y fxfy
This method is referred to as the superstability of the functional equation1.4
In this paper, letG, be a uniquely 2 divisible Abelian group, the field of complex
numbers, andthe field of real numbers, the set of positive reals Whenever we only deal withC, G, needs the Abelian which is not 2-divisible.
We may assume that f, g, h and k are nonzero functions, λ, ε is a nonnegative real constant, and ϕ : G → is a mapping
In 1980, the superstability of the cosine functional equation also referred the d’Alembert functional equation
f
x y fx − y 2fxfy
was investigated by Baker9 with the following result: let ε > 0 If f : G → C satisfies
f
x y fx − y− 2fxfy ≤ ε, 1.5
then either|fx| ≤ 1 √1 2ε/2 for all x ∈ G or f is a solution of C Badora 10 in 1998, and Badora and Ger11 in 2002 under the condition |fxyfx−y−2fxfy| ≤ ε, ϕx
or ϕy, respectively Also the stability of the d’Alembert functional equation is founded in
papers12–16
In the present work, the stability question regarding a Pexider-type trigonometric functional equation as a generalization of the cosine equationC is investigated
To be systematic, we first list all functional equations that are of interest here

2 Superstability of the Sine Functional Equation from
the Equation Pλ
fghk
In this section, we will investigate the superstability related to the d’Alembert-type equation
C λ and Wilson-type equation C λ f g, of the sine functional equation S from the Pexider type functional equationP f ghk λ
Theorem 2.1 Suppose that f, g, h, k : G → satisfy the inequality
f
x y gx − y− λ · hxky ≤ ϕx, ∀x,y ∈ G. 2.1
Trang 6If k fails to be bounded, then
i h satisfies S under one of the cases h0 0 or f−x −gx; and
ii In addition, if k satisfies C λ , then h and k are solutions of C λ
f g : hx y hx − y
λh xky.
Proof Let k be unbounded solution of the inequality3.12 Then, there exists a sequence {y n}
in G such that 0 / |ky n | → ∞ as n → ∞.
i Taking y y nin the inequality3.12, dividing both sides by |λky n|, and passing
to the limit as n → ∞, we obtain
h x lim

Replace y by y y nand−y y nin3.12, we have

We conclude that, for every y ∈ G, there exists a limit function

where the function l k : G → satisfies the equation

Applying the case h0 0 in 2.6, it implies that h is odd Keeping this in mind, by
means of2.6, we infer the equality

Trang 7Putting y x in 2.6, we get the equation
h 2x λ · hxl k x, x ∈ G. 2.8 This, in return, leads to the equation
h

h2xh2y
2.9
valid for all x, y ∈ G which, in the light of the unique 2divisibility of G, states nothing else
butS
In the particular case f−x −gx, it is enough to show that h0 0 Suppose that
this is not the case
Putting x 0 in 3.12, due to h0 / 0 and f−x −gx, we obtain the inequality
k
y ≤ ϕ0
λ · |h0| , y ∈ G. 2.10
This inequality means that k is globally bounded, which is a contradiction Thus, since the claimed h0 0 holds, we know that h satisfies S
ii In the case k satisfies C λ , the limit l k states nothing else but k, so, from2.6, h and k validateC λ f g
Theorem 2.2 Suppose that f, g, h, k : G → satisfy the inequality
f
x y gx − y− λ · hxky ≤ ϕy ∀x,y ∈ G. 2.11
If h fails to be bounded, then
i k satisfies S under one of the cases k0 0 or fx −gx
ii in addition, if h satisfies C λ , then k and h are solutions of the equation of C gf λ :
k x y kx − y λhxky.
Proof i Taking x x nin the inequality2.11, dividing both sides by |λ · hx n|, and passing
to the limit as n → ∞, we obtain that
k
y
lim
n→ ∞
f
x n y gx n − y
λ · hx n , x ∈ G. 2.12
Replace x by x n x and x n −x in 2.11 divide by λ·hx n; then it gives us the existence
of the limit function
l h x : lim
n→ ∞
h x n x hx n − x
where the function l h : G → satisfies the equation
k
x y k−x y λ · l h xky
, ∀x, y ∈ G. 2.14
Trang 8Applying the case k0 0 in 2.14, it implies that k is odd.
A similar procedure to that applied after2.6 of Theorem 2.1in 2.14 allows us to
show that k satisfiesS
The case fx −gx is also the same as the reason forTheorem 2.1
ii In the case h satisfies C λ , the limit l h states nothing else but h, so, from2.14,
k and h validateC λ
f g
The following corollaries followly immediate from the Theorems2.1and2.2
Corollary 2.3 Suppose that f, g, h, k : G → satisfy the inequality
f
x y gx − y− λ · hxky 2.15
a If k fails to be bounded, then
i h satisfies S under one of the cases h0 0 or f−x −gx, and
ii in addition, if h satisfies C λ , then h and k are solutions of C λ
f g : hx y hx −
y λhxky.
b If h fails to be bounded, then
iii k satisfies S under one of the cases k0 0 or fx −gx, and
iv in addition, if h satisfies C λ , then h and k are solutions of C λ

y λhxky.
Corollary 2.4 Suppose that f, g, h, k : G → satisfy the inequality
f
x y gx − y− λ · hxky ≤ ε, ∀x,y ∈ G. 2.16
a If k fails to be bounded, then
i h satisfies S under one of the cases h0 0 or f−x −gx, and
ii in addition, if k satisfies C λ , then h and k are solutions of C λ f g : hxyhx−
y λhxky.
b If h fails to be bounded, then
iii k satisfies S under one of the cases k0 0 or fx −gx, and

Replacing k by one of the functions f, g, h in all the results of theSection 2and exchanging
each functions f, g, h in the above equations, we then obtain P λ , C λtypes 14 equations
We will only illustrate the results for the cases of P f ghh λ , P f gf h λ in the obtained equations The other cases are similar to these; thus their illustrations will be omitted
