Let (G,+) be a locally compact abelian Hausdorff group, 𝓀 is a finite automorphism group of G, κ = card𝒦 and let µ be a regular compactly supported complex-valued Borel measure on G such that
$\mu ({\rm{G}}) = {1 \over \kappa }$

$$\sum\limits_{k \in {\cal K}} {\sum\limits_{\lambda \in {\cal K}} {\int_{\rm{G}} {{\rm{f}}({\rm{x}} + {\rm{k}} \cdot {\rm{y}} + } \lambda \cdot {\rm{s}}){\rm{d}}\mu ({\rm{s}}) = {\rm{g}}({\rm{y}}) + \kappa {\rm{f}}({\rm{x}}),\,{\rm{x}},{\rm{y}} \in {\rm{G}},} } $$
in terms of k-additive mappings. This equations provides a common generalization of many functional equations (quadratic, Jensen’s, Cauchy equations).
Throughout the paper we work in the following framework and with the following notation and terminology. Let G be a group and S be a semigroup (a set with an associative composition rule). Let σ : G → G be an involutive automorphism, that is an homomorphism such that σ • σ = id. If (G; +) is an abelian group, then the inversion σ(x) := −x is an example of an involutive automorphism. Another example is the complex conjugation map on the multiplicative group of non-zero complex numbers. A function A : G → C is called additive, if it satisfies A(xy) = A(x) + A(y) for all x, y ∈ G. A multiplicative function on S is a map µ : S → C such that µ(xy) = µ(x)µ(y) for all x, y ∈ S. A character on a group G is a homomorphism from G into the multiplicative group of non-zero complex numbers. If S is a topological space, then we let C(S) denote the algebra of continuous functions from S into C.
In the present paper we characterize, in terms of characters, multiplicative functions, the continuous solutions of some functional equations for mappings defined on a monoid and taking their values in a complex Hilbert space with the Hadamard product. In addition, we investigate a superstability result for these equations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
