On the superstability of generalized d’Alembert harmonic functions

Abstract The aim of this paper is to study the superstability problem of the d’Alembert type functional equation f(x+y+z)+f(x+y+σ(z))+f(x+σ(y)+z)+f(σ(x)+y+z)=4f(x)f(y)f(z) $$f(x + y + z) + f(x + y + \sigma (z)) + f(x + \sigma (y) + z) + f(\sigma (x) + y + z) = 4f(x)f(y)f(z)$$ for all x, y, z ∈ G, where G is an abelian group and σ : G → G is an endomorphism such that σ(σ(x)) = x for an unknown function f from G into ℂ or into a commutative semisimple Banach algebra.
