On functional equations associated with characters of unitary representations of groups.
We generalize the well known separation theorems for subadditive and superadditive functionals to some classes of not necessarily Abelian semigroups. We also consider the problem of supporting subadditive functionals by additive ones in the not necessarily commutative case. Our results are motivated by similar extensions of the Hyers stability theorem for the Cauchy functional equation. In this context the so-called weakly commutative and amenable semigroups appear naturally. The relations between...
Let Y be a subgroup of an abelian group X and let T be a given collection of subsets of a linear space E over the rationals. Moreover, suppose that F is a subadditive set-valued function defined on X with values in T. We establish some conditions under which every additive selection of the restriction of F to Y can be extended to an additive selection of F. We also present some applications of results of this type to the stability of functional equations.
