Abstract

We treat two related trigonometric functional equations on semigroups. First we solve the μ\mu-sine subtraction law μ(y)k(xσ(y))=k(x)l(y)k(y)l(x),x,yS,\mu(y) k(x \sigma(y))=k(x) l(y)-k(y) l(x), \quad x, y \in S, for k,l:SCk, l : S\rightarrow \mathbb{C}, where SS is a semigroup and σ\sigma an involutive automorphism, μ:SC\mu :S\rightarrow \mathbb{C} is a multiplicative function such that μ(xσ(x))=1\mu (x\sigma (x))=1 for all xSx\in S, then we determine the complex-valued solutions of the following functional equation f(xy)μ(y)f(σ(y)x)=g(x)h(y),x,yS,f(xy) - \mu (y)f(\sigma (y)x) = g(x)h(y),\quad x,y\in S, on a larger class of semigroups.
