Abstract

This paper treats two functional equations, the Kannppan-Van Vleck functional equation μ(y)f(xτ(y)z0)± f(xyz0) =2f(x)f(y), x,y∈ S and the following variant of it μ(y)f(τ(y)xz0)± f(xyz0) = 2f(x)f(y), x,y∈ S, in the setting of semigroups S that need not be abelian or unital, τ is an involutive morphism of S, μ : S\longrightarrow ℂ is a multiplicative function such that μ(xτ(x))=1 for all x∈ S and z0 is a fixed element in the center of S. We find the complex-valued solutions of these equations in terms of multiplicative functions and solutions of d'Alembert's functional equation.
