Abstract
In this paper, we deduce some hyperstability results for a generalized class of homogeneous Pexiderized functional equations, expressed as , , which is inspired by the concept of Ulam stability. Indeed, we prove that function f that approximately satisfies an equation can, under certain conditions, be considered an exact solution. Domain M is a monoid (semigroup with a neutral element), is a finite subgroup of the automorphisms group of M, ℓ is the cardinality of , and such that denotes an ℓ-cancellative commutative group. We also examine the hyperstability of the given equation in its inhomogeneous version where . Additionally, we apply the main results to elucidate the hyperstability of various functional equations with involutions.

1. Introduction
The stability theory of functional equations is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of the behavior of solutions to functional equations under perturbations. Stability theory has its roots in the work of Ulam [1] (p. 63), who in 1940 posed the following question:
Ulam’s question.
Let be a group and let be a metric group with the metric d. Given , does there exist such that if mapping satisfies the inequality for all , then there exists a homomorphism with for all ?
In 1941, the study of the stability theory of functional equations was initiated by the work of Hyers. In [2], he provided an affirmative partial answer to Ulam’s question for the additive functional equation when E and F are Banach spaces. Hyers’ result was generalized in 1950 by Aoki [3], Bourgin [4], and Rassias [5] for additive mappings and linear mappings, respectively, by considering an unbounded Cauchy difference. In 1994, Găvruţă [6] provided a further generalization of Rassias et al.’s result in which he replaced the bound by a general control positive function for the existence of unique linear mapping.
During that time, a distinct form of stability, known as hyperstability, was established. The hyperstability of a functional equation requires that any mapping satisfying the equation approximately (in some sense) must be a real solution to it. While the term “hyperstability” was coined in 2001 by Maksa [7], the earliest discovery of hyperstability seems to date back to 1949, as introduced by Bourgin in [8]. One of the most famous methods for proving the hyperstability of functional equations is the fixed point approach, which appeared in the past two decades through the contributions of J. Brzdęk and K. Ciepliński [9] to the fixed point theorem, and then other authors. We refer, for example, to [10,11,12,13,14,15,16]. In addition, there are dozens of published papers that are concerned with the hyperstability of functional equations; see, for instance, [17,18,19,20,21].
The simplest form of the Pexiderized functional equation can be expressed as , where and h are functions of a given domain and range and x and y are variables. This form is a generalization of the Cauchy functional equation . The term “Pexiderized” comes from the fact that this form was first introduced by J. V. Pexider in 1903 [22].
In this paper, we deduce some hyperstability results for a generalized class of homogeneous Pexiderized functional equations, expressed as follows:
for functions where domain M is a monoid (a semigroup with a neutral element), is a finite subgroup of the automorphisms group of M, ℓ is the cardinality of (i.e., ), and denotes an ℓ-cancellative commutative group. In 2012, Łukasik [23] established the complete solution for Equation (1) when M is a commutative semigroup. The proof of our main results is based on the development of Pales’ method in [24]. The idea behind this method is to derive an identity for the two-variable function obtained by taking the difference of the left and right sides of the equation under consideration. This method was used, for the first time, in [7], then in [25,26,27]. In addition, the main results allow for the conclusion of many results in the hyperstability of the functional equations with involutions. This paper is designed as follows: In Section 2, we deduce the hyperstability results for Equation (1) and its inhomogeneous version
where . Several results concerning the hyperstability of functional equations with involutions are explained in Section 3 of this paper.
2. The Main Results
This section is devoted to deducing the main hyperstability results of Equation (1) and its inhomogeneous version (2). From now on, we suppose that is a monoid (a semigroup with a neutral element e), is a finite subgroup of the automorphisms group of M, and is an invariant metric ℓ-cancellative commutative group with metric . ℓ-cancellative means that implies , where and . The invariant metric d means that
We write instead of and for all , unless we mention otherwise. From the basic properties of the metric, we have
Hence, by mathematical induction on with , it is easy to show that
for all .
In the next theorem, we prove the hyperstability results for Equation (1).
Theorem 1.
Consider the existence of sequence in M that meets the following conditions:

for all . Using (8), we notice that
for all , and all . In view of (3) and (4), we have
Taking in (10) and applying (11), we deduce that

- For each , we notice that
Letting for all , we obtain the special case of Equation (1) as follows:
As a direct consequence, we conclude the next corollary that corresponds to the hyperstability results of Equation (15), which was studied in [27].
Corollary 1.

We let , and for all Then,
In the next corollary, we present the hyperstability of the inhomogeneous version of Equation (15) that is given as
where .
3. Applications on Functional Equations with Involutions
Automorphism is said to be involution if . The stability of functional equations with involutions was first studied by Bouikhalene et al. [28] in 2007, when they proved the Hyers–Ulam stability of the quadratic functional equation in normed spaces. In 2008, Jung and Lee [29] applied the fixed point method to prove the stability of quadratic functional equations with involutions for a large class of functions. The study of functional equations with involutions has continued to attract the attention of numerous researchers, and the results have been applied in a wide range of mathematical fields, e.g., [30,31,32,33,34,35]. The hyperstability study of this type of functional equations began in 2016 when Almahalebi [25] investigated the hyperstability of -Drygas functional equations with an involution. In 2018, EL-Fassi et al. [26] studied the hyperstability of Pexiderized quadratic functional equations with involutions in semigroups with a neutral element. Additionally, EL Ghali et al. [36] investigated the hyperstability of a Jensen functional equation in non-Archimedean 2-Banach spaces with an involutional homomorphism.
In this section, we apply our main results to prove the hyperstability of some functional equations with involutions .
In 2021, Akkaoui et al. [37] described solutions of the following Pexiderized -quadratic functional equation:
