Valette Abstract. It is shown that every almost linear mapping h: A → B of a unital Lie JC ∗ -algebra A to a unital Lie JC ∗ -algebra B is a Lie JC ∗ algebra homomorphism when h(2n u ◦ y) = h(2n u) ◦ h(y) , h(3n u ◦ y) = h(3n u)◦h(y) or h(q n u◦y) = h(q n u)◦h(y) for all y ∈ A , all unitary elements u ∈ A and n = 0, 1, 2, · · · , and that every almost linear almost multiplicative mapping h: A → B is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism when h(2x) = 2h(x) , h(3x) = 3h(x) or h(qx)qh(x) for all x ∈ A . Here the numbers 2, 3, q depend on the functional equations given in the almost linear mappings or in the almost linear almost multiplicative mappings. Moreover, we prove the Cauchy–Rassias stability of Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphisms in Lie JC ∗ algebras, and of Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivations in Lie JC ∗ -algebras.

Introduction The original motivation to introduce the class of nonassociative algebras known as Jordan algebras came from quantum mechanics (see [18]). Let L(H) be the real vector space of all bounded self-adjoint linear operators on H , interpreted as the (bounded) observables of the system. In 1932, Jordan observed that L(H) . is a (nonassociative) algebra via the anticommutator product x ◦ y := xy+yx 2 A commutative algebra X with product x ◦ y is called a Jordan algebra. A unital Jordan C ∗ -subalgebra of a C ∗ -algebra, endowed with the anticommutator product, is called a JC ∗ -algebra. A unital C ∗ -algebra C , endowed with the Lie product [x, y] = xy−yx 2 on C , is called a Lie C ∗ -algebra. A unital C ∗ -algebra C , endowed with the Lie product [·, ·] and the anticommutator product ◦, is called a Lie JC ∗ -algebra if (C, ◦) is a JC ∗ -algebra and (C, [·, ·]) is a Lie C ∗ -algebra (see [5], [6]). ∗ Supported by grant No. R05-2003-000-10006-0 from the Basic Research Program of the Korea Science & Engineering Foundation. c Heldermann Verlag ISSN 0949–5932 / $2.50 394 Park Let X and Y be Banach spaces with norms || · || and k · k , respectively. Consider f : X → Y to be a mapping such that f (tx) is continuous in t ∈ R for each fixed x ∈ X . Assume that there exist constants θ ≥ 0 and p ∈ [0, 1) such that kf (x + y) − f (x) − f (y)k ≤ θ(||x||p + ||y||p ) for all x, y ∈ X . Rassias [11] showed that there exists a unique R -linear mapping T : X → Y such that kf (x) − T (x)k ≤ 2θ ||x||p p 2−2 for all x ∈ X . Găvruta [1] generalized the Rassias’ result: Let G be an abelian group and Y a Banach space. Denote by ϕ : G × G → [0, ∞) a function such that ∞ X ϕ(x, e y) = 2−j ϕ(2j x, 2j y) < ∞ j=0 for all x, y ∈ G . Suppose that f : G → Y is a mapping satisfying kf (x + y) − f (x) − f (y)k ≤ ϕ(x, y) for all x, y ∈ G . Then there exists a unique additive mapping T : G → Y such that 1 e x) kf (x) − T (x)k ≤ ϕ(x, 2 for all x ∈ G . C. Park [7] applied the Găvruta’s result to linear functional equations in Banach modules over a C ∗ -algebra. Jun and Lee [2] proved the following: Denote by ϕ : X \ {0} × X \ {0} → [0, ∞) a function such that ϕ(x, e y) = ∞ X 3−j ϕ(3j x, 3j y) < ∞ j=0 for all x, y ∈ X \ {0} . Suppose that f : X → Y is a mapping satisfying k2f ( x+y ) − f (x) − f (y)k ≤ ϕ(x, y) 2 for all x, y ∈ X \ {0} . Then there exists a unique additive mapping T : X → Y such that 1 kf (x) − f (0) − T (x)| ≤ (ϕ(x, e −x) + ϕ(−x, e 3x)) 3 for all x ∈ X \ {0}. C. Park and W. Park [9] applied the Jun and Lee’s result to the Jensen’s equation in Banach modules over a C ∗ -algebra. l Recently, Trif [17] proved the following: Let q := l(d−1) and r := − d−l . d−l d Denote by ϕ : X → [0, ∞) a function such that ϕ(x e 1 , · · · , xd ) = ∞ X j=0 q −j ϕ(q j x1 , · · · , q j xd ) < ∞ 395 Park for all x1 , · · · , xd ∈ X .

Then there exists a unique additive mapping T : X → Y such that 1 kf (x) − f (0) − T (x)k ≤ ϕ(qx, e rx, · · · , rx) | {z } l · d−1 Cl−1 d−1 times for all x ∈ X . And C. Park [8] applied the Trif’s result to the Trif functional equation in Banach modules over a C ∗ -algebra. Several authors have investigated functional equations (see [10]–[16]). l Throughout this paper, let q = l(d−1) d−l and r = − d−l for positive integers l, d with 2 ≤ l ≤ d − 1 . Let A be a unital Lie JC ∗ -algebra with norm || · || , unit e and unitary group U (A) = {u ∈ A | uu∗ = u∗ u = e} , and B a unital Lie JC ∗ -algebra with norm k · k and unit e0 . Using the stability methods of linear functional equations, we prove that every almost linear mapping h : A → B is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism when h(2n u ◦ y) = h(2n u) ◦ h(y) , h(3n u ◦ y) = h(3n u) ◦ h(y) or h(q n u ◦ y) = h(q n u) ◦ h(y) for all y ∈ A , all u ∈ U (A) and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, and that every almost linear almost multiplicative mapping h : A → B is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism when h(2x) = 2h(x) , h(3x) = 3h(x) or h(qx) = qh(x) for all x ∈ A. We moreover prove the Cauchy–Rassias stability of Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphisms in unital Lie JC ∗ -algebras, and of Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivations in unital Lie JC ∗ -algebras. 2. Homomorphisms between Lie JC ∗ -algebras Definition 2.1. A C -linear mapping H : A → B is called a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism if H : A → B satisfies H(x ◦ y) = H(x) ◦ H(y), H([x, y]) = [H(x), H(y)], H(x∗ ) = H(x)∗ for all x, y ∈ A. Remark 2.1. A C -linear mapping H : A → B is a C ∗ -algebra homomorphism if and only if the mapping H : A → B is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism. Assume that H is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism. Then H(xy) = H([x, y] + x ◦ y) = H([x, y]) + H(x ◦ y) = [H(x), H(y)] + H(x) ◦ H(y) = H(x)H(y) 396 Park for all x, y ∈ A. So H is a C ∗ -algebra homomorphism. Assume that H is a C ∗ -algebra homomorphism. Then H(x)H(y) − H(y)H(x) xy − yx )= = [H(x), H(y)], 2 2 H(x)H(y) + H(y)H(x) xy + yx H(x ◦ y) = H( )= = H(x) ◦ H(y) 2 2 H([x, y] = H( for all x, y ∈ A. So H is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism. We are going to investigate Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphisms between ∗ Lie JC -algebras associated with the Cauchy functional equation. Theorem 2.1. Let h : A → B be a mapping satisfying h(0) = 0 and n n h(2 u ◦ y) = h(2 u) ◦ h(y) for all y ∈ A, all u ∈ U (A) and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, for which there exists a function ϕ : A4 → [0, ∞) such that ϕ(x, e y, z, w) := ∞ X 2−j ϕ(2j x, 2j y, 2j z, 2j w) < ∞, (2.i) j=0 kh(µx + µy + [z, w]) − µh(x) − µh(y) − [h(z), h(w)]k ≤ ϕ(x, y, z, w), n ∗ n ∗ kh(2 u ) − h(2 u) k ≤ ϕ(2n u, 2n u, 0, 0) (2.ii) (2.iii) for all µ ∈ T1 := {λ ∈ C | |λ| = 1}, all u ∈ U (A), all x, y, z, w ∈ A and n n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·. Assume that (2.iv) limn→∞ h(22n e) = e0 . Then the mapping h : A → B is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism. Proof. Put z = w = 0 and µ = 1 ∈ T1 in (2.ii). It follows from Găvruta’s Theorem [1] that there exists a unique additive mapping H : A → B such that kh(x) − H(x)k ≤ 1 ϕ(x, e x, 0, 0) 2 (2.0) for all x ∈ A. The additive mapping H : A → B is given by 1 h(2n x) n→∞ 2n H(x) = lim (2.1) for all x ∈ A. By the assumption, for each µ ∈ T1 , kh(2n µx) − 2µh(2n−1 x)k ≤ ϕ(2n−1 x, 2n−1 x, 0, 0) for all x ∈ A. And one can show that kµh(2n x) − 2µh(2n−1 x)k ≤ |µ| · kh(2n x) − 2h(2n−1 x)k ≤ ϕ(2n−1 x, 2n−1 x, 0, 0) for all µ ∈ T1 and all x ∈ A. So kh(2n µx) − µh(2n x)k ≤kh(2n µx) − 2µh(2n−1 x)k + k2µh(2n−1 x) − µh(2n x)k ≤ϕ(2n−1 x, 2n−1 x, 0, 0) + ϕ(2n−1 x, 2n−1 x, 0, 0) 397 Park for all µ ∈ T1 and all x ∈ A. Thus 2−n kh(2n µx) − µh(2n x)k → 0 as n → ∞ for all µ ∈ T1 and all x ∈ A. Hence h(2n µx) µh(2n x) = lim = µH(x) n→∞ n→∞ 2n 2n H(µx) = lim (2.2) for all µ ∈ T1 and all x ∈ A. Now let λ ∈ C (λ 6= 0) and M an integer greater than 4|λ|. Then λ |M | < 14 < 1 − 23 = 13 . By [3, Theorem 1], there exist three elements µ1 , µ2 , µ3 ∈ λ T1 such that 3 M = µ1 + µ2 + µ3 . And H(x) = H(3 · 31 x) = 3H( 31 x) for all x ∈ A . So H( 31 x) = 13 H(x) for all x ∈ A . Thus by (2.2) M λ 1 λ M λ · 3 x) = M · H( · 3 x) = H(3 x) 3 M 3 M 3 M M M H(µ1 x + µ2 x + µ3 x) = (H(µ1 x) + H(µ2 x) + H(µ3 x)) = 3 3 M M λ (µ1 + µ2 + µ3 )H(x) = · 3 H(x) = 3 3 M = λH(x) H(λx) = H( for all x ∈ A. Hence H(ζx + ηy) = H(ζx) + H(ηy) = ζH(x) + ηH(y) for all ζ, η ∈ C(ζ, η 6= 0) and all x, y ∈ A. And H(0x) = 0 = 0H(x) for all x ∈ A . So the unique additive mapping H : A → B is a C -linear mapping. Since h(2n u ◦ y) = h(2n u) ◦ h(y) for all y ∈ A, all u ∈ U (A) and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, 1 1 h(2n u ◦ y) = lim n h(2n u) ◦ h(y) = H(u) ◦ h(y) n n→∞ 2 n→∞ 2 H(u ◦ y) = lim (2.3) for all y ∈ A and all u ∈ U (A) . By the additivity of H and (2.3), 2n H(u ◦ y) = H(2n u ◦ y) = H(u ◦ (2n y)) = H(u) ◦ h(2n y) for all y ∈ A and all u ∈ U (A) . Hence H(u ◦ y) = 1 1 H(u) ◦ h(2n y) = H(u) ◦ n h(2n y) n 2 2 (2.4) for all y ∈ A and all u ∈ U (A) . Taking the limit in (2.4) as n → ∞, we obtain H(u ◦ y) = H(u) ◦ H(y) (2.5) for all y ∈ A and all u ∈ U (A) . Since H is C -linear and each x ∈ A is a finite Pm linear combination of unitary elements (see [4, Theorem 4.1.7]), i.e., x = j=1 λj uj (λj ∈ C, uj ∈ U (A)) , m m m X X X λj uj ◦ y) = λj H(uj ◦ y) = λj H(uj ) ◦ H(y) H(x ◦ y) = H( j=1 m X = H( j=1 j=1 λj uj ) ◦ H(y) = H(x) ◦ H(y) j=1 398 Park for all x, y ∈ A. By (2.iv), (2.3) and (2.5), H(y) = H(e ◦ y) = H(e) ◦ h(y) = e0 ◦ h(y) = h(y) for all y ∈ A. So H(y) = h(y) for all y ∈ A. It follows from (2.1) that h(22n x) n→∞ 22n H(x) = lim (2.6) for all x ∈ A. Let x = y = 0 in (2.ii). Then we get kh([z, w]) − [h(z), h(w)]k ≤ ϕ(0, 0, z, w) for all z, w ∈ A. So 1 1 kh([2n z, 2n w]) − [h(2n z), h(2n w)]k ≤ 2n ϕ(0, 0, 2n z, 2n w) 2n 2 2 1 ≤ n ϕ(0, 0, 2n z, 2n w) 2 (2.7) for all z, w ∈ A. By (2.i), (2.6), and (2.7), h(22n [z, w]) h([2n z, 2n w]) = lim n→∞ n→∞ 22n 22n 1 h(2n z) h(2n w) = lim 2n [h(2n z), h(2n w)] = lim [ , ] n→∞ 2 n→∞ 2n 2n = [H(z), H(w)] H([z, w]) = lim for all z, w ∈ A. By (2.i) and (2.iii), we get h(2n u∗ ) h(2n u)∗ h(2n u) ∗ = lim = ( lim ) n→∞ n→∞ n→∞ 2n 2n 2n = H(u)∗ H(u∗ ) = lim for all u ∈ U (A) . Since H : A → B is C -linear Pm and each x ∈ A is a finite linear combination of unitary elements, i.e., x = j=1 λj uj (λj ∈ C, uj ∈ U (A)) , m m m X X X H(x∗ ) = H( λj u∗j ) = λj H(u∗j ) = λj H(uj )∗ j=1 m X j=1 j=1 m X λj H(uj ))∗ = H( =( j=1 λj uj )∗ = H(x)∗ j=1 for all x ∈ A. Therefore, the mapping h : A → B is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism, as desired. Park 399 Corollary 2.2. Let h : A → B be a mapping satisfying h(0) = 0 and n n h(2 u ◦ y) = h(2 u) ◦ h(y) for all y ∈ A, all u ∈ U (A) and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, for which there exist constants θ ≥ 0 and p ∈ [0, 1) such that kh(µx + µy + [z, w])−µh(x) − µh(y) − [h(z), h(w)]k ≤ θ(||x||p + ||y||p + ||z||p + ||w||p ), kh(2n u∗ ) − h(2n u)∗ k ≤ 2 · 2np θ for all µ ∈ T1 , all u ∈ U (A), all x, y, z, w ∈ A and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·. Assume n that limn→∞ h(22n e) = e0 . Then the mapping h : A → B is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism. Proof. Define ϕ(x, y, z, w) = θ(||x||p + ||y||p + ||z||p + ||w||p ) , and apply Theorem 2.1. Theorem 2.3. Let h : A → B be a mapping satisfying h(0) = 0 and h(2n u ◦ y) = h(2n u) ◦ h(y) for all y ∈ A, all u ∈ U (A) and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, for which there exists a function ϕ : A4 → [0, ∞) satisfying (2.i), (2.iii) and (2.iv) such that kh(µx + µy + [z, w]) − µh(x) − µh(y) − [h(z), h(w)]k ≤ ϕ(x, y, z, w) (2.v) for µ = 1, i, and all x, y, z, w ∈ A. If h(tx) is continuous in t ∈ R for each fixed x ∈ A, then the mapping h : A → B is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism. Proof. Put z = w = 0 and µ = 1 in (2.v). By the same reasoning as in the proof of Theorem 2.1, there exists a unique additive mapping H : A → B satisfying (2.0). The additive mapping H : A → B is given by 1 h(2n x) n→∞ 2n H(x) = lim for all x ∈ A. By the same reasoning as in the proof of [11, Theorem], the additive mapping H : A → B is R -linear. Put y = z = w = 0 and µ = i in (2.v). By the same method as in the proof of Theorem 2.1, one can obtain that h(2n ix) ih(2n x) = lim = iH(x) n→∞ n→∞ 2n 2n H(ix) = lim for all x ∈ A. For each element λ ∈ C , λ = s + it, where s, t ∈ R . So H(λx) = H(sx + itx) = sH(x) + tH(ix) = sH(x) + itH(x) = (s + it)H(x) = λH(x) for all λ ∈ C and all x ∈ A. So H(ζx + ηy) = H(ζx) + H(ηy) = ζH(x) + ηH(y) for all ζ, η ∈ C , and all x, y ∈ A . Hence the additive mapping H : A → B is C -linear. The rest of the proof is the same as in the proof of Theorem 2.1. 400 Park Theorem 2.4. Let h : A → B be a mapping satisfying h(2x) = 2h(x) for all x ∈ A for which there exists a function ϕ : A4 → [0, ∞) satisfying (2.i), (2.ii), (2.iii) and (2.iv) such that kh(2n u ◦ y) − h(2n u) ◦ h(y)k ≤ ϕ(u, y, 0, 0) (2.vi) for all y ∈ A, all u ∈ U (A) and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·. Then the mapping h : A → B is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism. Proof. By the same reasoning as in the proof of Theorem 2.1, there exists a unique C -linear mapping H : A → B satisfying (2.0). By (2.vi) and the assumption that h(2x) = 2h(x) for all x ∈ A, 1 kh(2m 2n u ◦ 2m y) − h(2m 2n u) ◦ h(2m y)k 4m 1 1 ≤ m ϕ(2m u, 2m y, 0, 0) ≤ m ϕ(2m u, 2m y, 0, 0), 4 2 kh(2n u ◦ y) − h(2n u) ◦ h(y)k = which tends to zero as m → ∞ by (2.i). So h(2n u ◦ y) = h(2n u) ◦ h(y) for all y ∈ A, all u ∈ U (A) and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·. But by (2.1), 1 h(2n x) = h(x) n→∞ 2n H(x) = lim for all x ∈ A. The rest of the proof is the same as in the proof of Theorem 2.1. Now we are going to investigate Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphisms between Lie JC ∗ -algebras associated with the Jensen functional equation. Theorem 2.5. Let h : A → B be a mapping satisfying h(0) = 0 and n n h(3 u ◦ y) = h(3 u) ◦ h(y) for all y ∈ A, all u ∈ U (A) and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, for which there exists a function ϕ : (A \ {0})4 → [0, ∞) such that ϕ(x, e y, z, w) := ∞ X 3−j ϕ(3j x, 3j y, 3j z, 3j w) < ∞, (2.vii) j=0 k2h( µx + µy + [z, w] ) − µh(x) − µh(y)−[h(z), h(w)]k 2 ≤ ϕ(x, y, z, w), n ∗ n ∗ kh(3 u ) − h(3 u) k ≤ϕ(3n u, 3n u, 0, 0) (2.viii) (2.ix) for all µ ∈ T1 , all u ∈ U (A), all x, y, z, w ∈ A and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·. Assume n that limn→∞ h(33n e) = e0 . Then the mapping h : A → B is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism. Park 401 Proof. Put z = w = 0 and µ = 1 ∈ T1 in (2.viii). It follows from Jun and Lee’s Theorem [2, Theorem 1] that there exists a unique additive mapping H : A → B such that kh(x) − H(x)k ≤ 1 (ϕ(x, e −x, 0, 0) + ϕ(−x, e 3x, 0, 0)) 3 for all x ∈ A \ {0}. The additive mapping H : A → B is given by 1 h(3n x) n→∞ 3n H(x) = lim for all x ∈ A. By the assumption, for each µ ∈ T1 , k2h(3n µx) − µh(2 · 3n−1 x) − µh(4 · 3n−1 x)k ≤ ϕ(2 · 3n−1 x, 4 · 3n−1 x, 0, 0) for all x ∈ A \ {0} . And one can show that kµh(2 · 3n−1 x) + µh(4 · 3n−1 x) − 2µh(3n x)k ≤ |µ| · kh(2 · 3n−1 x) + h(4 · 3n−1 x) − 2h(3n x)k ≤ ϕ(2 · 3n−1 x, 4 · 3n−1 x, 0, 0) for all µ ∈ T1 and all x ∈ A \ {0}. So 1 1 kh(3n µx) − µh(3n x)k =kh(3n µx) − µh(2 · 3n−1 x) − µh(4 · 3n−1 x) 2 2 1 1 + µh(2 · 3n−1 x) + µh(4 · 3n−1 x) − µh(3n x)k 2 2 1 ≤ k2h(3n µx) − µh(2 · 3n−1 x) − µh(4 · 3n−1 x)k 2 1 + kµh(2 · 3n−1 x) + µh(4 · 3n−1 x) − 2µh(3n x)k 2 2 ≤ ϕ(2 · 3n−1 x, 4 · 3n−1 x, 0, 0) 2 for all µ ∈ T1 and all x ∈ A \ {0} . Thus 3−n kh(3n µx) − µh(3n x)k → 0 as n → ∞ for all µ ∈ T1 and all x ∈ A \ {0}. Hence h(3n µx) µh(3n x) = lim = µH(x) n→∞ n→∞ 3n 3n H(µx) = lim for all µ ∈ T1 and all x ∈ A \ {0}. By the same reasoning as in the proof of Theorem 2.1, the unique additive mapping H : A → B is a C -linear mapping. By a similar method to the proof of Theorem 2.1, one can show that the mapping h : A → B is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism. 402 Park Corollary 2.6. Let h : A → B be a mapping satisfying h(0) = 0 and n n h(3 u ◦ y) = h(3 u) ◦ h(y) for all y ∈ A, all u ∈ U (A) and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, for which there exist constants θ ≥ 0 and p ∈ [0, 1) such that µx + µy + [z, w] k2h( )−µh(x) − µh(y) − [h(z), h(w)]k 2 ≤ θ(||x||p + ||y||p + ||z||p + ||w||p ), kh(3n u∗ ) − h(3n u)∗ k ≤ 2 · 3np θ for all µ ∈ T1 , all u ∈ U (A), all x, y, z, w ∈ A \ {0} and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·. Assume n that limn→∞ h(33n e) = e0 . Then the mapping h : A → B is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism. Proof. Define ϕ(x, y, z, w) = θ(||x||p + ||y||p + ||z||p + ||w||p ) , and apply Theorem 2.5. One can obtain similar results to Theorems 2.3 and 2.4 for the Jensen functional equation. Finally, we are going to investigate Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphisms between Lie JC ∗ -algebras associated with the Trif functional equation. Theorem 2.7. Let h : A → B be a mapping satisfying h(0) = 0 and h(q n u ◦ y) = h(q n u) ◦ h(y) for all y ∈ A , all u ∈ U (A) and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, for which there exists a function ϕ : Ad+2 → [0, ∞) such that ϕ(x e 1 , · · · , xd , z, w) := ∞ X q −j ϕ(q j x1 , · · · ,q j xd , q j z, q j w) < ∞, (2.x) j=0 kd d X [z, w] µx1 + · · · + µxd + )+d−2 Cl−1 µh(xj ) d d d−2 Cl−2 j=1 X xj + · · · + xjl ) − [h(z), h(w)]k −l µh( 1 l d−2 Cl−2 h( (2.xi) 1≤j1 <···<jl ≤d ≤ϕ(x1 , · · · , xd , z, w), kh(q n u∗ ) − h(q n u)∗ k ≤ϕ(q n u, · · · , q n u, 0, 0) (2.xii) | {z } d times 1 for all µ ∈ T , all u ∈ U (A), all x1 , · · · , xd , z, w ∈ A and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·. n Assume that limn→∞ h(qqn e) = e0 . Then the mapping h : A → B is a Lie JC ∗ algebra homomorphism. Proof. Put z = w = 0 and µ = 1 ∈ T1 in (2.xi). It follows from Trif’s Theorem [17, Theorem 3.1] that there exists a unique additive mapping H : A → B such that 1 kh(x) − H(x)k ≤ ϕ(qx, e rx, · · · , rx, 0, 0) | {z } l · d−1 Cl−1 d−1 times for all x ∈ A. The additive mapping H : A → B is given by 1 H(x) = lim n h(q n x) n→∞ q for all x ∈ A. 403 Park Put x1 = · · · = xd = x and z = w = 0 in (2.xi). For each µ ∈ T1 , kd d−2 Cl−2 (h(µx) − µh(x))k ≤ ϕ(x, · · · , x, 0, 0) | {z } d times for all x ∈ A. So q −n kd d−2 Cl−2 (h(µq n x) − µh(q n x))k ≤ q −n ϕ(q n x, · · · , q n x, 0, 0) {z } | d times for all x ∈ A. By (2.x), q −n kd d−2 Cl−2 (h(µq n x) − µh(q n x))k → 0 as n → ∞ for all µ ∈ T1 and all x ∈ A. Thus q −n kh(µq n x) − µh(q n x)k → 0 as n → ∞ for all µ ∈ T1 and all x ∈ A. Hence h(q n µx) µh(q n x) H(µx) = lim = lim = µH(x) n→∞ n→∞ qn qn for all µ ∈ T1 and all x ∈ A. By the same reasoning as in the proof of Theorem 2.1, the unique additive mapping H : A → B is a C -linear mapping. By a similar method to the proof of Theorem 2.1, one can show that the mapping h : A → B is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism. Corollary 2.8. Let h : A → B be a mapping satisfying h(0) = 0 and n n h(q u ◦ y) = h(q u) ◦ h(y) for all y ∈ A, all u ∈ U (A) and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, for which there exist constants θ ≥ 0 and p ∈ [0, 1) such that d X µx1 + · · · + µxd [z, w] kd d−2 Cl−2 h( + ) + d−2 Cl−1 µh(xj ) d d d−2 Cl−2 j=1 X xj1 + · · · + xjl −l µh( ) − [h(z), h(w)]k l 1≤j1 <···<jl ≤d d X ≤ θ( ||xj ||p + ||z||p + ||w||p ), j=1 n ∗ n ∗ kh(q u ) − h(q u) k ≤ dq np θ for all µ ∈ T1 , all u ∈ U (A), all x1 , · · · , xd , z, w ∈ A and n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·. n Assume that limn→∞ h(qqn e) = e0 . Then the mapping h : A → B is a Lie JC ∗ algebra homomorphism. Pd Proof. Define ϕ(x1 , · · · , xd , z, w) = θ( j=1 ||xj ||p + ||z||p + ||w||p ) , and apply Theorem 2.7. One can obtain similar results to Theorems 2.3 and 2.4 for the Trif functional equation. 404 Park 3. Stability of Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphisms in Lie JC ∗ -algebras We are going to show the Cauchy–Rassias stability of Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphisms in Lie JC ∗ -algebras associated with the Cauchy functional equation. Theorem 3.1. Let h : A → B be a mapping with h(0) = 0 for which there exists a function ϕ : A6 → [0, ∞) such that ϕ(x, e y, z, w, a, b) := ∞ X 2−j ϕ(2j x, 2j y, 2j z, 2j w, 2j a, 2j b) < ∞, (3.i) j=0 kh(µx + µy + [z, w] + a ◦ b) − µh(x) − µh(y) − [h(z), h(w)] − h(a) ◦ h(b)k ≤ ϕ(x, y, z, w, a, b), (3.ii) n ∗ n ∗ n n kh(2 u ) − h(2 u) k ≤ ϕ(2 u, 2 u, 0, 0, 0, 0) (3.iii) for all µ ∈ T1 , all u ∈ U (A), n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, and all x, y, z, w, a, b ∈ A . Then there exists a unique Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism H : A → B such that kh(x) − H(x)k ≤ 1 ϕ(x, e x, 0, 0, 0, 0) 2 (3.iv) for all x ∈ A. Proof. Put z = w = a = b = 0 and µ = 1 ∈ T1 in (3.ii). It follows from Găvruta’s Theorem [1] that there exists a unique additive mapping H : A → B satisfying (3.iv). The additive mapping H : A → B is given by 1 h(2n x) n→∞ 2n H(x) = lim for all x ∈ A. The rest of the proof is similar to the proof of Theorem 2.1. Corollary 3.2. Let h : A → B be a mapping with h(0) = 0 for which there exist constants θ ≥ 0 and p ∈ [0, 1) such that kh(µx + µy + [z, w] + a ◦ b) − µh(x) − µh(y) − [h(z), h(w)] − h(a) ◦ h(b)k ≤ θ(||x||p + ||y||p + ||z||p + ||w||p + ||a||p + ||b||p ), kh(2n u∗ ) − h(2n u)∗ k ≤ 2 · 2np θ for all µ ∈ T1 , all u ∈ U (A), n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, and all x, y, z, w, a, b ∈ A . Then there exists a unique Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism H : A → B such that kh(x) − H(x)k ≤ 2θ ||x||p 2 − 2p for all x ∈ A. Proof. Define ϕ(x, y, z, w, a, b) = θ(||x||p +||y||p +||z||p +||w||p +||a||p +||b||p ) , and apply Theorem 3.1. 405 Park Theorem 3.3. Let h : A → B be a mapping with h(0) = 0 for which there exists a function ϕ : A6 → [0, ∞) satisfying (3.i) and (3.iii) such that kh(µx + µy + [z, w] + a ◦ b) − µh(x) − µh(y)−[h(z), h(w)] − h(a) ◦ h(b)k ≤ ϕ(x, y, z, w, a, b) for µ = 1, i, and all x, y, z, w, a, b ∈ A. If h(tx) is continuous in t ∈ R for each fixed x ∈ A, then there exists a unique Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism H : A → B satisfying (3.iv). Proof. The proof is similar to the proof of Theorem 2.3. We are going to show the Cauchy–Rassias stability of Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphisms in Lie JC ∗ -algebras associated with the Jensen functional equation. Theorem 3.4. Let h : A → B be a mapping with h(0) = 0 for which there exists a function ϕ : (A \ {0})6 → [0, ∞) such that ϕ(x, e y, z, w, a, b) = ∞ X 3−j ϕ(3j x, 3j y, 3j z, 3j w, 3j a, 3j b) < ∞, (3.v) j=0 k2h( µx + µy + [z, w] + a ◦ b ) − µh(x) − µh(y) − [h(z), h(w)] − h(a) ◦ h(b)k 2 ≤ ϕ(x, y, z, w, a, b), (3.vi) n ∗ n ∗ n n kh(3 u ) − h(3 u) k ≤ϕ(3 u, 3 u, 0, 0, 0, 0) (3.vii) for all µ ∈ T1 , all u ∈ U (A), n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, and all x, y, z, w, a, b ∈ A \ {0}. Then there exists a unique Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism H : A → B such that kh(x) − H(x)k ≤ 1 (ϕ(x, e −x, 0, 0, 0, 0) + ϕ(−x, e 3x, 0, 0, 0, 0)) 3 (3.viii) for all x ∈ A \ {0} . Proof. Put z = w = a = b = 0 and µ = 1 ∈ T1 in (3.vi). It follows from Jun and Lee’s Theorem [2, Theorem 1] that there exists a unique additive mapping H : A → B satisfying (3.viii). The additive mapping H : A → B is given by 1 h(3n x) n→∞ 3n H(x) = lim for all x ∈ A. The rest of the proof is similar to the proof of Theorem 2.5. Corollary 3.5. Let h : A → B be a mapping with h(0) = 0 for which there exist constants θ ≥ 0 and p ∈ [0, 1) such that k2h( µx + µy + [z, w] + a ◦ b ) − µh(x) − µh(y) − [h(z), h(w)] − h(a) ◦ h(b)k 2 ≤ θ(||x||p + ||y||p + ||z||p + ||w||p + ||a||p + ||b||p ), kh(3n u∗ ) − h(3n u)∗ k ≤ 2 · 3np θ 406 Park for all µ ∈ T1 , all u ∈ U (A), n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, and all x, y, z, w, a, b ∈ A \ {0}. Then there exists a unique Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism H : A → B such that 3 + 3p kh(x) − H(x)k ≤ θ||x||p p 3−3 for all x ∈ A \ {0} . Proof. Define ϕ(x, y, z, w, a, b) = θ(||x||p +||y||p +||z||p +||w||p +||a||p +||b||p ) , and apply Theorem 3.4. One can obtain a similar result to Theorem 3.3 for the Jensen functional equation. Now we are going to show the Cauchy–Rassias stability of Lie JC ∗ algebra homomorphisms in Lie JC ∗ -algebras associated with the Trif functional equation. Theorem 3.6. Let h : A → B be a mapping with h(0) = 0 for which there exists a function ϕ : Ad+4 → [0, ∞) such that ϕ(x e 1 , · · · , xd , z, w, a, b) := ∞ X q −j ϕ(q j x1 , · · · ,q j xd , q j z, q j w, q j a, q j b) j=0 < ∞, kd (3.ix) d X µx1 + · · · + µxd [z, w] + a ◦ b + ) + d−2 Cl−1 µh(xj ) d d d−2 Cl−2 j=1 X xj1 + · · · + xjl ) − [h(z),h(w)] − h(a) ◦ h(b)k (3.x) µh( l d−2 Cl−2 h( −l 1≤j1 <···<jl ≤d ≤ ϕ(x1 , · · · , xd , z, w, a, b), kh(q u ) − h(q u) k ≤ ϕ(q u, · · · , q n u,0, 0, 0, 0) | {z } n ∗ n ∗ n (3.xi) d times for all µ ∈ T1 , all u ∈ U (A), n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, and all x1 , · · · , xd , z, w, a, b ∈ A. Then there exists a unique Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism H : A → B such that 1 (3.xii) kh(x) − H(x)k ≤ ϕ(qx, e rx, · · · , rx, 0, 0, 0, 0) | {z } l · d−1 Cl−1 d−1 times for all x ∈ A. Proof. Put z = w = a = b = 0 and µ = 1 ∈ T1 in (3.x). It follows from Trif’s Theorem [17, Theorem 3.1] that there exists a unique additive mapping H : A → B satisfying (3.xii). The additive mapping H : A → B is given by H(x) = lim n→∞ 1 h(q n x) n q for all x ∈ A. The rest of the proof is similar to the proof of Theorem 2.7. Park 407 Corollary 3.7. Let h : A → B be a mapping with h(0) = 0 for which there exist constants θ ≥ 0 and p ∈ [0, 1) such that d X µx1 + · · · + µxd [z, w] + a ◦ b kd d−2 Cl−2 h( + ) + d−2 Cl−1 µh(xj ) d d d−2 Cl−2 j=1 X xj + · · · + xjl −l µh( 1 )−[h(z), h(w)] − h(a) ◦ h(b)k l 1≤j1 <···<jl ≤d d X ≤ θ( ||xj ||p +||z||p + ||w||p + ||a||p + ||b||p ), j=1 n ∗ kh(q u ) − h(q n u)∗ k ≤ dq np θ for all µ ∈ T1 , all u ∈ U (A), n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, and all x1 , · · · , xd , z, w, a, b ∈ A. Then there exists a unique Lie JC ∗ -algebra homomorphism H : A → B such that q 1−p (q p + (d − 1)rp )θ ||x||p kh(x) − H(x)k ≤ l d−1 Cl−1 (q 1−p − 1) for all x ∈ A. Pd Proof. Define ϕ(x1 , · · · , xd , z, w, a, b) = θ( j=1 ||xj ||p +||z||p +||w||p +||a||p + ||b||p ), and apply Theorem 3.6. One can obtain a similar result to Theorem 3.3 for the Trif functional equation. 4. Stability of Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivations in Lie JC ∗ -algebras Definition 4.1. A C -linear mapping D : A → A is called a Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivation if D : A → A satisfies D(x ◦ y) = (Dx) ◦ y + x ◦ (Dy), D([x, y]) = [Dx, y] + [x, Dy], D(x∗ ) = D(x)∗ for all x, y ∈ A. Remark 4.1. A C -linear mapping D : A → A is a C ∗ -algebra derivation if and only if the mapping D : A → A is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivation. Assume that D is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivation. Then D(xy) = D([x, y] + x ◦ y) = D([x, y]) + D(x ◦ y) = [Dx, y] + [x, Dy] + (Dx) ◦ y + x ◦ (Dy) = (Dx)y + x(Dy) for all x, y ∈ A. So D is a C ∗ -algebra derivation. 408 Park Assume that D is a C ∗ -algebra derivation. Then (Dx)y + x(Dy) − (Dy)x − y(Dx) xy − yx )= 2 2 = [Dx, y] + [x, Dy], xy + yx (Dx)y + x(Dy) + (Dy)x + y(Dx) D(x ◦ y) = D( )= 2 2 = (Dx) ◦ y + x ◦ (Dy) D([x, y]) = D( for all x, y ∈ A. So H is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivation. We are going to show the Cauchy–Rassias stability of Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivations in Lie JC ∗ -algebras associated with the Cauchy functional equation. Theorem 4.1. Let h : A → A be a mapping with h(0) = 0 for which there exists a function ϕ : A6 → [0, ∞) satisfying (3.i) and (3.iii) such that kh(µx + µy + [z, w] + a ◦ b) − µh(x) − µh(y) − [h(z), w] − [z, h(w)] − h(a) ◦ b − a ◦ h(b)k ≤ ϕ(x, y, z, w, a, b) (4.i) for all µ ∈ T1 and all x, y, z, w, a, b ∈ A. Then there exists a unique Lie JC ∗ algebra derivation D : A → A such that kh(x) − D(x)k ≤ 1 ϕ(x, e x, 0, 0, 0, 0) 2 (4.ii) for all x ∈ A. Proof. Put z = w = a = b = 0 in (4.i). By the same reasoning as in the proof of Theorem 2.1, there exists a unique C -linear involutive mapping D : A → A satisfying (4.ii). The C -linear mapping D : A → A is given by 1 h(2n x) n→∞ 2n (4.1) h(22n x) n→∞ 22n (4.2) D(x) = lim for all x ∈ A. It follows from (4.1) that D(x) = lim for all x ∈ A. Let x = y = a = b = 0 in (4.i). Then we get kh([z, w]) − [h(z), w] − [z, h(w)]k ≤ ϕ(0, 0, z, w, 0, 0) for all z, w ∈ A. Since 1 1 n n ϕ(0, 0, 2 z, 2 w, 0, 0) ≤ ϕ(0, 0, 2n z, 2n w, 0, 0), 22n 2n 409 Park 1 1 kh([2n z, 2n w]) − [h(2n z), 2n w] − [2n z, h(2n w)]k ≤ 2n ϕ(0, 0, 2n z, 2n w, 0, 0) 2n 2 2 1 ≤ n ϕ(0, 0, 2n z, 2n w, 0, 0) (4.3) 2 for all z, w ∈ A. By (3.i), (4.2), and (4.3), h(22n [z, w]) h([2n z, 2n w]) = lim n→∞ n→∞ 22n 22n n n n 2 z h(2n w) h(2 z) 2 w ]) , ] + [ , = lim ([ n→∞ 2n 2n 2n 2n = [D(z), w] + [z, D(w)] D([z, w]) = lim for all z, w ∈ A. Similarly, one can obtain that h(22n a ◦ b) h((2n a) ◦ (2n b)) = lim 2n n→∞ n→∞ 22n 2 n n n h(2 a) 2 b 2 a h(2n b) = lim ( )◦( n )+( n ◦( ) n→∞ 2n 2 2 2n D(a ◦ b) = lim = (Da) ◦ b + a ◦ (Db) for all a, b ∈ A. Hence the C -linear mapping D : A → A is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivation satisfying (4.ii), as desired. Corollary 4.2. Let h : A → A be a mapping with h(0) = 0 for which there exist constants θ ≥ 0 and p ∈ [0, 1) such that kh(µx + µy + [z, w] + a ◦ b) − µh(x) − µh(y) − [h(z), w] − [z, h(w)] − h(a) ◦ b − a ◦ h(B)k ≤ θ(kxkp + kykp + kzkp + kwkp + kakp + kbkp ), kh(2n u∗ ) − h(2n u)∗ k ≤ 2 · 2np θ for all µ ∈ T1 , all u ∈ U (A), n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, and all x, y, z, w, a, b ∈ A . Then there exists a unique Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivation D : A → A such that kh(x) − D(x)k ≤ 2θ kxkp p 2−2 for all x ∈ A. Proof. Define ϕ(x, y, z, w, a, b) = θ(kxkp + kykp + kzkp + kwkp + kakp + kbkp ) , and apply Theorem 4.1. Theorem 4.3. Let h : A → A be a mapping with h(0) = 0 for which there exists a function ϕ : A6 → [0, ∞) satisfying (3.i) and (3.iii) such that kh(µx + µy + [z, w] + a ◦ b) − µh(x) − µh(y) − [h(z), w] − [z, h(w)] − h(a) ◦ b − a ◦ h(b)k ≤ ϕ(x, y, z, w, a, b) 410 Park for µ = 1, i, and all x, y, z, w, a, b ∈ A. If h(tx) is continuous in t ∈ R for each fixed x ∈ A, then there exists a unique Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivation D : A → A satisfying (4.ii). Proof. By the same reasoning as in the proof of Theorem 2.3, there exists a unique C -linear mapping D : A → A satisfying (4.ii). The rest of the proof is the same as in the proofs of Theorems 2.1, 3.1 and 4.1. We are going to show the Cauchy–Rassias stability of Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivations in Lie JC ∗ -algebras associated with the Jensen functional equation. Theorem 4.4. Let h : A → A be a mapping with h(0) = 0 for which there exists a function ϕ : (A \ {0})6 → [0, ∞) satisfying (3.v) and (3.vii) such that k2h( µx + µy + [z, w] + a ◦ b ) − µh(x) − µh(y) − [h(z), w] − [z, h(w)] 2 − h(a) ◦ b − a ◦ h(b)k ≤ ϕ(x, y, z, w, a, b)(4.iii) for all µ ∈ T1 and all x, y, z, w, a, b ∈ A \ {0} . Then there exists a unique Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivation D : A → A such that kh(x) − D(x)k ≤ 1 (ϕ(x, e −x, 0, 0, 0, 0) + ϕ(−x, e 3x, 0, 0, 0, 0)) 3 (4.iv) for all x ∈ A \ {0} . Proof. Put z = w = a = b = 0 in (4.iii). By the same reasoning as in the proof of Theorem 2.5, there exists a unique C -linear involutive mapping D : A → A satisfying (4.iv). The C -linear mapping D : A → A is given by 1 h(3n x) n→∞ 3n (4.4) h(32n x) n→∞ 32n (4.5) D(x) = lim for all x ∈ A. It follows from (4.4) that D(x) = lim for all x ∈ A. Let x = y = a = b = 0 in (4.iii). Then we get k2h( [z, w] ) − [h(z), w] − [z, h(w)]k ≤ ϕ(0, 0, z, w, 0, 0) 2 for all z, w ∈ A. Since 1 1 n n ϕ(0, 0, 3 z, 3 w, 0, 0) ≤ ϕ(0, 0, 3n z, 3n w, 0, 0), 32n 3n 1 1 1 k2h( [3n z, 3n w]) − [h(3n z), 3n w] − [3n z, h(3n w)]k ≤ 2n ϕ(0, 0, 3n z, 3n w, 0, 0) 2n 3 2 3 1 ≤ n ϕ(0, 0,3n z, 3n w, 0, 0) (4.6) 3 411 Park for all z, w ∈ A. By (3.v), (4.5), and (4.6), 2n 2h( 32 [z, w]) 2h( 12 [3n z, 3n w]) [z, w] 2D( ) = lim = lim n→∞ n→∞ 2 32n 32n n n n n 3 z h(3 w) h(3 z) 3 w = lim ([ , n ]+[ n , ]) n n→∞ 3 3 3 3n = [D(z), w] + [z, D(w)] for all z, w ∈ A. But since D is C -linear, D([z, w]) = 2D( [z, w] ) = [D(z), w] + [z, D(w)] 2 for all z, w ∈ A. Similarly, one can obtain that 2n 2h( 32 a ◦ b) 2h( 12 (3n a) ◦ (3n b)) a◦b 2D( ) = lim = lim 2n n→∞ n→∞ 2 32n 3n n n h(3 a) 3 b 3 a h(3n b) = lim ( )◦( n )+( n ◦( ) n→∞ 3n 3 3 3n = (Da) ◦ b + a ◦ (Db) for all a, b ∈ A. So a◦b ) = (Da) ◦ b + a ◦ (Db) 2 for all a, b ∈ A. Hence the C -linear mapping D : A → A is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivation satisfying (4.iv), as desired. D(a ◦ b) = 2D( Corollary 4.5. Let h : A → A be a mapping with h(0) = 0 for which there exist constants θ ≥ 0 and p ∈ [0, 1) such that k2h( µx + µy + [z, w] + a ◦ b ) − µh(x) − µh(y) − [h(z), w] − [z, h(w)] 2 −h(a) ◦ b − a ◦ h(b)k ≤ θ(kxkp + kykp + kzkp + kwkp + kakp + kbkp ), kh(3n u∗ ) − h(3n u)∗ k ≤ 2 · 3np θ for all µ ∈ T1 , all u ∈ U (A), n = 0, 1, 2, · · ·, and all x, y, z, w, a, b ∈ A \ {0} . Then there exists a unique Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivation D : A → A such that kh(x) − D(x)k ≤ 3 + 3p θkxkp 3 − 3p for all x ∈ A \ {0} . Proof. Define ϕ(x, y, z, w, a, b) = θ(kxkp + kykp + kzkp + kwkp + kakp + kbkp ) , and apply Theorem 4.4. One can obtain a similar result to Theorem 4.3 for the Jensen functional equation. Finally, we are going to show the Cauchy–Rassias stability of Lie JC ∗ algebra derivations in Lie JC ∗ -algebras associated with the Trif functional equation. 412 Park Theorem 4.6.

Put z = w = a = b = 0 in (4.v). By the same reasoning as in the proof of Theorem 2.7, there exists a unique C -linear involutive mapping D : A → A satisfying (4.vi). The C -linear mapping D : A → A is given by 1 h(q n x) n→∞ q n (4.7) h(q 2n x) n→∞ q 2n (4.8) D(x) = lim for all x ∈ A. It follows from (4.7) that D(x) = lim for all x ∈ A. Let x1 = · · · = xd = a = b = 0 in (4.v). Then we get kd d−2 Cl−2 h( [z, w] ) − [h(z), w] − [z, h(w)]k ≤ ϕ(0, · · · , 0, z, w, 0, 0) | {z } d d−2 Cl−2 d times for all z, w ∈ A.

By (3.ix), (4.8), and (4.9), 2n q dd−2 Cl−2 h( dd−2 [z, w] Cl−2 [z, w]) dd−2 Cl−2 D( ) = lim n→∞ dd−2 Cl−2 q 2n dd−2 Cl−2 h( dd−21Cl−2 [q n z, q n w]) h(q n z) q n w q n z h(q n w) = lim = lim ([ , ] + [ , ]) n→∞ n→∞ q 2n qn qn qn qn = [D(z), w] + [z, D(w)]for all z, w ∈ A. But since D is C -linear, vglue-8pt D([z, w]) = d d−2 Cl−2 D([z, w] d d−2 Cl−2 ) = [D(z), w] + [z, D(w)] for all z, w ∈ A. Similarly, one can obtain that D(a ◦ b) = (Da) ◦ b + a ◦ (Db) for all a, b ∈ A. Hence the C -linear mapping D: A → A is a Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivation satisfying (4.vi), as desired. Corollary 4.7. Let h : A → A be a mapping with h(0) = 0 for which there exist constants θ ≥ 0 and p ∈ [0, 1) such that d X µx1 + · · · + µxd [z, w] + a ◦ b kd d−2 Cl−2 h( + ) + d−2 Cl−1 µh(xj ) d d d−2 Cl−2 j=1 X xj + · · · + xjl −l µh( 1 ) − [h(z), w] − [z, h(w)] − h(a) ◦ b l 1≤j1 <···<jl ≤d d X −a ◦ h(b)k ≤ θ( kxj kp + kzkp + kwkp + kakp + kbkp ), j=1 n ∗ kh(q u ) − h(q n u)∗ k ≤ dq np θ for all µ ∈ T1 , all u ∈ U (A), n = 0, 1, · · ·, and all x1 , · · · , xd , z, w, a, b ∈ A . Then there exists a unique Lie JC ∗ -algebra derivation D : A → A such that kh(x) − D(x)k ≤ q 1−p (q p + (d − 1)rp )θ kxkp l d−1 Cl−1 (q 1−p − 1) for all x ∈ A. Pd Proof. Define ϕ(x1 , · · · , xd , z, w, a, b) = θ( j=1 kxj kp + kzkp + kwkp + kakp + kbkp ), and apply Theorem 4.6. One can obtain a similar result to Theorem 4.3 for the Trif functional equation.
