## On an approximate automorphism on a $$C^{*}$$-algebra.(English)Zbl 1055.47032

In the first part of the paper, the author considers mappings on Banach *-algebras which are approximately linear, approximately multiplicative and approximately self-adjoint (see the paper for precise definitions). He presents results which say that for every mapping $$f$$ having such “approximate” properties, there exists an algebra *-homomorphism which is close to $$f$$. The obtained theorems are termed as generalized Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability results concerning *-homomorphisms of Banach *-algebras. In the last section of the paper, the author investigates the stability of the automorphisms of unital $$C^*$$-algebras. He shows that under certain conditions, if a bijective multiplicative map on such an algebra is approximately linear and approximately self-adjoint in some sense, then it is automatically a *-automorphism.
