Summary:
It is shown that every almost linear Pexider mappings $f$, $g$, $h$ from a unital $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal A$ into a unital $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal B$ are homomorphisms when $f(2^n uy)=f(2^n u)f(y)$, $g(2^n uy)=g(2^nu)g(y)$ and $h(2^n uy)=h(2^n u)h(y)$ hold for all unitaries $u \in \mathcal A$, all $y \in \mathcal A$, and all $n\in \mathbb{Z}$, and that every almost linear continuous Pexider mappings $f$, $g$, $h$ from a unital $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal A$ of real rank zero into a unital $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal B$ are homomorphisms when $f(2^n uy)=f(2^n u)f(y)$, $g(2^n uy)=g(2^n u)g(y)$ and $h(2^n uy)=h(2^n u)h(y)$ hold for all $u \in \lbrace v\in \mathcal A\mid v=v^*\hspace{5.0pt}\text{and}\hspace{5.0pt}v\hspace{5.0pt}\text{is} \text{invertible}\rbrace$, all $y\in \mathcal A$ and all $n\in \mathbb{Z}$. Furthermore, we prove the Cauchy-Rassias stability of $*$-homomorphisms between unital $C^*$-algebras, and $\mathbb{C}$-linear $*$-derivations on unital $C^*$-algebras.
