%0 Journal Article %T On cosine families close to scalar cosine families %A Wojciech Chojnacki %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %R 10.1017/S1446788715000038 %X We prove that if two normed-algebra-valued cosine families indexed by a single Abelian group, of which one is bounded and comprised solely of scalar elements of the underlying algebra, differ in norm by less than $1$ uniformly in the parametrising index, then these families coincide. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1411.0854v5
