Abstract
A pseudocharacter of a semigroup S is a real function ϕ on S satisfying the following conditions.
  • The set {ϕ(xy)-ϕ(x)-ϕ(y) : x,y∈ S} is bounded.
  • For x∈ S and n∈ N (and n∈ Z if S is a group),
    ϕ(xn)=nϕ(x).

A description of the space of pseudocharacters on some extensions of free groups is given.
