Is there a sequence of non-zero bounded smooth functions $f_1,f_2,\ldots,f_k$ so that

$$\sum_{I=1}^k \cos(f_i)= \cos\left(\sum_{i=1}^k f_i \right)$$$$\sum_{I=1}^k \cos(f_i)= \cos\left(\sum_{i=1}^k f_i \right).$$

andAnd what about the infinite case ?

Does any such f$f$ exist?

Is there a sequence of non zero-zero bounded smooth functions $f_1,f_2,...f_k$$f_1,f_2,\ldots,f_k$ so that

$$\sum_{I=1}^{k}{\cos(f_i)}= \cos(\sum_{i=1}^{k}{f_i})$$$$\sum_{I=1}^k \cos(f_i)= \cos\left(\sum_{i=1}^k f_i \right)$$

and what about the infinite case ?
