The theory of Ulam stability was initiated by a problem raised in 1940 by S. Ulam and concerning approximate solutions to the equation of homomorphism in groups. It is somehow connected to various other areas of investigation such as, e.g., optimization and approximation theory. Its main issue is the error that we make when replacing functions satisfying the equation approximately with exact solutions of the equation. This article is a survey of the published so far results on Ulam stability for functional equations in 2-normed spaces. We present and discuss them, pointing to the various pitfalls they contain and showing possible simple generalizations. In this way, in particular, we demonstrate that the easily noticeable symmetry between them and the analogous results obtained for the classical metric or normed spaces is in fact only apparent.
AbstractIn this paper, we obtain Hyers-Ulam stability of the functional equationsf (x + y, z + w) + f (x − y, z − w) = 2f (x, z) + 2f (y, w),f (x + y, z − w) + f (x − y, z + w) = 2f (x, z) + 2f (y, w)andf (x + y, z − w) + f (x − y, z + w) = 2f (x, z) − 2f (y, w)in 2-Banach spaces. The quadratic forms ax2 + bxy + cy2, ax2 + by2 and axy are solutions of the above functional equations, respectively.
In this paper, we solve the following additive ?-functional inequalities ||f
(x + y) - f (x) - f (y)|| ? ???(2f (x+y/2) - f(x) + -f (y))??, (1) where ? is
a fixed complex number with |?|<1, and ??2f(x+y/2)-f(x)-
f(y)???||?(f(x+y)-f(x)-f(y))||, (2) where ? is a fixed complex number with
|?|<1/2 , and prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of the additive ?-functional
inequalities (1) and (2) in ?-homogeneous complex Banach spaces and prove the
Hyers-Ulam stability of additive ?-functional equations associated with the
additive ?-functional inequalities (1) and (2) in ?-homogeneous complex
Banach spaces.
We establish stability results concerning the additive and quadratic functional equations in complete Menger ϕ-normed spaces by using fixed point theory. As particular cases, some theorems regarding the stability of functional equations in β - normed and quasi-normed spaces are obtained.
We obtain the general solution of the generalized mixed additive and quadratic functional equationfx+my+fx−my=2fx−2m2fy+m2f2y,mis even;fx+y+fx−y−2m2−1fy+m2−1f2y,mis odd, for a positive integerm. We establish the Hyers-Ulam stability for these functional equations in non-Archimedean normed spaces whenmis an even positive integer orm=3.
In this paper, we investigate the stability problem in the spirit of Hyers-Ulam, Rassias and G·avruta for the quadratic functional equation:f(2x + y) + f(2x ¡ y) = 2f(x + y) + 2f(x ¡ y) + 4f(x) ¡ 2f(y) in 2-Banach spaces. These results extend the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability results by thequadratic functional equation in normed spaces to 2-Banach spaces.
In this paper, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of a general k-quadratic Euler-Lagrange functional equation:for any fixed positive integer in intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces using a fixed point method.
