It is known [3], [5] that, the complex-valued solutions of(B)(apart from the trivial solution f(x)≡0) are of the form(C)(D)In case f is a measurable solution of (B), then f is continuous [2], [3] and the corresponding ϕ in (C) is also continuous and ϕ is of the form [1],(E)In this paper, the functional equation(P)where f is a complex-valued, measurable function of the real variable and A≠0 is a real constant, is considered. It is shown that f is continuous and that (apart from the trivial solutions f ≡ 0, 1), the only functions which satisfy (P) are the cosine functions cos ax and - cos bx, where a and b belong to a denumerable set of real numbers.

A fundamental result in the theory of measure in the space Ω of real functions x(t) of a real variable t is the following theorem of Kolmogoroff:Theorem 1. Suppose that functions F(t1, …, tn; b1 …, bn) = F(t; b) are defined for positive integers n and real numbers t1, …, tn, b1, …, bn, and have the following properties:(1·1) For every fixedt1, …, tn, F(t; b) has non-negative differenceswith respect to the variables bl, b2,…, bn, and is continuous on the right with respect to each of them;if (i1, …, in) is any permutation of (1, 2, …, n). Then a measure P(X) can be defined in a Borel system of subsets of Ω in such a way that the set of functions satisfyingis measurable for any realbi, tiand has measure F(t; b).

In this paper we continue the investigation of positive-moment problems, begun in (4). For an arbitrary index set A we consider a family (fα)α ∈ A of measurable real-valued functions on a measure-space (X, µ). We suppose throughout thatwhere (Xm) is an increasing sequence of measurable subsets of X and where, for each α in A and each m, fα is µ-integrable over Xm. Let (сα)α ∈ A be a given family of real numbers. We consider the following restricted positive-moment problem: does there exist a measurable function g on X such that 0 ≤° g ≤° 1 and such thatfor every α in A? (Here the symbol ‘≤°’ indicates that the relation ≤ holds almost everywhere with respect to µ on X. Symbols ‘ = °, <°, …’ are used similarly.) If such a g exists we call (сα)α ∈ A a moment family for the problem:

Many of the basic results of HP theory on the disk Δ = {|z| < 1} are proved using the Cauchy-Stieltjes representation1.1and the Poisson-Stieltjes representation1.2Here, μ:R → C is a complex-valued function of a real variable that is of bounded variation on [0, 2π] such that μ(t + 2π) = μ(t) + μ(2t) — μ(0), t ∊ R,is the Cauchy kernel, andis the Poisson kernel. It is therefore natural to generalize these representations in such a way that some of the basic properties and results carry over. Such a generalization occurs when the assumption that μ is of bounded variation on [0, 2μ] is replaced by the requirement that it is measurable and bounded on [0, 2μ] (cf. [9]). The integrals in (1.1) and (1.2) are then defined by a formal integration by parts. After some preliminaries in Section 2, we catalogue a variety of results which remain valid in Section 3.

Let$G$be a commutative group and$\mathbb{C}$the field of complex numbers,$\mathbb{R}^{+}$the set of positive real numbers and$f,g,h,k:G\times \mathbb{R}^{+}\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$. In this paper, we first consider the Levi-Civitá functional inequality$$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle |f(x+y,t+s)-g(x,t)h(y,s)-k(y,s)|\leq {\rm\Phi}(t,s),\quad x,y\in G,t,s>0, & & \displaystyle \nonumber\end{eqnarray}$$where${\rm\Phi}:\mathbb{R}^{+}\times \mathbb{R}^{+}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{+}$is a symmetric decreasing function in the sense that${\rm\Phi}(t_{2},s_{2})\leq {\rm\Phi}(t_{1},s_{1})$for all$0<t_{1}\leq t_{2}$and$0<s_{1}\leq s_{2}$. As an application, we solve the Hyers–Ulam stability problem of the Levi-Civitá functional equation$$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle u\circ S-v\otimes w-k\circ {\rm\Pi}\in {\mathcal{D}}_{L^{\infty }}^{\prime }(\mathbb{R}^{2n})\quad [\text{respectively}\;{\mathcal{A}}_{L^{\infty }}^{\prime }(\mathbb{R}^{2n})] & & \displaystyle \nonumber\end{eqnarray}$$in the space of Gelfand hyperfunctions, where$u,v,w,k$are Gelfand hyperfunctions,$S(x,y)=x+y,{\rm\Pi}(x,y)=y,x,y\in \mathbb{R}^{n}$, and$\circ$,$\otimes$,${\mathcal{D}}_{L^{\infty }}^{\prime }(\mathbb{R}^{2n})$and${\mathcal{A}}_{L^{\infty }}^{\prime }(\mathbb{R}^{2n})$denote pullback, tensor product and the spaces of bounded distributions and bounded hyperfunctions, respectively.

Let be the complex vector space consisting of all complex-valued functions of a non-negative real variable t. For each positive number u, the shift operator Iu is the mapping of into itself defined by the formulaA linear operator T which maps a subspace of into itself is said to be a V-operator (13) if:(a) for each x in , the complex-conjugate function x* is in ;(b) both and \ are invariant under the shift operators;(c) every shift operator commutes with T.(Property (a) ensures that every function x in can be uniquely expressed as x1 + ix2, where x1 and x2 are real functions in .)

AbstractWe prove a hyperstability result for the Cauchy functional equation$f(x+ y)= f(x)+ f(y)$, which complements some earlier stability outcomes of J. M. Rassias. As a consequence, we obtain the slightly surprising corollary that for every function$f$, mapping a normed space${E}_{1} $into a normed space${E}_{2} $, and for all real numbers$r, s$with$r+ s\gt 0$one of the following two conditions must be valid:$$\begin{eqnarray*}\displaystyle \sup _{x, y\in E_{1}}\Vert f(x+ y)- f(x)- f(y)\Vert \hspace{0.167em} \mathop{\Vert x\Vert }\nolimits ^{r} \hspace{0.167em} \mathop{\Vert y\Vert }\nolimits ^{s} = \infty , &&\displaystyle\end{eqnarray*}$$$$\begin{eqnarray*}\displaystyle \sup _{x, y\in E_{1}}\Vert f(x+ y)- f(x)- f(y)\Vert \hspace{0.167em} \mathop{\Vert x\Vert }\nolimits ^{r} \hspace{0.167em} \mathop{\Vert y\Vert }\nolimits ^{s} = 0. &&\displaystyle\end{eqnarray*}$$In particular, we present a new method for proving stability for functional equations, based on a fixed point theorem.

We consider the following functional equation1where ƒ = ƒ(x, y) is a real-valued function of two real variables x, y on the whole xy-plane and t is a real variable.With regard to the geometric meaning of (1), the equation is called the “square” functional equation.

The subject of this paper is the use of the theory of Schwartz distributions and approximate identities in studying the functional equationThe aj’s and b are complex-valued functions defined on a neighbourhood, U, of 0 in Rm, hj. U → Rn with hj(0) = 0 and fj, g: Rn → C for 1 ≦ j ≦ N. In most of what follows the aj's and hj's are assumed smooth and may be thought of as given. The fj‘s, b and g may be thought of as the unknowns. Typically we are concerned with locally integrable functions f1, … , fN such that, for each s in U, (1) holds for a.e. (almost every) x ∈ Rn, in the sense of Lebesgue measure.

In the following R will denote the real numbers, for a Hilbert space H, B(H) and L(H) will denote the collections of bounded linear operators on H and linear, but not necessarily bounded, operators on H respectively. Cosine Operator Functions, namely functions C:R ⟶ B(H) which satisfy D'Alembert's functional equation (1) and (2)

1. Introduction: Consider the system of ordinary differential equationswhere the unknown x(t) is a complex m-vector, t is a real variable, D is the operator d/dt and a0, …, an are complex m × m matrices whose elements are continuous functions of t, x, Dx, …, Dn−1x. Furthermore, det a0 ╪ 0. In the special case when a0, …, an are constant matrices the trivial solution x = 0 is asymptotically stable if and only if all the roots of the characteristic equation det f(ζ) = 0 have negative real parts, where
