Abstract. We study a generalization of the Fréchet functional equation, stemming from a characterization of inner product spaces. We show, in particular, that under some weak additional assumptions each solution of such an equation is additive. We also obtain a theorem on the Ulam type stability of the equation. In its proof we use a fixed point result to show the existence of an exact solution of the equation that is close to a given approximate solution.Mathematics Subject Classification. 39B52, 39B82, 47H10.
Abstract. We prove some stability and hyperstability results for a generalization of the well known Fréchet functional equation, stemming from one of the characterizations of the inner product spaces. As the main tool we use a fixed point theorem for some function spaces. We end the paper with some new inequalities characterizing the inner product spaces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
