In this paper, we obtain the general solution and the stability of the 2-variable quadratic functional equationThe quadratic form f (x, y) = ax 2 + bxy + cy 2 is a solution of the above functional equation.
LetV,Wbe real vector spaces. It is shown that an odd mappingf:V→Wsatisfies∑i−12nf(xi−1/2n∑j=12nxj)=∑i=12nf(xi)−2nf(1/2n∑i=12nxi)for allx1,…,x2n∈Vif and only if the odd mappingf:V→Wis Cauchy additive. Furthermore, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the above functional equation in real Banach 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.
