“…For example, the diffusion equation describes the conduction of heat, the signal transmission in communication systems, and diffusion models of chemical diffusion phenomena and it is also connected with Brownian motion in probability theory. This paper was partially motivated by a previous work [21] in which the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the one-dimensional wave equation with a source, ( , ) − 2 ( , ) = ( , ) was investigated by using the method of characteristic coordinates. On the other hand, we prove in this paper the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the -dimensional diffusion equation with a source, ( , ) − △ ( , ) = ( , ), by applying a kind of method for decomposition of differential operators.…”
