Abstract

Using the fixed point method, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the following additive-quadratic-quartic functional equation in complete random normed spaces.

1. Introduction

The stability problem of functional equations originated from a question of Ulam [1] concerning the stability of group homomorphisms. Hyers [2] gave a first affirmative partial answer to the question of Ulam for Banach spaces. Hyers' theorem was generalized by Aoki [3] for additive mappings and by Th. M. Rassias [4] for linear mappings by considering an unbounded Cauchy difference. The paper of Th. M. Rassias [4] has provided a lot of influence in the development of what we call generalized Hyers-Ulam stability or as Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of functional equations. A generalization of the Th. M. Rassias theorem was obtained by Gvrua [5] by replacing the unbounded Cauchy difference by a general control function in the spirit of Th. M. Rassias' approach.

The functional equation

(1.1)

is called a quadratic functional equation. In particular, every solution of the quadratic functional equation is said to be a quadratic mapping. A generalized Hyers-Ulam stability problem for the quadratic functional equation was proved by Skof [6] for mappings , where is a normed space and is a Banach space. Cholewa [7] noticed that the theorem of Skof is still true if the relevant domain is replaced by an Abelian group. Czerwik [8] proved the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the quadratic functional equation. The stability problems of several functional equations have been extensively investigated by a number of authors and there are many interesting results concerning this problem (see [4, 9–26]).

In [27], Lee et al. considered the following quartic functional equation

(1.2)

It is easy to show that the function satisfies the functional equation (1.2), which is called a quartic functional equation and every solution of the quartic functional equation is said to be a quartic mapping.

Let be a set. A function is called a generalized metric on if satisfies

(1) if and only if ,

(2) for all

(3) for all .

We recall a fundamental result in fixed point theory.

Theorem 1.1 ([28, 29]).

Let be a complete generalized metric space and let be a strictly contractive mapping with Lipschitz constant . Then for each given element , either

(1.3)

for all nonnegative integers or there exists a positive integer such that

(1)

(2)the sequence converges to a fixed point of ,

(3) is the unique fixed point of in the set ,

(4) for all .

In 1996, Isac and Th. M. Rassias [30] were the first to provide applications of stability theory of functional equations for the proof of new fixed point theorems with applications. By using fixed point methods, the stability problems of several functional equations have been extensively investigated by a number of authors (see [31–36]).

2. Preliminaries

In the sequel we adopt the usual terminology, notations and conventions of the theory of random normed spaces, as in [37–41]. Throughout this paper, is the space of all probability distribution functions that is, the space of all mappings , such that is left-continuous, non-decreasing on , and . is a subset of consising of all functions for which , where denotes the left limit of the function at the point , that is, . The space is partially ordered by the usual point-wise ordering of functions, that is, if and only if for all in . The maximal element for in this order is the distribution function given by

(2.1)

Definition 2.1 ([40]).

A mapping is a continuous triangular norm (briefly, a -norm) if satisfies the following conditions:

(a) is commutative and associative;

(b) is continuous;

(c) for all ;

(d) whenever and for all .

Typical examples of continuous -norms are , and (the ukasiewicz -norm).

Recall (see [42, 43]) that if is a -norm and is a given sequence of numbers in , is defined recurrently by and for . is defined as .

It is known ([43]) that for the ukasiewicz -norm the following implication holds:

(2.2)

Definition 2.2 ([41]).

A Random Normed space (briefly, RN-space) is a triple , where is a vector space, is a continuous -norm, and is a mapping from into such that, the following conditions hold:

(RN1) for all if and only if ;

(RN2) for all , ;

(RN3) for all and .

Definition 2.3.

Let be a RN-space.

(1)A sequence in is said to be convergent to in if, for every and , there exists positive integer such that whenever .

(2)A sequence in is called Cauchy if, for every and , there exists positive integer such that whenever .

(3)A RN-space is said to be complete if and only if every Cauchy sequence in is convergent to a point in . A complete RN-space is said to be random Banach space.

Theorem 2.4 ([40]).

If is a RN-space and is a sequence such that , then almost everywhere.

The theory of random normed spaces (RN-spaces) is important as a generalization of deterministic result of linear normed spaces and also in the study of random operator equations. The RN-spaces may also provide us the appropriate tools to study the geometry of nuclear physics and have important application in quantum particle physics. The generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of different functional equations in random normed spaces, RN-spaces and fuzzy normed spaces has been recently studied in, Alsina [44], Mirmostafaee, Mirzavaziri and Moslehian [33, 45–47], Mihe and Radu [38, 39, 48, 49], Mihe, Saadati and Vaezpour [50, 51], Baktash et al. [52] and Saadati et al. [53].

3. Generalized Hyers-Ulam Stability of the Functional Equation : An Odd Case

One can easily show that an odd mapping satisfies if and only if the odd mapping mapping is an additive mapping, that is,

(3.1)

One can easily show that an even mapping satisfies if and only if the even mapping is a quadratic-quartic mapping, that is,

(3.2)

It was shown in [54, Lemma ] that and are quartic and quadratic, respectively, and that .

For a given mapping , we define

(3.3)

for all .

Using the fixed point method, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the functional equation in complete RN-spaces: an odd case.

Theorem 3.1.

Let be a linear space, be a complete RN-space and be a mapping from to such that, for some ,

(3.4)

Let be an odd mapping satisfying

(3.5)

for all and all . Then

(3.6)

exists for each and defines a unique additive mapping such that

(3.7)

for all and all .

Proof.

Letting in (3.5), we get

(3.8)

for all and all .

Consider the set

(3.9)

and introduce the generalized metric on :

(3.10)

where, as usual, . It is easy to show that is complete. (See the proof of Lemma in [38].)

Now we consider the linear mapping such that

(3.11)

for all and we prove that is a strictly contractive mapping with the Lipschitz constant .

Let be given such that . Then

(3.12)

for all and all . Hence

(3.13)

for all and all . So implies that . This means that

(3.14)

for all .

It follows from (3.8) that

(3.15)

for all and all . So

(3.16)

By Theorem 1.1, there exists a mapping satisfying the following:

  1. (1)

    is a fixed point of , that is,

    (3.17)

for all . The mapping is a unique fixed point of in the set

(3.18)

This implies that is a unique mapping satisfying (3.17) such that there exists a satisfying

(3.19)

for all and all ;

  1. (2)

    as . This implies the equality

    (3.20)

for all . Since is odd, is an odd mapping;

  1. (3)

    with , which implies the inequality

    (3.21)

from which it follows

(3.22)

This implies that the inequality (3.7) holds.

Now, we have,

(3.23)

for all , all and all .

So, we obtain by (3.4)

(3.24)

for all , all and all .

Since for all and all , by Theorem 2.4, we deduce that

(3.25)

for all and all . Thus the mapping is additive, as desired.

Corollary 3.2.

Let and let be a real number with . Let be a normed vector space with norm . Let be an odd mapping satisfying

(3.26)

for all and all . Then

(3.27)

exists for each and defines an additive mapping such that

(3.28)

for all and all .

Proof.

The proof follows from Theorem 3.1 by taking

(3.29)

for all . Then we can choose and we get the desired result.

Similarly, we can obtain the following. We will omit the proof.

(4.3)

for all and all .

Proof.

Letting in (3.5), we get

(4.4)

for all and all .

Replacing by in (3.5), we get

(4.5)

for all and all .

By (4.4) and (4.5),

(4.6)

for all and all . Letting for all , we get

(4.7)

for all and all .

Let be the generalized metric space defined in the proof of Theorem 3.1.

Now we consider the linear mapping such that

(4.8)

for all . It is easy to see that is a strictly contractive self-mapping on with the Lipschitz constant .

It follows from (4.7) that

(4.9)

for all and all . So

(4.10)

By Theorem 1.1, there exists a mapping satisfying the following:

  1. (1)

    is a fixed point of , that is,

    (4.11)

for all . Since is even with , is an even mapping with . The mapping is a unique fixed point of in the set

(4.12)

This implies that is a unique mapping satisfying (4.11) such that there exists a satisfying

(4.13)

for all and all ;

  1. (2)

    as . This implies the equality

    (4.14)

for all ;

  1. (3)

    for every , which implies the inequality

    (4.15)

This implies that the inequality (4.3) holds.

Proceeding as in the proof of Theorem 3.1, we obtain that the mapping satisfies .

Now, we have

(4.16)

(4.29)

for all and all .

It is easy to see that the linear mapping such that

(4.30)

for all , is a strictly contractive self-mapping with the Lipschitz constant .

It follows from (4.29) that

(4.31)

    (4.36)

for all ;

  1. (3)

    for each , which implies the inequality

    (4.37)

This implies that the inequality (4.28) holds.

Proceeding as in the proof of Theorem 4.1, we obtain that the mapping satisfies .

Now, we have

(4.38)
