Fixed points and generalized Hyers-Ulam stability (Q448785): Difference between revisions

Summary: In this paper we prove a fixed-point theorem for a class of operators with suitable properties, in very general conditions. Also, we show that some recent fixed-points results in [\textit{J. Brzdȩk}, \textit{J. Chudziak} and \textit{Z. Páles}, Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl., Ser. A, Theory Methods 74, No. 17, 6728--6732 (2011; Zbl 1236.39022); \textit{J. Brzdȩk} and \textit{K. Ciepliński}, ibid., 74, No. 18, 6861-6867 (2011; Zbl 1237.39022)] can be obtained directly from our theorem. Moreover, an affirmative answer to the open problem of Brzdȩk and Ciepliński [loc. cit.] is given. Several corollaries, obtained directly from our main result, show that this is a useful tool for proving properties of generalized Hyers-Ulam stability for some functional equations in a single variable.
