Multilinear mappings in Banach modules over a \(C^{\ast}\)-algebra (Q1431061): Difference between revisions

Suppose that \(E_ 1\) and \(E_ 2\) are real normed spaces with \(E_ 2\) complete, \(f: E_ 1\to E_ 2\) is a mapping such that \(f(tx)\) is continuous in \(t\in \mathbb{R}\) for each fixed \(x\in E_ 1\), and let there exist \(\varepsilon\geq 0\) and \(p\in [0,\infty)\setminus \{1\}\) such that \(\| f(x+y)-f(x)-f(y)\| \leq \varepsilon(\| x\| ^ p+\| y\| ^ p)\) for all \(x,y\in E_ 1\). It was shown by \textit{T. M. Rassias} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 72, 297-300 (1978; Zbl 0398.47040)] for \(p\in [0,1)\) and \textit{Z. Gajda} [Int. J. Math. Math. Sci., 14, No.3, 431-434 (1991; Zbl 0739.39013)] for \(p>1\) that there exist a unique linear map \(T: E_ 1\to E_ 2\) and a certain number \(\delta>0\) such that \(\| f(x)-T(x)\| \leq \delta\| x\| ^ p\) for all \(x\in E_ 1\). According to Hyers' method, \(T(x)\) is defined by \(\lim_{n\to\infty}2^{-n}f(2^ nx)\) if \(0\leq p<1\), and \(\lim_{n\to\infty}2^ nf(2^{-n}x)\) if \(p>1\). This phenomenon is called Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability. See \textit{T. M. Rassias} [Math. Appl., Dordr. 430, 341-379 (1998; Zbl 0902.51013)] for more information about the general topic of the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability. In the present paper, the author gives some results on generalized Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of multilinear functional equations in Banach modules over unital \(C^{*}\)-algebras.
