Stability of a quartic functional equation (Q1615358)

The authors introduce an {\(n\)-dimensional quartic functional equation} and show that this new equation generalizes some known {quartic functional equations}. The main task of the paper is to verify the stability (in the Ulam-Hyers sense) of the \(n\)-dimensional quartic equation for mappings between a normed space and a Banach space. Two such results are obtained. The first one is proved using the so-called \textit{direct method} (following the original idea of Hyers), whereas the second one is based on a fixed point theorem.
