Asymptotic properties of isometries. (Q1857003)

Let \((X,d_1)\) and \((Y,d_2)\) be metric spaces. If \(I: X\to Y\) satisfies the equation \[ d_2[I(x), I(y)]= d_1(x,y) \] for all \(x,y\in X\), then \(I\) is called an isometry. Following Ulam and Hyers we call a mapping \(f: X\to Y\) an \(\varepsilon\)-isometry if \(f\) satisfies the inequality \[ | d_2[f(x), f(y)]- d_1(x,y)|\leq \varepsilon \] for all \(x,y\in X\). Let us assume that there exist an isometry \(I: X\to Y\) and a constant \(s\geq 0\) such that \[ d_2[f(x), I(x)]\leq s\varepsilon\qquad\text{for }x\in X. \] Then we say that the isometry \(I: X\to Y\) is stable in the Ulam-Hyers sense. Many results have been obtained in this direction. In this paper some interesting results concerning the stability of isometries both on unbounded and bounded domains are presented.
