Some new stability results of a Cauchy-Jensen equation in incomplete normed spaces (Q1995899)

\textit{M. E. Gordji} et al. [Fixed Point Theory 18, No. 2, 569--578 (2017; Zbl 1443.47051)] dealt with the notion of orthogonal sets and gave a real generalization of the Banach fixed point theorem in incomplete metric spaces. In this paper, the authors, by using some ideas from the above mentioned paper, establish a generalized stability for the functional equation \[af\left(\frac{x+y}{a}+z\right)=f(x)+f(y)+af(z),\] where \(a\geq 2\) is a fixed positive integer. This is done in SO-complete normed spaces instead of Banach spaces.
