Bi-additive \(s\)-functional inequalities and quasi-multipliers on Banach algebras (Q2002511)

The authors first solve the following bi-additive \(s\)-functional inequalities: \begin{multline*} \| f(x+y, z-w) + f(x-y, z+w)-2f(x,z)+2 f(y, w)\| \\ \le \|s(2f\left(\frac {x+y}{2}, z-w\right) + 2f\left(\frac{x-y}{2}, z+w\right)-2f(x,z)+ 2 f(y, w))\| , \end{multline*} \begin{multline*} \|2f\left(\frac{x+y}{2}, z-w\right) +2 f\left(\frac{x-y}{2},z+w\right)-2 f(x,z)+2 f(y, w)\| \\ \le \|s (f(x+y, z-w)+f(x-y, z+w)-2f(x,z) +2 f(y, w))\|,\end{multline*} and then study their Hyers-Ulam stability in complex Banach spaces. Here \(s\) is a fixed nonzero complex number with \(|s |< 1\). They show the stability of quasi-multipliers on Banach algebras and unital \(C^*\)-algebras associated with the bi-additive \(s\)-functional inequalities above. They prove their results by employing the direct method.
