Orthogonal stability of additive type equations (Q2373347)

Suppose that \((\mathcal X,\perp)\) is a symmetric orthogonality module and \(\mathcal Y\) a Banach module over a unital Banach algebra \(\mathcal A\) and \(f:\mathcal X \to \mathcal Y\) is a mapping satisfying \[ \| f(ax_1+ax_2)+(-1)^{k+1}f(ax_1-ax_2)-2af(x_k)\| \leq \varepsilon, \] for \(k=1\) or \(2\), for some \(\varepsilon \geq 0\), for all \(a\) in the unit sphere \(\mathcal A_1\) of \(\mathcal A\) and all \(x_1, x_2 \in \mathcal X\) with \(x_1 \perp x_2\). The authors prove the Hyers--Ulam stability of the previous equations, by using the direct method.
