Stability problem of Ulam for generalized forms of Cauchy functional equation (Q2575039)

In 1992, \textit{Th.M. Rassias} and \textit{J. Tabor} [J. Nat. Geom. 1, No.~2, 65--69 (1992; Zbl 0757.47032)] asked about the stability problem for the general linear functional equation \[ f(ax + by + c) = Af(x) + Bf(y) +C \] with \(abAB \neq 0\). The authors of the present paper investigate the general solution and the generalized Hyers--Ulam--Rassias stability of the following generalized form of the above equation: \[ g(\sum_{i=1}^n a_ix_i + c) = \sum_{i=1}^n A_ig(x_i) +C, \] where \(n > 1\), \(g\) is a mapping of a vector space \(G_1\) into a Banach space \(G_2\) and \(c \in G_1, C \in G_2\) are given vectors. They nicely use the notion of square symmetric operation; see e.g. \textit{Z. Páles, P. Volkmann} and \textit{R. D. Luce} [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95, No.~22, 12772--12775 (1998; Zbl 0930.39020)].
