Stability Of The Homogeneous Equation (Q4238050)

Let \(X\) and \(Y\) be normed spaces. Assume that \(F:X\to Y\) satisfy the functional inequality \[ \bigl\|f(sx)- sf(x)\bigr\|\leq \varepsilon \bigl(|s|^p +\|x\|^q \bigr) \] for \(s\in K\) (the set of real or complex numbers). Under some additional assumptions about \(p\) and \(q\) the author has proved that \(f\) has to be a homogeneous function i.e. \[ f(sx)= sf(x) \quad\text{for} \quad S\in K,\;x\in X. \] In this case we say that the superstability in the sense of Heyers-Ulam occurs. Moreover, the problem of Hyers-Ulam stability of the homogeneous equation is investigated. Also some interesting examples related to these problems are presented.
