The stability problem of functional equations was proposed by \textit{S. M. Ulam} (1964; Zbl 0137.24201), \textit{D. H. Hyers} [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 27, 222--224 (1941; Zbl 0061.36403)] gave the first affirmative answer to this problem for the additive Cauchy equation and \textit{Th. M. Rassias} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 72, 297--300 (1978; Zbl 0398.47040)] generalized the result of Hyers by considering unbounded Cauchy differences. Moreover, \textit{P. Gavruta} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 184, 431--436 (1994; Zbl 0818.46043)] and \textit{S.-M. Jung} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 204, 221--226 (1996; Zbl 0888.46018)] generalized the result of Rassias in a way pointed out by Rassias. In this paper, the author generalizes the results of Hyers, Rassias, Gavruta and Jung concerning the stability of additive Cauchy equations. Indeed, he proves the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of approximately additive mappings from a power-associative groupoid into a real (or complex) \(F\)-space.
