The authors generalize a well known classical result due to Hyers and Ulam on stability of isometries by considering the inequality \[ |\|f(x)-f(y)\|-\|x-y\||\leq \delta + \theta \|x-y\|^p \tag{1} \] on the restricted domains. They prove the following theorem: Let \(E\) be a real Hilbert space. Let \(d \geq 1\), \(\delta \geq 0\), \(0 \leq \theta \leq 16\) and \(0 <p <1\) be constants with \(2d-2\theta d^p - \delta \geq 0\). Denote by \(B\) the punctuated sphere defined by \(B = \{ x \in E: 0 < \|x\|\leq d \}\). If a function \(f : E \to E\) satisfies the functional inequality (1) for all \(x, y \in E \setminus B\), then there exists a unique linear isometry \(I : E \to E\) such that \[ \|f(x) - I(x) - f(0)\|\leq 2 \delta + {{\sqrt{6\delta + 8 \theta}} \over {\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{2^p}}} \|x\|^{(1+p)/2} \] for all \(x \in E \setminus B\). They also generalize some other classical results.
