Stability of an incomplete gamma-type functional equation (Q5316153)

The authors define some general form of the incomplete gamma-type functional equation and consider its stability on a restricted domain. Then five applications of the main theorem are given for specific functional equations of this type. In particular, for the incomplete gamma functional equation itself: \[ f(x+1,y)=xf(x,y)+e^{-y}y^{x}\qquad x>0,\;y\geq 0.\eqno{(1)} \] It is proved that if a function \(g:(0,\infty)\times [0,\infty)\to\mathbb R\) satisfies the inequality \[ | g(x+1,y)-xg(x,y)-e^{-y}y^{x}| \leq \delta,\qquad x>c>0,\;y\geq 0 \] with \(\delta>0\), then there exists a unique solution \(f:(0,\infty)\times [0,\infty)\to\mathbb R\) of the equation (1) and such that \[ | f(x,y)-g(x,y)| \leq\frac{e\delta}{x},\qquad x>c>0,\;y\geq 0. \] Among the other four considered equations are the \textit{beta} and the \textit{Schröder} functional equations. For them similar stability results are derived.
