On the generalized Hyers--Ulam--Rassias stability in Banach modules over a \(C^{*}\)-algebra (Q596706)

In 1940, \textit{S. M. Ulam} [``Problems in modern mathematics. First published under the title `A collection of mathematical problems'\,'' (Science Editions. New York: John Wiley and Sons, Inc.) (1964; Zbl 0137.24201)] posed the following problem concerning the stability of group homomorphisms: Under what condition does there exist an additive mapping near an approximately additive mapping? In 1941, \textit{D. H. Hyers} [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 27, 222-224 (1941; Zbl 0061.26403)] gave a partial solution of Ulam's problem in the context of Banach spaces. In 1978, \textit{Th. M. Rassias} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 72, 297-300 (1978; Zbl 0398.47040)] generalized Hyers' result. Over the last decades, several stability problems for functional equations have been investigated in the spirit of Hyers--Ulam--Rassias; cf. \textit{S. Czerwik} (ed.) [``Stability of Functional Equations of Ulam--Hyers--Rassias Type'' (Hadronic Press, ISBN 1-57485-057-1) (2003)]. A generalized Hyers--Ulam--Rassias stability of the quadratic functional equation \[ f(\sum_ {i=1}^ nx_ i)+\sum_ {1\leq i<j\leq n} f(x_ i-x_ j)=n\sum_ {i=1}^ n f(x_ i) \] was investigated by \textit{J.-H. Bae} and \textit{K.-W. Jun} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 258, 183-193 (2001; Zbl 0983.39013)]. In the present paper, the authors extend the generalized Hyers--Ulam--Rassias stability of the above \(n\)-dimensional quadratic functional equation to Banach modules over a \(C^{*}\)-algebra. \textit{C. G. Park} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 291, 214-223 (2004; Zbl 1046.39023)] recently treated the stability of generalized quadratic mappings in Banach modules.
