Approximate additive mappings in 2-Banach spaces and related topics (Q624570)

Let \(\mathcal{X}\) be a linear space over \(\mathbb{R}\) with dimension greater than \(1\) and let \(\| .,.\|:\mathcal{X}\times\mathcal{X}\to \mathbb R\) be a function with the following properties: {\parindent6.5mm \begin{itemize}\item[(a)] \(\| x,y\|=0\) if and only if \(x\) and \(y\) are linearly dependent; \item[(b)] \(\| x,y\|=\| y,x\|\); \item[(c)] \(\| \alpha x,y\|=|\alpha|\| x,y\|\); \item[(d)] \(\| x,y+z\|\leq \| x,y\|+\| x,z\|\). \end{itemize}} The function \(\| .,.\|\) is called a 2-norm and the pair \((\mathcal{X},\| .,.\|)\) is called a 2-normed space. A sequence \(\{x_n\}\) in a 2-normed space \(\mathcal{X}\) is called a Cauchy sequence if there are two points \(y, z \in \mathcal{X}\) such that \(y\) and \(z\) are linearly independent and \[ \lim_{m,n \to \infty} \| x_n-x_m,y\|=0,\quad \lim_{m,n \to \infty} \| x_n-x_m,z\|=0. \] A sequence \(\{x_n\}\) in a 2-normed space \(\mathcal{X}\) is called a convergent sequence if there is an \(x \in \mathcal{X}\) such that \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \| x_n-x,y\|=0 \] for all \(y \in \mathcal{X}\). A linear 2-normed space in which every Cauchy sequence is convergent is called a 2-Banach space. In the paper under review, the author investigates the stability in the sense of Ulam-Hyers of additive, Jensen and quadratic mappings in 2-Banach spaces. The methods are the standard ones.
