On a Cauchy-Jensen functional equation and its stability (Q852778)

A mapping \(f\) is called Cauchy-Jensen if it satisfies the system of functional equations \(f(x+y, z)=f(x, z)+f(y, z)\) and \(2f(x, \frac{y+z}{2})=f(x, y) + f(x, z)\). The authors show that a mapping \(f\) is Cauchy-Jensen if and only if \(2f(x+y, \frac{z+w}{2})= f(x, z)+f(x, w)+f(y, z)+f(y, w)\). They also prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of the latter functional equation and the above system of equations.
