Review text

The functional equation \(f(xy)+f(x+y)=f(xy+x)+f(y)\) was introduced in 1980 by T. M. K. Davison. The approximate remainder \[ \phi(x,y)=f(xy)+f(x+y)-f(xy+x)-f(y) \] is studied for functions \(f:G\to E\), where \(G\) is an algebra over the rational number field with a unit element \(e\) and \(E\) is a real or complex Hausdorff topological vector space. Put \[ \varphi(x,y)=\phi\Bigl({x\over 2}-{y\over 6},{2\over 3}y\Bigr) +\phi\Bigl({x\over 2}-{y\over 6},{2\over 3}y+e\Bigr) -\phi\Bigl(x-{y\over 3},{y\over 3}\Bigr). \] Theorem 1 gives the conditions under which for some positive integer \(p\) and for all \(x\in G\) there exists a limit \(T(x)=\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}{f(p^nx)\over p^n}\) and \(T:G\to E\) is an additive function such that \[ T(x)-f(x)+f(\theta)=\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}{1\over p^n}\sum_{k=1}^{p^n-1}\bigl[\varphi(x,kx)-\varphi(\theta,kx)\bigr]. \] This is the main tool to discuss an approximate remainder \(\phi\) in the case where \(E\) is a Banach space. Several results on the stability of Hyers--Ulam--Rassias type are proved. In particular, the result due to S. M. Jung and P. K. Sahoo is improved. The correct reference to the paper containing that result (quoted as [7]) should be: S. M. Jung and P. K. Sahoo, Hyers--Ulam--Rassias stability of an equation of Davison, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 238, 297-304 (1999; Zbl 0933.39052).
