Introduction In 1940, Ulam [21] raised a question concerning the stability problem of group homomorphisms: Given a group G1 , a metric group (G2 , d), a number ε > 0 and a mapping f : G1 −→ G2 which satisfies the inequality d(f (xy), f (x)f (y)) < ε for all x, y ∈ G1 , does there exist a homomorphism h : G1 −→ G2 and a constant k > 0, depending only on G1 and G2 such that d(f (x), h(x)) ≤ kε for all x in G1 ? The case of approximately additive mappings was solved by D. H. Hyers [8] under the assumption that G1 and G2 are Banach spaces. In 1978, Th. M. Rassias [16] gave a remarkable generalization of the Hyers’s result which allows the Cauchy difference to be unbounded. Since then, several mathematicians have been attracted to the results of Hyers and Rassias and investigated a number of stability problems of different functional equations. See for example the monographs of the following references [5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 16]. The quadratic functional equation (1.1) f (x + y) + f (x − y) = 2f (x) + 2f (y), x, y ∈ G has been much studied. It was generalized by Stetkær [19] to the more general equation (1.2) f (x + y) + f (x + σ(y)) = 2f (x) + 2f (y), x, y ∈ G, where σ is an automorphism of the abelian group G such that σ 2 = I, (I denotes the identity). A stability result for the quadratic functional equation (1.1) was derived by Skof [18], Cholewa [3] and by Czerwik [4].

Székelyhidi [20] extended the Hyers’s result to amenable semigroups. He replaced the original proof given by Hyers by a new one based on the use of invariant means. In [22] Yang obtained the stability of the quadratic functional equation (1.3) f (xy) + f (xy −1 ) = 2f (x) + 2f (y), x, y ∈ G, in amenable groups. The purpose of the present paper is a joint treatment of the functional equations (1.1) and (1.3) and their generalization, where the unifying object is a morphism like the one introduced in (1.2). New features of the paper: Hyers-Ulam Stability Bouikhalene Belaid, Elqorachi Elhoucien and Redouani Ahmed vol. 8, iss. 2, art. 47, 2007 Title Page Contents 1. In comparison with [20] and [22], we work with a general morphism σ. 2. In contrast to [1] and [2] we here allow the (semi)group G to be non-abelian. In Section 2, we obtain the stability of the quadratic functional equation (1.4) f (xy) + f (xσ(y)) = 2f (x) + 2f (y), x, y ∈ G, where σ is a morphism of G such that σ ◦ σ = I. The result of this section can be compared with the ones of Yang [22] because we formulate them in the same way by using some ideas from [22]. In Section 3, we obtain the stability of the generalized quadratic functional equation (1.5) f (xy) + g(xσ(y)) = f (x) + g(y), x, y ∈ G, where σ is an automorphism of G such that σ ◦ σ = I.

Stability of Equation (1.4) in Amenable Semigroups In this section we investigate the Hyers-Ulam stability of the quadratic functional equation (2.1) f (xy) + f (xσ(y)) = 2f (x) + 2f (y), x, y ∈ G, where G is an amenable semigroup with unit element e and σ : G −→ G is a morphism of G, i.e. σ is an antiautomorphism: σ(xy) = σ(y)σ(x) for all x, y ∈ G or σ is an automorphism: σ(xy) = σ(x)σ(y) for all x, y ∈ G. Furthermore, we assume that σ satisfies (σ ◦ σ)(x) = x, for all x ∈ G. We recall that a semigroup G is said to be amenable if there exists an invariant mean on the space of the bounded complex functions defined on G. We refer to [7] for the definition and properties of invariant means. Throughout this paper, as in [5], we use the following definition. Definition 2.1. Let G be a semigroup and B a Banach space. We say that the equation (2.2) f (xy) + f (xσ(y)) = 2f (x) + 2f (y), x, y ∈ G is stable for the pair (G, B) if for every function f : G −→ B such that 1 ≤ δ, x, y ∈ G for some δ ≥ 0, (2.3) [f (xy) + f (xσ(y))] − f (x) − f (y) 2 there exists a solution q of equation (2.2) and a constant γ ≥ 0 dependent only on δ such that (2.4) kf (x) − q(x)k ≤ γ for all x ∈ G.

Let σ be an antiautomorphism of the semigroup G such that σ◦σ = I. Let B a Banach space. Suppose that f : G −→ B satisfies the inequality (2.3). Then for every x ∈ G, the limit " # n X n−k n−k k−1 n 2k−1 f ((x2 σ(x)2 )2 ) (2.5) g(x) = lim 2−2n f (x2 ) + n→+∞ k=1 exists. Moreover, g : G −→ C is a unique function satisfying (2.6) kf (x) − g(x)k ≤ δ, and g(x2 ) + g(xσ(x)) = 4g(x) for all x ∈ G. Proof. Assume that f : G −→ C satisfies the inequality (2.3) and define by induction the sequence function f0 (x) = f (x) and fn (x) = 21 [fn−1 (x2 ) + fn−1 (xσ(x))] for n ≥ 1. By direct computation, we obtain " # n X n n−k n−k k−1 fn (x) = 2−n f (x2 ) + 2k−1 f ((x2 σ(x)2 )2 ) k=1 for all n ≥ 1. By letting x = y, in (2.3) we get 1 2 (2.7) 2 [f (x ) + f (xσ(x))] − 2f (x) ≤ δ, kf1 (x) − 2f0 (x)k ≤ δ for all x ∈ G. In the following, we prove by induction the inequalities (2.9) vol. 8, iss. 2, art. 47, 2007 Title Page Contents JJ II J I Page 7 of 36 Go Back Full Screen Close so (2.8) Hyers-Ulam Stability Bouikhalene Belaid, Elqorachi Elhoucien and Redouani Ahmed kfn (x) − 2fn−1 (x)k ≤ δ (2.10) kfn (x) − 2n f (x)k ≤ (2n − 1)δ for all n ∈ N and x ∈ G. It is clear that (2.8) is (2.9) for n = 1. The inductive step must now be demonstrated to hold true for the integer n + 1, that is kfn+1 (x) − 2fn (x)k 1 1 2 2 = 2 [fn (x ) + fn (xσ(x))] − 2 2 [fn−1 (x ) + fn−1 (xσ(x))] 1 1 2 2 ≤ [kfn (x ) − 2fn−1 (x )k] + [f (xσ(x)) − 2f (xσ(x))] n n−1 2 2 1 ≤ [δ + δ] = δ. 2 This proves that (2.9) is true for any natural number n. Now, by using the inequality (2.11) (2.12) kfn (x) − 2n f (x)k ≤ kfn (x) − 2fn−1 (x)k + 2kfn−1 (x) − 2n−1 f (x)k we check that (2.10) holds true for any n ∈ N. Let us define " # n X fn (x) −2n 2n k−1 2n−k 2n−k 2k−1 (2.13) gn (x) = =2 f (x ) + 2 f ((x σ(x) ) ) 2n k=1 for any positive integer n and x ∈ G. Now, by using (2.11) and (2.13), we get (2.14) kgn+1 (x) − gn (x)k ≤ δ 2n+1 .

Since B is complete, we can define g(x) = limn−→+∞ gn (x) for any x ∈ G. From (2.10), one can verify that g satisfies the first assertion of (2.6). Now, we will show that g satisfies the second assertion of (2.6). By induction one proves that the sequence fn (x) satisfies 1 2 [fn (x ) + fn (xσ(x))] − fn (x) − fn (x) ≤ δ (2.15) 2 for all n ∈ N. For n = 1, we have 1 2 (2.16) [f1 (x ) + f1 (xσ(x))] − f1 (x) − f1 (x) 2 h i 1 1 22 2 2 2 2 = f x + f (x σ(x) ) + f ((xσ(x)) ) + f ((xσ(x)) ) 2 2 1 1 2 2 − [f (x ) + f (xσ(x))] − [f (x ) + f (xσ(x))] 2 2 h i 1 1 22 2 2 2 ≤ f x + f (x σ(x) ) − 2f (x ) 2 2 1 1 2 2 f ((xσ(x)) ) + f ((xσ(x)) ) − 2f (xσ(x)) + 2 2 1 ≤ [δ + δ] = δ. 2 So (2.15) is true for n = 1. We assume then that (2.15) holds for n and we prove Hyers-Ulam Stability Bouikhalene Belaid, Elqorachi Elhoucien and Redouani Ahmed vol. 8, iss. 2, art. 47, 2007 Title Page Contents JJ II J I Page 9 of 36 Go Back Full Screen Close that (2.15) is true for n + 1. 1 2 (2.17) 2 [fn+1 (x ) + fn+1 (xσ(x))] − fn+1 (x) − fn+1 (x) h i 1 1 22 2 2 2 2 = f x + f (x σ(x) ) + f ((xσ(x)) ) + f ((xσ(x)) ) n n n 2 2 n 1 1 2 2 − [fn (x ) + fn (xσ(x))] − fn (x ) + fn (xσ(x)) 2 2 h i 1 1 22 2 2 2 ≤ f x + f (x σ(x) ) − 2f (x ) n n n 2 2 1 1 2 2 + [fn ((xσ(x)) ) + fn ((xσ(x)) ) − 2fn (xσ(x))] 2 2 1 ≤ [δ + δ] = δ. 2 Consequently, the sequence gn (x) satisfies 1 2 [gn (x ) + gn (xσ(x))] − gn (x) − gn (x) ≤ δ (2.18) 2n 2 for all n ∈ N and then by letting n → +∞ we get the desired result. Assume now that there exists another mapping h : G −→ B which satisfies kf (x) − h(x)k ≤ δ and h(x2 ) + h(xσ(x)) = 4h(x) for all x ∈ G. First, we will prove by mathematical induction that (2.19) kfn (x) − 2n h(x)k ≤ δ for all x ∈ G.

From (2.19), we obtain fn2(x) − h(x) ≤ n (2.21) δ , 2n so by letting n → +∞ and by using the definition of g we get g = h. This completes the proof of the theorem. By using the precedent proof we easily obtain the following result. Proposition 2.2. Let σ be an automorphism of the semigroup G such that σ ◦ σ = I. Let B a Banach space.

The following result shows that in this context the only property of B (Definition 2.1) involved is the completeness. For the proof, we refer to the one used by Yang in [22]. Theorem 2.3. Let σ be a morphism of the semigroup G such that σ ◦σ = I. Suppose that equation (2.2) is stable for the pair (G, C) (resp.

Lemma 3.1. Let G be an amenable semigroup. Let σ be an homomorphism of G such that σ ◦ σ = I and let f : G −→ C be a function. Assume that there exists δ ≥ 0 such that JJ II J I Page 22 of 36 |f (xy) + f (xσ(y)) − 2f (x)| ≤ δ Go Back for all x, y ∈ G.
