In this paper, we introduce linear operators and obtain their exact norms defined on the function spaces Xλ and Zλ6 . These operators are constructed from the quartic functional equations and their Pexider versions. 1. Introduction Let X and Y be complex normed spaces. Given λ ≥ 0, denote by Xλ the linear space of all functions f : X → Y with the condition kf (x)k ≤ Mf eλkxk , ∀x ∈ X, where Mf ≥ 0 is a constant depending on f . It is easy to show that the space Xλ is a normed space if it is equipped with the norm kf k := sup {e−λkxk kf (x)k}. x∈X Let us denote by Xλn the linear space of all functions ϕ : X × · · · × X → Y for {z } | n times which there exists a constant Mϕ ≥ 0 with kϕ(x1 , · · · , xn )k ≤ Mϕ e λ n P kxi k i=1 ∀x1 , · · · , xn ∈ X. , It is easy to see that the space Xλn with the norm kϕk := sup {e −λ n P i=1 kxi k kϕ(x1 , · · · , xn )k} x1 ,··· ,xn ∈X is a normed space. We denote by Zλm the normed space f1 , · · · , fm ∈ Xλ } together with the norm Lm i=1 Xλ = {(f1 , · · · , fm ) : k(f1 , · · · , fm )k := max{kf1 k, · · · , kfm k}. S. Czerwik and K. Dlutek [1, 2] investigated some properties of Pexiderized Cauchy, quadratic and Jensen operators on the function space Xλ . These results Received May 10, 2011. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 47A30, 47B38, 39B52. Key words and phrases. Pexiderized quartic operator; operator norm; Xλ spaces. 62 ZHIHUA WANG and LEI LIU have extended in the paper [7]. In fact, M. S. Moslehian, T. Riedel and A. Saadatpour [7] studied the Pexiderized generalized Jensen and Pexiderized generalized quadratic operators on the function space Xλ and provided more general results regarding their norms. S. M. Jung [3] investigated the norm of the cubic operators on the function spaces Zλ5 . Recently, A. Najati and A. Rahimi [8] introduced Euler-Lagrange type cubic operators and gave their exact norms defined on the function spaces Xλ and Zλ5 . S. H. Lee, S. M. Im and I. S. Hwang [5] considered the following quartic functional equation 1 1 x + y + 4f x−y f (x + y) + f (x − y) = 4f 2 2 (1.1) 1 + 24f x − 6f (y). 2 They obtained the general solution of equation (1.1) and proved the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of this equation. Y. S. Lee and S. Y. Chung [6] introduced the following quartic functional equation, which is equivalent to (1.1), 1 1 x + y + a2 f x−y f (x + y) + f (x − y) = a2 f a a (1.2) 1 + 2a2 (a2 − 1)f x − 2(a2 − 1)f (y) a for fixed integers a with a 6= 0, ±1. Moreover, D. S. Kang [4] introduced the following generalized quartic functional equation 1 1 1 1 f x+ y +f x− y b a b a (1.3) 1 1 1 1 = (ab) f x+ y +f x− y ab ab ab ab 2 2 2 2 + 2a (a − b )f 1 1 2 2 2 x − 2b (a − b )f y ab ab for fixed integers a, b with a, b 6= 0, a ± b 6= 0. Next, we will introduce linear operators which are constructed from the quartic and the Pexiderization of the quartic function equations (1.2) and (1.3). P 6 2 Definition 1.1. The operators QP 1 , Q2 : Zλ → Xλ are defined by 1 1 2 2 x+y −m f x−y QP (f , · · · , f )(x, y) := f (x+y)+f (x−y)−m f 4 1 6 1 2 3 1 m m − 2m2 (m2 − 1)f5 1 x + 2(m2 − 1)f6 (y), m PEXIDER TYPE QUARTIC OPERATORS AND THEIR NORMS QP 2 (f1 , · · · , f6 )(x, y) := f1 63 1 1 1 1 x + y + f2 x− y b a b a 1 1 1 1 − (ab) f3 x + y + f4 x− y ab ab ab ab 2 2 2 2 − 2a (a − b )f5 1 1 2 2 2 x + 2b (a − b )f6 y , ab ab where a, b and m are fixed integers with a, b 6= 0, a ± b 6= 0 and m 6= 0, ±1. Definition 1.2. The operators Q1 , Q2 : Xλ → Xλ2 are defined by 1 1 Q1 (f )(x, y) := f (x + y) + f (x − y) − m2 f ( x + y) − m2 f x−y m m 2 2 − 2m (m − 1)f Q2 (f )(x, y) := f 1 x + 2(m2 − 1)f (y), m 1 1 1 1 x+ y +f x− y b a b a 1 1 1 1 − (ab) f x+ y +f x− y ab ab ab ab 2 − 2a2 (a2 − b2 )f 1 1 x + 2b2 (a2 − b2 )f y ab ab where a, b and m are fixed integers with a, b 6= 0, a ± b 6= 0 and m 6= 0, ±1. P In this paper, we will give the exact norms of the operators QP 1 , Q2 on the 6 function space Zλ and norms of the operators Q1 , Q2 on the function space Xλ . 2. Main results Throughout this section, a, b and m are fixed integers with a, b 6= 0, a ± b 6= 0, and m 6= 0, ±1. In the following theorems give us the exact norms of operators P QP 1 , Q2 , Q1 and Q2 . 6 2 Theorem 2.1. The operator QP 1 : Zλ → Xλ is a bounded linear operator with (2.1) 2 2 kQP 1 k = 2m (m + 1). 64 ZHIHUA WANG and LEI LIU 2 2 Proof. First, we show that kQP 1 k ≤ 2m (m + 1). Since it holds that 1 1 , x − y , 1 x , kyk ≤ kxk + kyk max kx + yk , kx − yk, x + y m m m for all x, y ∈ X, we obtain kQP 1 (f1 , · · · , f6 )k −λ(kxk+kyk) = sup e x,y∈X 2 −m f4 f1 (x + y) + f2 (x − y) − m2 f3 1 x + y m 1 1 2 2 2 x − y − 2m (m − 1)f5 x + 2(m − 1)f6 (y) m m ≤ sup e−λkx+yk kf1 (x + y)k + sup e−λkx−yk kf2 (x − y)k x,y∈X x,y∈X 1 1 + m2 sup e−λk m x+yk f x + y 3 m x,y∈X +m 2 sup e x,y∈X 1 −λk m x−y k f4 1 x − y m 1 1 + 2(m2 − 1) sup e−λkyk kf6 (y)k + 2m2 (m2 − 1) sup e−λk m xk f x 5 m x∈X y∈X = kf1 k + kf2 k + m2 kf3 k + m2 kf4 k + 2m2 (m2 − 1)kf5 k + 2(m2 − 1)kf6 k ≤ 2m2 (m2 + 1) max{kf1 k, kf2 k, kf3 k, kf4 k, kf5 k, kf6 k} = 2m2 (m2 + 1)k(f1 , · · · , f6 )k for each (f1 , · · · , f6 ) ∈ Zλ6 . This implies that (2.2) 2 2 kQP 1 k ≤ 2m (m + 1). For a fixed ν ∈ Y with kνk = 1 and a sequence {ξn }n of positive real numbers decreasing to 0, we define 2λξn ν, if kxk = 2ξn , kxk = 0 or kxk = ξn , e 1 2λξn (2.3) fn (x) = 1 ± 1 ξn ξn , − e ν, if kxk = or kxk = m m 0, otherwise PEXIDER TYPE QUARTIC OPERATORS AND THEIR NORMS for all x ∈ X. Then we have −λkxk (2.4) e kfn (x)k = 65 e2λξn , eλξn , 1, if kxk = 0, if kxk = ξn , if kxk = 2ξn , 1 1 (2−|1+ m |)λξn , if kxk = 1 + ξn , e m 1 1 e(2−|1− m |)λξn , if kxk = 1 − ξn , m 1 1 e(2−| m |)λξn , if kxk = ξn , m 0, otherwise for all x ∈ X, so that fn ∈ Xλ for all positive integers n with kfn k = e2λξn . (2.5) Let u ∈ X be such that kuk = 1 and take x, y ∈ X as x = y = ξn u. Then it follows from (2.3) that −λ(kxk+kyk) kQP kfn (x + y) + fn (x − y) 1 (fn , · · · , fn )k = sup e x,y∈X (2.6) 1 1 x + y − m2 fn x−y m m 1 − 2m2 (m2 − 1)fn x + 2(m2 − 1)fn (y)k m − m2 fn ≥ e−2λξn k2 e2λξn ν + 2m2 e2λξn ν + 2(m4 − 1) e2λξn νk = 2m2 (m2 + 1). 2 2 If we assume that kQP 1 k < 2m (m + 1), then we can choose a positive constant ε with (2.7) 2 2 kQP 1 (fn , · · · , fn )k ≤ (2m (m + 1) − ε)k(fn , · · · , fn )k for all positive integers n. So it follows from (2.5), (2.6) and (2.7) that (2.8) 2 2 2λξn 2m2 (m2 + 1) ≤ kQP 1 (fn , · · · , fn )k ≤ (2m (m + 1) − ε) e for all positive integers n. Since limn→∞ e2λξn = 1, the right-hand side of (2.8) tends to 2m2 (m2 +1)−ε as n → ∞, whence 2m2 (m2 +1) ≤ 2m2 (m2 +1)−ε, which 2 2 leads to a contradiction. Hence we have kQP 1 k = 2m (m + 1). This completes the proof of the theorem. Corollary 2.1. The operator Q1 : Xλ → Xλ2 is a bounded linear operator with (2.9) kQ1 k = 2m2 (m2 + 1). 66 ZHIHUA WANG and LEI LIU Proof. The result follows from the proof of Theorem 2.1. The following corollary is a result of Theorem 2.1 for m = 2. 6 2 Corollary 2.2. The Pexiderized quartic operator QP 1 : Zλ → Xλ given by QP 1 (f1 , · · · , f6 )(x, y) := f1 (x + y) + f2 (x − y) − 4f3 1 − 24f5 x + 6f6 (y) 2 1 1 x + y − 4f4 x−y 2 2 is a bounded linear operator with kQP 1 k = 40. The following corollary is a result of Corollary 2.1 for m = 2. Corollary 2.3. The quartic operator Q1 : Xλ → Xλ2 given by Q1 (f )(x, y) := f (x + y) + f (x − y) − 4f 1 x + 6f (y) − 24f 2 1 1 x + y − 4f x−y 2 2 is a bounded linear operator with kQ1 k = 40. 6 2 Theorem 2.2. The operator QP 2 : Zλ → Xλ is a bounded linear operator with (2.10) 4 4 2 kQP 2 k = 2|a − b | + 2(ab) + 2. 4 4 2 Proof. First, we prove that kQP 2 k ≤ 2|a − b | + 2(ab) + 2. By the assumption we obtain 1 1 , 1 x ± 1 y , 1 x , 1 y ≤ kxk + kyk max x ± y b a ab ab ab ab PEXIDER TYPE QUARTIC OPERATORS AND THEIR NORMS 67 for all x, y ∈ X. Hence we obtain kQP 2 (f1 , · · · , f6 )k 1 1 1 1 = sup e f1 b x + a y + f2 b x − a y x,y∈X 1 1 1 1 2 − (ab) f3 x + y + f4 x− y ab ab ab ab 1 1 −2(a2 − b2 ) a2 f5 x − b2 f 6 y ab ab −λ(kxk+kyk) 1 1 ≤ sup e f1 b x + a y x,y∈X 1 1 1 1 + sup e−λk b x− a yk f x − y 2 b a x,y∈X 1 1 1 1 −λk ab x+ ab yk 2 + (ab) ( sup e f3 x+ y ab ab x,y∈X 1 1 1 1 + sup e−λk ab x− ab yk x − y) f4 ab ab x,y∈X 1 1 1 1 2 −λk ab yk + 2|a2 − b2 | a2 sup e−λk ab xk + b sup e f x f y 5 6 ab ab x∈X y∈X 1 −λk 1b x+ a yk = kf1 k + kf2 k + (ab)2 (kf3 k + kf4 k) + 2a2 |a2 − b2 |kf5 k + 2b2 |a2 − b2 |kf6 k ≤ (2|a4 − b4 | + 2(ab)2 + 2) max{kf1 k, kf2 k, kf3 k, kf4 k, kf5 k, kf6 k} = (2|a4 − b4 | + 2(ab)2 + 2)k(f1 , · · · , f6 )k for each (f1 , · · · , f6 ) ∈ Zλ6 . This implies that (2.11) 4 4 2 kQP 2 k ≤ 2|a − b | + 2(ab) + 2. Let η be a real number such that 1 1−a 1−a 1−a a a (2.12) η∈ / 0, , 1, ± ,± ,± , , . 2 1−b 1+b b 1−b 1+b Let u ∈ X, ν ∈ Y be such that kuk = kνk = 1 and let {ξn }n be a sequence of positive real numbers decreasing to 0. We define 1 η eλ(1+|η|)ξn ν, if x = ( ± )ξn u, b a 1 η λ(1+|η|)ξn −e ν, if x = ( ± )ξn u, (2.13) fn (x) = ab ab 2 2 1 η | λ(1+|η|)ξn − |aa2 −b ν, if x = ξn u, or x = ξn u, −b2 e ab ab 0, otherwise 68 ZHIHUA WANG and LEI LIU for all x ∈ X. Then we obtain η 1 e(1+|η|−| b + a |)λξn , η 1 e(1+|η|−| b − a |)λξn , η 1 + ab |)λξn e(1+|η|−| ab , (2.14) e−λkxk kfn (x)k = η 1 e(1+|η|−| ab − ab |)λξn , (1+|η|−| 1 |)λξn ab , e η (1+|η|−| ab |)λξn , e 0, 1 η if x = + ξn u, b a 1 η if x = − ξn u, b a 1 η if x = + ξn u, ab ab 1 η if x = − ξn u, ab ab 1 if x = ξn u, ab η if x = ξn u, ab otherwise for all x ∈ X, so that fn ∈ Xλ for all positive integers n with 1 η 1 η 1 η kfn k = max{e(1+|η|−| b + a |)λξn , e(1+|η|−| b − a |)λξn , e(1+|η|−| ab + ab |)λξn , (2.15) 1 η 1 η e(1+|η|−| ab − ab |)λξn , e(1+|η|−| ab |)λξn , e(1+|η|−| ab |)λξn }. Let x, y ∈ X be such that x = ξn u and y = ηξn u. Then it follows from the definition of fn that 1 1 1 1 P −λ(kxk+kyk) kQ2 (fn , · · · , fn )k = sup e f1 b x + a y + f2 b x − a y x,y∈X 1 1 1 1 − (ab)2 f3 x + y + f4 x− y ab ab ab ab −2a2 (a2 − b2 )f5 (2.16) 1 1 x + 2b2 (a2 − b2 )f6 y ab ab ≥ e−λ(1+|η|)ξn k2e−λ(1+|η|)ξn + 2(ab)2 e−λ(1+|η|)ξn + 2(a2 + b2 )|a2 − b2 |e−λ(1+|η|)ξn k = 2|a4 − b4 | + 2(ab)2 + 2. 4 4 2 If on the contrary kQP 2 k < 2|a − b | + 2(ab) + 2, then there exists ε > 0 such that (2.17) 4 4 2 kQP 2 (fn , · · · , fn )k ≤ (2|a − b | + 2(ab) + 2 − ε)k(fn , · · · , fn )k PEXIDER TYPE QUARTIC OPERATORS AND THEIR NORMS 69 for all positive integers n. So it follows from (2.16) and (2.17) that 2|a4 − b4 | + 2(ab)2 + 2 ≤ kQP 2 (fn , · · · , fn )k (2.18) ≤ (2|a4 − b4 | + 2(ab)2 + 2 − ε)kfn k for all positive integers n. Since lim ξn = 0, it follows from (2.15) that lim kfn k = n→∞ n→∞ 1, so the right-hand side of (2.18) tends to 2|a4 − b4 | + 2(ab)2 + 2 − ε as n → ∞, whence (2.19) 2|a4 − b4 | + 2(ab)2 + 2 ≤ 2|a4 − b4 | + 2(ab)2 + 2 − ε, 4 4 2 which is a contradiction. Hence we have kQP 2 k = 2|a − b | + 2(ab) + 2. This completes the proof of the theorem. Corollary 2.4. The operator Q2 : Xλ → Xλ2 is a bounded linear operator with (2.20) kQ2 k = 2|a4 − b4 | + 2(ab)2 + 2. Proof. The result follows from the proof of Theorem 2.2. References 1.
