Recently the generalizedHyers-Ulam or Hyers-Ulam-Rassias m mstability of the following functional equation m j ri xi 2 j1 f−rj xj 1≤i≤m,i / i1 ri fxi mf i1 ri xi where r1 , . . . , rm ∈ R, proved 0, ri , rj / 0 for some in Banach modules over a unital C∗ -algebra. It was shown that if m i1 ri / 1 ≤ i < j ≤ m and a mapping f : X → Y satisfies the above mentioned functional equation then the mapping f : X → Y is Cauchy additive. In this paper we prove the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of the above mentioned functional equation in random normed spaces briefly RNS. 1. Introduction and Preliminaries The stability problem of functional equations originated from a question of Ulam 1 concerning the stability of group homomorphisms. Hyers 2 gave a first affirmative partial answer to the question of Ulam for Banach spaces. Hyers’ Theorem was generalized by Aoki 3 for additive mappings and by Rassias 4 for linear mappings by considering an unbounded Cauchy difference. The paper of Rassias has provided a lot of influence in the development of what we call the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of functional equations. In 1994, a generalization of Rassias’ theorem was obtained by Găvruţa 5 by replacing the bound xp yp by a general control function ϕx, y. The functional equation: f x y f x − y 2fx 2f y , 1.1 is called a quadratic functional equation. In particular, every solution of the quadratic functional equation is said to be a quadratic mapping. The generalized Hyers-Ulam stability problem for 2 Mathematical Problems in Engineering the quadratic functional equation was proved by Skof 6 for mappings f : X → Y , where X is a normed space and Y is a Banach space. Cholewa 7 noticed that the theorem of Skof is still true if the relevant domain X is replaced by an Abelian group. Czerwik 8 proved the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the quadratic functional equation. The stability problems of several functional equations have been extensively investigated by a number of authors and there are many interesting results concerning this problem see 2, 4, 5, 9–28. In the sequel, we will adopt the usual terminology, notions, and conventions of the theory of random normed spaces as in 29. Throughout this paper, the spaces of all probability distribution functions are denoted by Δ . Elements of Δ are functions F : R ∪ {−∞, ∞} → 0, 1, such that F is left continuous and nondecreasing on R, F0 0 and F∞ 1. It’s clear that the subset D {F ∈ Δ : l− F∞ 1}, where l− fx limt → x− ft, is a subset of Δ . The space Δ is partially ordered by the usual point-wise ordering of functions, that is, for all t ∈ R, F ≤ G if and only if Ft ≤ Gt. For every a ≥ 0, Ha t is the element of D defined by Ha t ⎧ ⎨0 if t ≤ a ⎩1 if t > a. 1.2 One can easily show that the maximal element for Δ in this order is the distribution function H0 t. Definition 1.1. A function T : 0, 12 → 0, 1 is a continuous triangular norm briefly a tnorm if T satisfies the following conditions: i T is commutative and associative; ii T is continuous; iii T x, 1 x for all x ∈ 0, 1; iv T x, y ≤ T z, w whenever x ≤ z and y ≤ w for all x, y, z, w ∈ 0, 1. Three typical examples of continuous t-norms are TP x, y xy, Tmax x, y max{a b − 1, 0}, and TM x, y mina, b. Recall that, if T is a t-norm and {xn } is a given of numbers n−1 n n 1 xi is defined recursively by Ti1 x1 and Ti1 xi T Ti1 xi , xn for n ≥ 2. in 0, 1, Ti1 Definition 1.2. A random normed space briefly RNS is a triple X, μ , T , where X is a vector space, T is a continuous t-norm, and μ : X → D is a mapping such that the following conditions hold. i μ x t H0 t for all t > 0 if and only if x 0. 0, x ∈ X and t ≥ 0. ii μ αx t μ x t/|α| for all α ∈ R, α / iii μ xy t s ≥ T μ x t, μ y s, for all x, y ∈ X and t, s ≥ 0. Definition 1.3. Let X, μ , T be an RNS. i A sequence {xn } in X is said to be convergent to x ∈ X in X if for all t > 0, limn → ∞ μ xn −x t 1 Mathematical Problems in Engineering 3 ii A sequence {xn } in X is said to be Cauchy sequence in X if for all t > 0, limn → ∞ μ xn −xm t 1. iii The RN-space X, μ , T is said to be complete if every Cauchy sequence in X is convergent. Theorem 1.4. If X, μ , T is RNS and {xn } is a sequence such that xn → x, then limn → ∞ μ xn t μ x t. In this paper, we investigate the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the following additive functional equation of Euler-Lagrange type: ⎛ m f ⎝−rj xj j1 1≤i≤m, i / j ⎞ m ri xi ⎠ 2 ri fxi mf i1 m ri xi , 1.3 i1 0, and ri , rj / 0 for some 1 ≤ i < j ≤ m, in random normed where r1 , . . . , rn ∈ R, m i1 ri / spaces. Every solution of the functional equation 1.3 is said to be a generalized Euler-Lagrange type additive mapping. 2. RNS Approximation of Functional Equation 1.3 Remark 2.1.
