Ulam Stability of a Quartic Functional Equation
Abstract
The oldest quartic functional equation was introduced by J. M. Rassias in (1999), and then was employed by other authors. The functional equation 𝑓(2𝑥+𝑦)+𝑓(2𝑥−𝑦)=4𝑓(𝑥+𝑦)+4𝑓(𝑥−𝑦)+24𝑓(𝑥)−6𝑓(𝑦) is called a quartic functional equation, all of its solution is said to be a quartic function. In the current paper, the Hyers-Ulam stability and the superstability for quartic functional equations are established by using the fixed-point alternative theorem.
