Pečarić Abstract. Let be a give positive iteger, G a -divisible abelia group, X a ormed space ad f : G X. We prove a geeralized Hyers-Ulam stabitity of the followig fuctioal iequality f x+ f y+fz f + z + ϕx,y,z, x,y,z G, which has bee itroduced i [3], uder some coditios o ϕ : G G G [0,.. Itroductio The stability problem of equatios origiated from a questio of Ulam [9] cocerig the stability of group homomorphisms. We are give a group G ad a metric group G with metric ρ,. Give ε > 0, does there exist a δ > 0 such that if f : G G satisfies ρ f xy, f x f y < δ for all x,y G, the a homomorphism h : G G exists with ρ f x,hx < ε for all x G? I 94, D. H. Hyers [4] cosidered the case of approximately additive mappigs betwee Baach spaces ad proved the followig result. Suppose that E ad E are Baach spaces ad f : E E satisfies the followig coditio: there if a ε 0 such that f x + y f x f y ε for all x,y E. The the limit hx =lim f x exists for all x E ad there exists a uique additive mappig h : E E such that f x hx ε. Moreover, if f tx is cotiuous i t R for each x E, the the mappig h is R-liear.

46 H. KIM,J.LEE AND E. SON The method which was provided by Hyers, ad which produces the additive mappig h, was called a direct method. This method is the most importat ad most powerful tool for studyig the stability of various fuctioal equatios. I 978, Th. M. Rassias [5] provided a geeralizatio of Hyers Theorem which allows the Cauchy differece to be ubouded. Let E ad E be two Baach space ad f : E E be a mappig such that f tx is cotiuous i t R for each fixed x. Assume that there exists ε > 0ad0 p < such that f x + y f x f y ε x p + y p The there exists a uique liear mappig T : E E such that f x Tx p ε x p for all x E. I 990, Th. M. Rassias [6] durig the 7th Iteratioal Symposium o Fuctioal Equatios asked the questio whether such a theorem ca also be proved for p. This result is also true for p < 0. I 99, Z. Gajda [] followig the same approach as i [5], gave a affirmative solutio to this questio for p >. It was show by Z. Gajda [], as well as by Th. M. Rassias ad P. Semrl [6], that oe caot prove a Th. M. Rassias type theorem whe p =. The couterexamples of Z. Gajda [], as well as of Th. M. Rassias ad P. Semrl [6], have stimulated several mathematicias to ivet ew defiitios of approximately additive or approximately liear mappigs, cf. P. Gǎvruta [] ad S. Jug [8], who amog others studied the stability of fuctioal equatios. I 994, a geeralized result of Rassias theorem was obtaied by P. Gǎvruta i []. Let G be a -divisible abelia group N i.e., a a : G G is a surjectio ad X be a ormed space with orm. Now, for a mappig f : G X, we cosider the followig geeralized Cauchy-Jese equatio x + y f x+ f y+fz=f + z, x,y,z G, which has bee itroduced i the referece [3]. First of all, we recall some result i the paper [3]. PROPOSITION.. For a mappig f : G X, the followig statemets are equivalet. a f is additive. x + y b f x+ f y+fz=f c f x+ f y+fz x + y + z, x,y,z G. + z, x,y,z G.

STABILITY OF FUNCTIONAL INEQUALITY 463 The geeralized Hyers-Ulam stability of fuctioal equatio b ad fuctioal iequality c has bee preseted i the paper [3] for a special case =. I this paper, we are goig to improve the theorems of [3] without usig the oddess of approximate additive fuctios cocerig the fuctioal iequality c for the geeral case.. geeralized Hyers-Ulam stability of c From ow o, let G be a -divisible abelia group for some positive iteger ad f : G Y ad let Y be a Baach space. THEOREM.. Let ϕ : G 3 R + satisfy lim k k ϕ k x, k y, k z=0 for all x,y,z G ad ˇϕx,z := i+ ϕ i+ x,0, i z+ϕ i+ x,0, i z <, for all x,z G. Suppose that a mappig f : G Y satisfies the fuctioal iequality f x+ f y+fz + z + ϕx,y,z for all x,y,z G. The there exists a uique additive mappig h : G Y such that f x hx ˇϕx,x+ ϕx, x,0 + f 0 3 Proof. For all x G, lettig y = x, z = 0i ad dividig both sides by, we have f x+ f x ϕx, x,0 + f 0 4 Replacig x by x ad lettig y = 0adz = x i, we get f x+f x+ f 0 ϕx,0, x+ f 0 5 Replacig x by x i 5, oe has f x+fx+ f 0 ϕ x,0,x+ f 0 6 Putgx= f x f x. Associatig 5 with 6 yields gx gx ϕx,0, x+ϕ x,0,x + f 0 that is, gx gx ϕx,0, x+ϕ x,0,x + f 0 7

464 H. KIM,J.LEE AND E. SON It follows from 7that gl x l gm x m m k=l k gk x k+ gk+ x m g = k k=l k x gk+ x m [ k=l k+ ϕ k+ x,0, k x+ϕ k+ x,0, k x + ] k f 0 8 for all oegative itegers m ad l with m > l 0adx G. Sice the right had side of 8 teds to zero as l, we obtai the sequece { gk x } is Cauchy for all k x G. Because of the fact that Y is a Baach space it follows that the sequece { gk x } coverges i Y. Therefore we ca defie a fuctio h : G Y by k g k x hx= lim k k, x G. Moreover, lettig l = 0adm i 8 yields gx hx ˇϕx,x+ f 0 Hece we have f x f x hx ˇϕx,x+ f 0 9 It follows from 4ad9 that f x hx ˇϕx,x+ ϕx, x,0 + f 0 It follows from that hx+hy hx + y = hx+hy+h x y = lim k k gk x+g k y+g k x + y = lim k k f k x+ f k y+ f k x + y f k x f k y f k x + y lim k k f0 +ϕ k x, k y, k x+y+ f0 +ϕ k x, k y, k x+y + f k x + y + f k x + y + f k x + y + f k x + y lim k k ϕ k x, k y, k x + y + ϕ k x, k y, k x + y +ϕ k x + y,0, k x + y + ϕ k x + y,0, k x + y = 0

STABILITY OF FUNCTIONAL INEQUALITY 465 for all x,y G.Thisimpliesthat hx+hy= hx + y for all x,y G. Hece the mappig h is additive. Next, let h : G Y be aother additive mappig satisfyig f x h x ˇϕx,x+ ϕx, x,0 The we have hx h x = k hk x k h k x + f 0 k hk x f k x + f k x h k x k ˇϕ k x, k x+ ϕk x, k x,0 + k f 0 [ ] = i=k i+ ϕ i+ x,0, i x+ϕ i+ x,0, i x + ϕk x, k x,0 k + k f 0 for all k N ad all x G. Takig the limit as k, we coclude that hx=h x This completes the proof. Supposethat X is a ormed space i the followig corollaries. If we put ϕx, y, z := θ x p y q z t ad ϕx,y,z := θ x p + y q + z t i Theorem., respectively, the we get the followig Corollaries. ad.3. COROLLARY.. Let p+q+t <, p,q,t > 0 ad θ > 0. If a mappig f : X Y satisfies the followig fuctioaliequality f x+ f y+fz + z + θ x p y q z t for all x,y,z X, the f is additive. COROLLARY.3. Let 0 < p,q,t <, θ > 0. If a mappig f : X Y satisfies the followig fuctioal iequality f x+ f y+fz + z + θ x p + y q + z t for all x,y,z X, the there exists a uique additive mappig h : X Y such that [ p f x hx θ p + x p + x q + t x t] + f 0 for all x X.

For ay fixed positive iteger, suppose that a mappig f : G Y satisfies the iequality f x+ f y+fz f + z ε for all x,y,z G, where ε 0. The there exists a uique additive mappig h : G Y satisfyig the iequality f x hx ε + ε + f 0 We ca similarly prove aother stability theorem uder a somewhat differet coditio as follows: lim k REMARK.5. Let ϕ : G 3 R + satisfy ˇϕx,y,z := i ϕi+ x,0, i z+ϕ i x, i y,0 <, ϕ k x, k y, k z=0forallx,y,z G. If f : G Y is a mappig such that k f x+ f y+fz + z + ϕx,y,z for all x,y,z G, the there exists a uique additive mappig h : G Y such that f x hx ˇϕx,x,x+ + f 0 Proof. Replacig x by x ad lettig y = 0adz = x i, we get f x+f x+ f 0 ϕx,0, x+ f 0 0 Forallx G, lettig y = x, z = 0i, we have f x+ f x+f0 ϕx, x,0+ f 0 The we obtai the followig iequality f x fx ϕx,0, x+ϕx, x,0+ + f 0 The rest of the proof is similar to proof of Theorem.. We may obtai more simple ad sharp approximatio tha that of Theorem. for the stability result uder the oddess coditio.
