1 Introduction
Let V be a commutative group, W be a linear space, and \(n\geq 2\) be an integer. Recall from [14] that a mapping \(f: V^{n}\longrightarrow W\) is called multi-additive if it is additive (satisfies Cauchy’s functional equation \(A(x+y)=A(x)+A(y)\)) in each variable (see also [16]). Some facts on such mappings can be found in [24] and many other sources. Moreover, f is said to be multi-quadratic if it is quadratic in each variable [15] (satisfies quadratic functional equation \(Q(x+y)+Q(x-y)=2Q(x)+2Q(y)\) in each variable). In [32], Zhao et al. proved that the mapping \(f: V^{n}\longrightarrow W\) is multi-quadratic if and only if the following relation holds:
where \(x_{j}=(x_{1j},x_{2j},\ldots ,x_{nj})\in V^{n}\) with \(j\in \{1,2\}\). Various versions of multi-quadratic mappings which were recently studied can be found in [9] and [30].
The first author and Shojaee introduced the multi-cubic mappings for the first time in [10]. In fact, a mapping \(f: V^{n}\longrightarrow W\) is called multi-cubic if it is cubic in each variable, i.e., satisfies the equation
in each variable. Indeed, the cubic functional equation (1.2) was introduced and studied by Jun and Kim in [22]. In [10], the authors unified the system of functional equations defining a multi-cubic mapping to a single equation, namely, a multi-cubic functional equation.
The motivation for many researchers to study the stability of functional equations is due to the query framed by Ulam [31] in 1940 as the stability of group homomorphisms: “when is it true that the solution of an equation differing slightly from a given one, must of necessity be close to the solution of the given equation?” The first partial answer, in the case of Cauchy’s equation in Banach spaces, to Ulam’s question was given by Hyers [21] stability involving a positive constant). Later, the result of Hyers was significantly generalized by Aoki [1], Th. M. Rassias [29] (stability incorporated with sum of powers of norms), Găvruţa [20] (stability controlled by a general control function) and [27] (stability including mixed product-sum of powers of norms). A functional equation Γ is said to be hyperstable if any function f satisfying the equation Γ approximately (in some senses) must be actually solutions to it. It seems that the first hyperstability result was published in [11] and concerned the ring homomorphisms. However, The term hyperstability has been used for the first time in [25]. In [14] and [15], Ciepliński studied the generalized Hyers–Ulam stability of multi-additive and multi-quadratic mappings in Banach spaces, respectively (see also [17] and [32]). In [10], it is shown that every multi-cubic functional equation is stable and moreover such functional equations under some conditions can be hyperstable (for the miscellaneous versions of multi-cubic mappings and their stabilities, we refer to [19] and [26]). Other forms of cubic functional equations and their stabilities can be found in [4–7, 18, 23, 28].
Motivated by [10] and [32], in this paper, we define multi-quadratic–cubic mappings and present a characterization of such mappings. In other words, we reduce the system of n equations defining the multi-quadratic–cubic mappings to obtain a single functional equation. We also prove the generalized Hyers–Ulam stability and hyperstability for multi-quadratic–cubic functional equations by using the fixed point method which was used for the first time by Brzdȩk in [12]; for more applications of this approach for the stability of multi-Cauchy–Jensen, multi-additive-quadratic, multi-cubic and multi-quartic mappings in Banach spaces see [2, 3, 10] and [8] respectively.
2 Characterization of multi-quadratic–cubic mappings
Throughout this paper, \(\mathbb{N}\), \(\mathbb{Z}\) and \(\mathbb{Q}\) are the set of all positive integers, integers and rational numbers, respectively, \(\mathbb{N}_{0}:=\mathbb{N}\cup \{0\}\), \(\mathbb{R}_{+}:=[0,\infty )\). For any \(l\in \mathbb{N}_{0}\), \(n\in \mathbb{N}\), \(t=(t_{1},\ldots ,t_{n})\in \{-1,1\}^{n}\) and \(x=(x_{1},\ldots ,x_{n})\in V^{n}\) we write \(lx:=(lx_{1},\ldots ,lx_{n})\) and \(tx:=(t_{1}x_{1},\ldots ,t_{n}x_{n})\), where lx stands, as usual, for the scalar product of l on x in the linear space V.
Let V and W be linear spaces, \(n\in \mathbb{N}\) and \(k\in \{0,\ldots ,n\}\). A mapping \(f:V^{n}\longrightarrow W\) is called k-quadratic and \(n-k\)-cubic (briefly, multi-quadratic–cubic) if f is quadratic in each of some k variables and is cubic in each of the other variables (see Eq. (1.2)). In this note, we suppose for simplicity that f is quadratic in each of the first k variables, but one can obtain analogous results without this assumption. Let us note that, for \(k=n\) (\(k=0\)), the above definition leads to the so-called multi-quadratic (multi-cubic) mappings.
In this section, we assume that V and W are vector spaces over \(\mathbb{Q}\). Moreover, we identify \(x=(x_{1},\ldots ,x_{n})\in V^{n}\) with \((x^{k},x^{n-k})\in V^{k}\times V^{n-k}\), where \(x^{k}:=(x_{1},\ldots ,x_{k})\) and \(x^{n-k}:=(x_{k+1},\ldots ,x_{n})\), and we adopt the convention that \((x^{n},x^{0} ):=x^{n}:= (x^{0},x^{n} )\). Put \(x_{i}^{k}=(x_{i1},\ldots ,x_{ik})\in V^{k}\) and \(x_{i}^{n-k}=(x_{i,k+1}\cdots ,x_{in})\in V^{n-k}\) where \(i\in \{1,2\}\). We shall denote \(x_{i}^{n}\) by \(x_{i}\) if there is no risk of ambiguity. In addition, we put \(\mathcal{M}= \{ \mathfrak{N}_{n}=(N_{k+1}, \ldots ,N_{n})| N_{j} \in \{x_{1j}\pm x_{2j},x_{1j}\} \} \), where \(j\in \{k+1,\ldots ,n\}\). Consider
From now on, we use the following notations:
In the next result, we reduce the system of n equations defining the k-quadratic and \(n-k\)-cubic mapping to obtain a single functional equation.
Proposition 2.1
Let \(n\in \mathbb{N}\) and \(k\in \{0,\ldots ,n\}\). If the mapping \(f: V^{n}\longrightarrow W\) is k-quadratic and \(n-k\)-cubic mapping, then f satisfies the equation
for all \(x_{i}^{k}=(x_{i1},\ldots ,x_{ik})\in V^{k}\) and \(x_{i}^{n-k}=(x_{i,k+1},\ldots ,x_{in})\in V^{n-k}\) where \(i\in \{1,2\}\).
Proof
Since for \(k\in\{0,n\}\) our assertion follows from [10, Proposition 2.2] and [32, Theorem 3], we can assume that \(k\in \{1,\ldots ,n-1\}\). For any \(x^{n-k}\in V^{n-k}\), define the mapping \(g_{x^{n-k}}:V^{k}\longrightarrow W\) by \(g_{x^{n-k}} (x^{k} ):=f (x^{k},x^{n-k} )\) for \(x^{k}\in V^{k}\). By assumption, \(g_{x^{n-k}}\) is k-quadratic, and hence Theorem 3 from [32] implies that
It now follows from the above equality that
for all \(x_{1}^{k},x_{2}^{k}\in V^{k}\) and \(x^{n-k}\in V^{n-k}\). Similar to the above, for any \(x^{k}\in V^{k}\), consider the mapping \(h_{x^{k}}:V^{n-k}\longrightarrow W\) defined through \(h_{x^{k}}(x^{n-k}):=f(x^{k},x^{n-k})\), \(x^{n-k}\in V^{n-k}\) which is \(n-k\)-cubic and so we conclude from Proposition 2.2 of [10] that
for all \(x_{1}^{n-k},x_{2}^{n-k}\in V^{n-k}\). By the definition of \(h_{x^{k}}\), Eq. (2.3) is equivalent to
for all \(x_{1}^{n-k},x_{2}^{n-k}\in V^{n-k}\) and \(x^{k}\in V^{k}\). Plugging equality (2.2) into (2.4), we get
for all \(x_{i}^{k}=(x_{i1},\ldots ,x_{ik})\in V^{k}\) and \(x_{i}^{n-k}=(x_{ik+1},\ldots ,x_{in})\in V^{n-k}\), which proves that f satisfies Eq. (2.1). □
By a mathematical computation, one can check that the mapping \(f:\mathbb{R}^{n}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}\) defined through \(f(z_{1},\ldots ,z_{n})=\prod_{j=1}^{k}\prod_{i=k+1}^{n}z_{j}^{2}z_{i}^{3}\) satisfies (2.1) and so this equation is said to be multi-quadratic–cubic functional equation.
In the sequel, is the binomial coefficient defined for all \(n, k\in \mathbb{N}_{0}\) with \(n\geq k\) by \(n!/(k!(n-k)!)\).
Let \(r\in \mathbb{N}\). We say the mapping \(f: V^{n}\longrightarrow W\) satisfies the r-power condition in the jth variable if
Remark 2.2
It is easily verified that, if f is a multi-cubic mapping, then it satisfies 3-power condition in all variables. But the converse is not true. Here, by means of an example we show that 3-power condition in all variables for a mapping f does not imply that it is multi-cubic. Let \((\mathcal{A}, \|\cdot \|)\) be a Banach algebra. Fix the vector \(a_{0}\) in \(\mathcal{A}\) (not necessarily unit). Define the mapping \(h:\mathcal{A}^{n}\longrightarrow \mathcal{A}\) by \(h(a_{1},\ldots ,a_{n})=\prod_{j=1}^{n}\|a_{j}\|^{3}a_{0}\) for \((a_{1},\ldots ,a_{n})\in \mathcal{A}^{n}\). It is easy to check that the mapping h satisfies 3-power condition in all variables but h is not multi-cubic even for \(n=1\), that is, h does not satisfy Eq. (1.2).
Let \(0\leq p\leq k\) and \(0\leq q\leq n-k\). Put
where \(1\leq i_{1}<\cdots < i_{p}\leq k\) and \(1\leq j_{1}<\cdots < j_{q}\leq n-k\).
We wish to show that, if the mapping \(f: V^{n}\longrightarrow W\) satisfies Eq. (2.1), then it is multi-quadratic–cubic. In order to do this, we present the next lemma.
Lemma 2.3
If the mapping \(f: V^{n}\longrightarrow W\) satisfies Eq. (2.1) and the 3-power condition in the last \(n-k\) variables, then \(f(x)=0\) for any \(x\in V^{n}\) with at least one component which is equal to zero.
Proof
We argue by induction on \(p+q\) that, for each \({}_{(p,q)}x\in \mathcal{K}_{(p,q)}\), \(f (_{(p,q)}x )=0\) for \(0\leq p\leq k\) and \(0\leq q\leq n-k\). For \(p+q=0\), by putting \((x_{1}^{k},x_{1}^{n-k} )= (x_{2}^{k},x_{2}^{n-k} )=(0,\ldots ,0)\) in (2.1), we have
It follows from (2.5) that \(f(0,\ldots ,0)=0\). Assume that, for each \({}_{(p,q)}x\in \mathcal{K}_{(p,q)}\), \(f(_{(p,q)}x)=0\) with \(p+q=s-1\). We show that, if \({}_{(p,q)}x\in \mathcal{K}_{(p,q)}\), then \(f(_{(p,q)}x)=0\) for \(p+q=s\). By a suitable replacement in (2.1) and using the assumption, we get
Hence, \(f(_{(p,q)}x)=0\). This shows that \(f(x)=0\) for any \(x\in V^{n}\) with at least one component which is equal to zero. □
In the following result, we show that, if a mapping f satisfies the functional equation (2.1), then it can be multi-quadratic–cubic under some mild conditions.
Proposition 2.4
If the mapping \(f: V^{n}\longrightarrow W\) satisfies Eq. (2.1) and the 3-power condition in the last \(n-k\) variables, then it is multi-quadratic–cubic.
Proof
Putting \(x_{2}^{n-k}=(0,\ldots ,0)\) in the left side of (2.1) and applying the hypothesis, we obtain
for all \(x_{1}^{k},x_{2}^{k}\in V^{k}\) and \(x_{1}^{n-k}\in V^{n-k}\). On the other hand, the right side of (2.1) will be
for all \(x_{1}^{k},x_{2}^{k}\in V^{k}\) and \(x_{1}^{n-k}\in V^{n-k}\). Comparing Eqs. (2.6) and (2.7), we find
for all \(x_{1}^{k},x_{2}^{k}\in V^{k}\) and \(x_{1}^{n-k}\in V^{n-k}\). In the light of [32, Theorem 3], we see that f is quadratic in each of the k first variables. Furthermore, by putting \(x_{2}^{k}=(0,\ldots ,0)\) in (2.1) and using Lemma 2.3, we have
for all \(x_{1}^{k}\in V^{k}\) and \(x_{1}^{n-k},x_{2}^{n-k}\in V^{n-k}\), and thus [10, Proposition 2.3] now completes the proof. □
3 Stability of (2.1)
In this section, we prove the generalized Hyers–Ulam stability of Eq. (2.1) by a fixed point result (Theorem 3.1) in Banach spaces. Throughout, for two sets X and Y, the set of all mappings from X to Y is denoted by \(Y^{X}\). Here, we introduce the oncoming three hypotheses:
-
(A1)
Y is a Banach space, \(\mathcal{S}\) is a nonempty set, \(j\in \mathbb{N}\), \(g_{1},\ldots ,g_{j}:\mathcal{S}\longrightarrow \mathcal{S}\) and \(L_{1},\ldots ,L_{j}:\mathcal{S}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}_{+}\),
-
(A2)
\(\mathcal{T}:Y^{\mathcal{S}}\longrightarrow Y^{\mathcal{S}}\) is an operator satisfying the inequality
$$ \bigl\Vert \mathcal{T}\lambda (x)-\mathcal{T}\mu (x) \bigr\Vert \leq \sum _{i=1}^{j}L_{i}(x) \bigl\Vert \lambda \bigl(g_{i}(x)\bigr)-\mu \bigl(g_{i}(x) \bigr) \bigr\Vert ,\quad \lambda , \mu \in Y^{\mathcal{S}}, x\in \mathcal{S}, $$ -
(A3)
\(\Lambda :\mathbb{R}_{+}^{\mathcal{S}}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}_{+}^{\mathcal{S}}\) is an operator defined through
$$ \Lambda \delta (x):=\sum_{i=1}^{j}L_{i}(x) \delta \bigl(g_{i}(x)\bigr)\quad \delta \in \mathbb{R}_{+}^{\mathcal{S}}, x\in \mathcal{S}. $$
To achieve our aim in this section, we present the next theorem which is a fundamental result in fixed point theory [13, Theorem 1].
Theorem 3.1
Let hypotheses (A1)–(A3) hold and the function \(\theta :\mathcal{S}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}_{+}\) and the mapping \(\phi :\mathcal{S}\longrightarrow Y\) fulfill the following two conditions:
Then there exists a unique fixed point ψ of \(\mathcal{T}\) such that
Moreover, \(\psi (x)=\lim_{l\rightarrow \infty }\mathcal{T}^{l}\phi (x)\) for all \(x\in \mathcal{S}\).
Here and subsequently, for the mapping \(f:V^{n} \longrightarrow W\), we consider the difference operator \(\mathcal{D}_{Q}^{C}f:V^{n}\times V^{n} \longrightarrow W\) by
for all \(x_{i}^{k}=(x_{i1},\ldots ,x_{ik})\in V^{k}\) and \(x_{i}^{n-k}=(x_{i,k+1},\ldots ,x_{in})\in V^{n-k}\), where \(i\in \{1,2\}\).
We recall the upcoming lemma from [3] will be useful in the proof of our stability result. For simplicity, given an \(m\in \mathbb{N}\), we write \(S:=\{0,1\}^{m}\), and \(S_{i}\) stands for the set of all elements of S having exactly i zeros, i.e.,
Lemma 3.2
Let \(m\in \mathbb{N}\), \(l\in \mathbb{N}_{0}\) and \(\psi :S\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}\). Then
From now on, S stands for \(\{0,1\}^{k}\) and \(S_{i}\subseteq S\) for \(i\in \{0,\ldots ,k\}\). We have the following stability result for the functional equation (2.1).
Theorem 3.3
Let V be a linear space and W be a Banach space. Suppose that \(\phi :V^{n}\times V^{n} \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}_{+}\) is a mapping satisfying the equality
for all \(x_{1},x_{2}\in V^{n}\) and
for all \(x=(x^{k},x^{n-k})\in V^{n}\). Assume also \(f:V^{n} \longrightarrow W\) is a mapping satisfying the inequality
for all \(x_{1},x_{2}\in V^{n}\). Then there exists a solution \(\mathcal{F}:V^{n} \longrightarrow W\) of (2.1) such that
for all \(x= (x^{k},x^{n-k} )\in V^{n}\). If \(\mathcal{F}\) satisfies the 3-power condition in the last \(n-k\) variables, then it is a unique multi-quadratic–cubic mapping.
Proof
Putting \(x_{1}^{k}=x_{2}^{k}=x^{k}\) and \(x_{1}^{n-k}=x^{n-k}\), \(x_{2}^{n-k}=0\) in (3.3), we have
where \(x=(x^{k},x^{n-k})\in V^{n}\). A computation shows that (3.5) can be rewritten as follows:
The above inequality implies that
for all \(x= (x^{k},x^{n-k} )\in V^{n}\). Set \(\xi (x):=\frac{1}{2^{4n-2k}}\phi (x, (x^{k},0 ) )\) and \(\mathcal{T}\xi (x):=\frac{1}{2^{3n-k}}\sum_{s\in S}\xi (2sx^{k}, 2x^{n-k} )\) where \(\xi \in W^{V^{n}}\) and \(x\in V^{n}\). Then Eq. (3.6) can be modified as
Define \(\Lambda \eta (x):=\frac{1}{2^{3n-k}}\sum_{s\in S}\eta (2sx^{k},2x^{n-k} )\) for all \(\eta \in \mathbb{R}_{+}^{V^{n}}\), \(x= (x^{k},x^{n-k} )\in V^{n}\). We now see that Λ has the form described in (A3). Furthermore, for each \(\lambda ,\mu \in W^{V^{n}}\) and \(x\in V^{n}\), we get
The above relation shows that the hypothesis (A2) holds. By induction on l, one can check for any \(l\in \mathbb{N}_{0}\) and \(x\in V^{n}\) that
Fix an \(x\in V^{n}\). Here, we adopt the convention that \(0^{0}=1\). Hence, (3.8) is trivially true for \(l=0\). Next, assume that (3.8) holds for a \(l\in \mathbb{N}_{0}\). Then, by using Lemma 3.2 for \(m=n\) and \(\psi (s):=\xi (2^{l+1}(sx^{k},x^{n-k}))\) (\(s\in S\)), we get
Therefore, (3.8) holds for any \(l\in \mathbb{N}_{0}\) and \(x\in V^{n}\). Now, (3.2) and (3.8) necessitate that all assumptions of Theorem 3.1 are satisfied. Hence, there exists a mapping \(\mathcal{F}:V^{n} \longrightarrow W\) such that
and also (3.4) holds. We shall to show that
for all \(x_{1}= (x_{1}^{k},x_{1}^{n-k} )\), \(x_{2}= (x_{2}^{k},x_{2}^{n-k} )\in V^{n}\) and \(l\in \mathbb{N}_{0}\). We argue by induction on l. It is easy to see that inequality (3.9) is valid for \(l=0\) by (3.3). Assume that (3.9) is true for an \(l\in \mathbb{N}_{0}\). For each \(x_{1}= (x_{1}^{k},x_{1}^{n-k} )\), \(x_{2}= (x_{2}^{k},x_{2}^{n-k} )\in V^{n}\), we have
for all \(x_{1},x_{2}\in V^{n}\). We note that the last equality follows from Lemma 3.2 with \(m:=k\) and \(\psi (s):=\phi (2^{l+1} (sx_{1}^{k},x_{1}^{n-k} ),2^{l+1} (sx_{2}^{k},x_{2}^{n-k} ) )\) (\(s\in S\)). Letting \(l\rightarrow \infty \) in (3.9) and applying (3.1), we arrive at \(\mathcal{D}_{Q}^{C}\mathcal{F}(x_{1},x_{2})=0\) for all \(x_{1},x_{2}\in V^{n}\). This means that the mapping \(\mathcal{F}\) satisfies (2.1). Finally, assume that \(\mathfrak{F}:V^{n} \longrightarrow W\) is another mapping satisfying Eq. (2.1) and inequality (3.4), and fix \(x\in V^{n}\), \(j\in \mathbb{N}\). Then, by Lemma 2.3 and (3.2), we have
Consequently, letting \(j\rightarrow \infty \) and using the fact that the series (3.2) is convergent for all \(x\in V^{n}\), we obtain \(\mathcal{F}(x)=\mathfrak{F}(x)\) for all \(x\in V^{n}\), and thus the proof is now finished. □
In the next corollary, we show that the functional equation (2.1) is stable when the norm of \(\mathcal{D}_{Q}^{C}f(x_{1},x_{2})\) is controlled by a small positive real number δ, for all \(x_{1},x_{2}\in V^{n}\).
Corollary 3.4
Let \(\delta >0\). Let also V be a vector space and W be a Banach space. If \(f:V^{n} \longrightarrow W\) is a mapping satisfying the inequality
for all \(x_{1},x_{2}\in V^{n}\), then there exists a solution \(\mathcal{F}:V^{n} \longrightarrow W\) of (2.1) such that
for all \(x\in V^{n}\). Moreover, if \(\mathcal{F}\) satisfies the 3-power condition in the last \(n-k\) variables, then it is a unique multi-quadratic–cubic mapping.
Proof
Setting the constant function \(\phi (x_{1},x_{2})=\delta \) for all \(x_{1},x_{2}\in V^{n}\), and applying Theorem 3.3, we have
□
Under some conditions the functional equation (2.1) can be hyperstable as follows.
Corollary 3.5
Suppose that \(\delta _{ij}>0\) for \(i\in \{1,2\}\) and \(j\in \{1,\ldots ,n\}\) fulfill \(\sum_{i=1}^{2}\sum_{j=1}^{n}\delta _{ij}<3n-k\). Let V be a normed space and W be a Banach space. If \(f:V^{n} \longrightarrow W\) is a mapping satisfying the inequality
for all \(x_{1},x_{2}\in V^{n}\), then f satisfies Eq. (2.1). In particular, if f satisfies the 3-power condition in the last \(n-k\) variables, then it is a multi-quadratic–cubic mapping.
Proof
The result follows immediately from Proposition 2.4 and Theorem 3.3. □
Putting \(k=n\) in Theorem 3.3, we obtain [3, Corollary 2] on the stability of multi-quadratic mappings. Furthermore, by considering \(k=0\) in Theorem 3.3, we obtain the below result on the stability of multi-cubic mappings.
Corollary 3.6
Let \(\delta >0\). Let also V be a vector space and W be a Banach space. Suppose that \(f:V^{n} \longrightarrow W\) is a mapping satisfying the inequality
for all \(x_{1},x_{2}\in V^{n}\). Then there exists a solution \(\mathcal{C}:V^{n} \longrightarrow W\) of (2.1) when \(k=0\) such that
for all \(x\in V^{n}\). In addition, if \(\mathcal{C}\) satisfies the 3-power condition in each variable, then it is a unique multi-cubic mapping.
