Abstract:

In 1940 (and 1968) S. M. Ulam proposed the well-known Ulam stability problem. In 1941 D. H. Hyers solved the Hyers-Ulam problem for linear mappings. In 1951 D. G. Bourgin has been the second author treating the Ulam problem for additive mappings. In 1978 according to P. M. Gruber this kind of stability problems is of particular interest in probability theory and in the case of functional equations of different types. In 1982-2004 we established the Hyers-Ulam stability for the Ulam problem for different mappings. In this article we solve the Hyers-Ulam problem for quadratic type functional equations in several variables. These stability results can be applied in stochastic analysis, financial and actuarial mathematics, as well as in psychology and sociology.
