Hyers considered the case of approximately additive mappings f : E → E , where E and E are Banach spaces and f satisfies Hyers inequality f x y −f x −f y ≤ε 1.1 for all x, y ∈ E In 1950, Aoki provided a generalization of the Hyers’ theorem for additive mappings and in 1978, Rassias generalized the Hyers’ theorem for linear mappings by allowing the Cauchy difference to be unbounded see also The result of Rassias’ theorem has been generalized by Forti 6, and Gavruta who permitted the Cauchy difference to be bounded by a general control function During the last three decades a number of papers Advances in Difference Equations have been published on the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability to a number of functional equations and mappings see 9–23 We also refer the readers to the books 24–28 Throughout this paper, let A be a unital C∗ -algebra with unitary group U A , unit e, and norm | · | Assume that X is a left A-module and Y is a left Banach A-module An additive mapping T : X → Y is called A-linear if T ax aT x for all a ∈ A and all x ∈ X In this paper, we investigate the stability problem for the following functional inequality: αf x y 2α βf y z 2β γf z x ≤ f x 2γ y 1.2 z on restricted domains of Banach modules over a C∗ -algebra, where α, β, γ are nonzero positive real numbers As an application we study the asymptotic behavior of a generalized additive mapping Solutions of the Functional Inequality 1.2 Theorem 2.1 Let X and M be left A-modules and let α, β, γ be nonzero real numbers If a mapping f : X → M with f 0 satisfies the functional inequality αf ax ay 2α βf ay az 2β γaf z x ≤ f ax 2γ ay az 2.1 for all x, y, z ∈ X and all a ∈ U A , then f is A-linear Proof Letting z −x − y in 2.1 , we get αf ax ay 2α βf − for all x, y ∈ X and all a ∈ U A Letting x αf ay 2α γaf − y 2γ 0, ax 2β γaf − resp., y resp., αf y 2γ 2.2 in 2.2 , we get ax 2α βf − ax 2β 2.3 for all x, y ∈ X and all a ∈ U A Hence f ay −γ/α af −α/γ y and it follows from 2.2 and 2.3 that and f ax ay /2α − f ax/2α − f ay/2α for all x, y ∈ X and all rf x for all x ∈ X a ∈ U A Therefore f x y f x f y for all x, y ∈ X Hence f rx and all rational numbers r Now let a ∈ A a / and let m be an integer number with m > 4|a| Then by Theorem of 29 , there exist elements u1 , u2 , u3 ∈ U A such that 3/m a u1 u2 u3 Since f is Advances in Difference Equations −γ/α rbf −α/γ x for all x ∈ X, all rational numbers r and all additive and f rbx b ∈ U A , we have m f ax m m f u1 x mγ − u1 α f ax α u3 f − x γ u2 u2 x u3 x m f u1 x mγ α − af − x αm γ f u2 x f u3 x γ α − af − x α γ 2.4 for all x ∈ X Replacing −γ/α x instead of x in the above equation, we have γ f − ax α γ − af x α 2.5 for all x ∈ X Since a is an arbitrary nonzero element in A in the previous paragraph, one can replace −α/γ a instead of a in 2.5 Thus we have f ax af x for all x ∈ X and all a ∈ A a / So f : X → Y is A-linear The following theorem is another version of Theorem 2.1 on a restricted domain when α, β, γ > Theorem 2.2 Let X and M be left A-modules and let d, α, β, γ be nonzero positive real numbers Assume that a mapping f : X → M satisfies f 0 and the functional inequality 2.1 for all x, y, z ∈ X with x y z ≥ d and all a ∈ U A Then f is A-linear Proof Letting z −x − y with x ax αf for all a ∈ U A Let δ βx y ≥ d in 2.1 , we get ay 2α βf − ax 2β γaf − max{|β|−1 d, |γ|−1 d} and let x γy ≥ β , γ x y y 2γ 2.6 y ≥ δ Then ≥ β , γ δ ≥ d 2.7 Therefore replacing x and y by 2βx and 2γy in 2.6 , respectively, we get αf for all x, y ∈ X with x βax γay α βf −ax y ≥ δ and all a ∈ U A γaf −y 2.8 Advances in Difference Equations Similar to the proof of Theorem of 30 see also 31 , we prove that f satisfies 2.8 for all x, y ∈ X and all a ∈ U A Suppose x y < δ If x y 0, let z ∈ X with z δ, otherwise ⎧ ⎪ δ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ z: x , x x if x ≥ y ; 2.9 ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ δ ⎪ ⎩ y , y y if y ≥ x Since α, β, γ > 0, it is easy to verify that β−1 γ z β−1 γy βγ −1 x − z ≥ δ, x β−1 γ z β−1 γ z 2 2βγ −1 z ≥ δ, y ≥ δ, βγ −1 x − β−1 γ z β−1 γy 2.10 2βγ −1 z

Advances in Difference Equations Generalized Hyers-Ulam Stability of 1.2 on a Restricted Domain In this section, we investigate the stability problem for A-linear mappings associated to the

definition of T and 3.2 that T 0 and Da T x, y, z ≤ T ax ay az for all x, y, z ∈ X with x y z ≥ d and all a ∈ U A Hence T is A-linear by Theorem 2.2 We apply the result of Theorem 3.1 to study the asymptotic behavior of a generalized additive mapping An asymptotic property of additive mappings has been proved by Skof 32 see also 30, 33 Corollary 3.2 Let α, β, γ be nonzero positive real numbers Assume that a mapping f : X → Y with f 0 satisfies Da f x, y, z − f ax ay −→ az as x y z −→ ∞ 3.13 for all a ∈ U A , then f is A-linear Proof It follows from 3.13 that there exists a sequence {δn }, monotonically decreasing to zero, such that Da f x, y, z − f ax for all x, y, z ∈ X with x y ay az ≤ δn 3.14 z ≥ n and all a ∈ U A Therefore Da f x, y, z ≤ f ax ay δn az 3.15 for all x, y, z ∈ X with x y z ≥ n and all a ∈ U A Applying 3.15 and Theorem 3.1, we obtain a sequence {Tn : X → Y} of unique A-linear mappings satisfying f x − Tn x ≤ 15α−1 δn 3.16 for all x ∈ X Since the sequence {δn } is monotonically decreasing, we conclude f x − Tm x ≤ 15α−1 δm ≤ 15α−1 δn for all x ∈ X and all m ≥ n The uniqueness of Tn implies Tm n → ∞ in 3.16 , we obtain that f is A-linear 3.17 Tn for all m ≥ n Hence letting The following theorem is another version of Theorem 3.1 for the case p > 8 Advances in Difference Equations Theorem 3.3 Let p > 1, d > 0, ε ≥ be given and let α, β, γ be nonzero real

may put y 3.24 to obtain f 2x − 2f x ≤ 2p × 2p |α|p−1 ε x p 3.24 x in 3.25 Advances in Difference Equations We can replace x by x/2n in 3.25 for all nonnegative integers n Then using a similar argument given in , we have 2n f 2−n−1 x − 2n f 2−n x ≤ 2p × 2p n |α|p−1 ε x p 3.26 Hence we have the following inequality: 2n f 2−n−1 x − 2m f 2−m x ≤ n 2k f 2−k−1 x − 2k f 2−k x k m ≤ p−1 |α| p n ε k m 2p 3.27 k x p for all x ∈ X with x ≤ d/8|α| and all integers n ≥ m ≥ Since Y is complete, 3.27 shows that the limit T x limn → ∞ 2n f 2−n x exists for all x ∈ X with x ≤ d/8|α| Letting m and n → ∞ in 3.27 , we obtain that T satisfies inequality 3.19 for all x ∈ X with x ≤ d/8|α| It follows from the definition of T and 3.24 that T x for all x, y ∈ X with x , y , x y T x T y 3.28 y ≤ d/8|α| Hence T x T x 3.29 for all x ∈ X with x ≤ d/8|α| We extend the additivity of T to the whole space X by using an extension method of Skof 34 Let δ : d/8|α| and x ∈ X be given with x > δ Let k k x be the smallest integer such that 2k−1 δ < x ≤ 2k δ We define the mapping φ : X → Y by ⎧ ⎪T x , ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ φ x : if x ≤ δ, ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ k T 2−k x , 3.30 if x > δ Let x ∈ X be given with x > δ and let k k x be the smallest integer such that 2k−1 δ < x ≤ 2k δ Then k − is the smallest integer satisfying 2k−2 δ < x/2 ≤ 2k−1 δ If k 1, we have φ x/2 T x/2 and φ x 2T x/2 Therefore φ x/2 1/2 φ x For the case k > 1, it follows from the definition of φ that φ x 2k−1 T 2− k−1 x k · T 2−k x φ x 3.31 10 Advances in Difference Equations From the definition of φ and 3.29 , we get that φ x/2 1/2 φ x holds true for all x ∈

positive integer such that 1/2 φ x for all x ∈ X and T satisfies 3.28 , we have x , y , x y ≤ 2n δ Since φ x/2 φ x y 2n φ x y 2n 2n T x y x 2n 2n T 2n x φ n n T y 2n 3.33 y φ n φ x φ y Hence φ is additive Since φ x limn → ∞ 2n f 2−n x for all x ∈ X, we have from 3.22 that αφ ay/α γaφ y/γ for all y ∈ X and all a ∈ U A Letting a e, we get αφ y/α γφ y/γ Therefore φ ay aφ y for all y ∈ X and all a ∈ U A This proves that φ is A-linear Also, φ satisfies inequality 3.19 for all x ∈ X with x ≤ d/8|α|, by the definition of φ For the case p counterexample we use the Gajda’s example 35 to give the following Example 3.4 Let φ : C → C be defined by φ x : ⎧ ⎨x, for |x| < 1, ⎩1, for |x| ≥ 3.34 Consider the function f : C → C by the formula ∞ f x : n φ 2n x 2n 3.35 It is clear that f is continuous, bounded by on C and f x y −f x −f y ≤ |x| y 3.36 for all x, y ∈ C see 35 It follows from 3.36 that the following inequality: f x y z −f x −f y −f z ≤ 12 |x| y |z| 3.37 holds for all x, y, z ∈ C First we show that f λx − λf x ≤2 |λ| |x| 3.38 Advances in Difference Equations 11 for all x, λ ∈ C If f satisfies 3.38 for all |λ| ≥ 1, then f satisfies 3.38 for all λ ∈ C To see this, Then |f λ−1 x −λ−1 f x | ≤ let < |λ| < the result is obvious when λ all x ∈ C Replacing x by λx, we get that |f λx − λf x | ≤ 2|λ|2 |λ|−1 |x| for all x ∈ C Hence we may assume that |λ| ≥ If λx or |λx| ≥ 1, then ≤2 f λx − λf x |λ| ≤ 2|λ| |λ|−1 |x| for 21 |λ| |x| |λ| |x| ≤ |λ| |x| 3.39 Now suppose that < |λx| < Then there exists an integer k ≥ such that 1 ≤ |λx| < k 2k 3.40 2k |x|, 2k |λx| ∈ −1, 3.41 2m |x|, 2m |λx| ∈

linear functional such that f x −T x ≤ M|x| Let T : C → C be 3.47 for all x ∈ C, where M is a positive constant Then there exists a constant c ∈ C such that T x cx for all rational numbers x So we
