Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Issue is mainly devoted to investigations connected with the notion of stability, motivated by the well-known problem of S. Ulam, on the approximate homeomorphisms of metric groups, and related issues. Authors are invited to delivery their contributions on: Ulam’s type stability of functional equations and difference equations, differential equations, integral equations and linear operators, stability of set-valued and iterative functional equations, hyperstability and superstability of functional equations, various methods for proving Ulam’s type stability results, generalized Hyers–Ulam stability, stability on restricted domains and in various (metric, Banach, non-Archimedean, fuzzy, quasi-Banach, etc.) spaces, relations between Ulam’s type stability and fixed point results, its applications and connections to other areas of mathematics (e.g. functional analysis, approximation theory, differential equations, nonlinear analysis).

Symmetry plays an essential role for generating aesthetic forms. The curve is the basic element used by designers to obtain aesthetic forms. A curve with a linear logarithmic curvature graph gradient is called aesthetic curve. The aesthetic value of a curve increases when its gradient is close to a straight line. We introduce the notions of approximate aesthetic curves and approximate neutral curves and obtain estimations between the curvature of an approximate aesthetic/neutral curve and an aesthetic curve.

Working in the setting of Banach spaces, we give a simpler proof of a result concerning the Ulam stability of the composition of operators. Several applications are provided. Then, we give an example of a discrete semigroup with Ulam unstable members and an example of Ulam stable operators on a Banach space, such that their sum is not Ulam stable. Another example is concerned with a C 0 -semigroup ( T t ) t 0 of operators for which each T t is Ulam stable. We present an open problem concerning the Ulam stability of the members of the Bernstein C 0 -semigroup. Two other possible problems are mentioned at the end of the paper. Full article

A symmetric functional equation is one whose form is the same regardless of the order of the arguments. A remarkable example is the Cauchy functional equation: f ( x + y ) = f ( x ) + f ( y ) . Interesting results in the study of the rigidity of quasi-isometries for symmetric spaces were obtained by B. Kleiner and B. Leeb, using the Hyers-Ulam stability of a Cauchy equation. In this paper, some results on the Ulam’s type stability of the Cauchy functional equation are provided by extending the traditional norm estimations to ther measurements called generalized norm of convex type (v-norm) and generalized norm of subadditive type (s-norm).

This paper deals with Ulam’s type stability for a class of Hill’s equations. In the two assertions of the main theorem, we obtain Ulam stability constants that are symmetrical to each other. By combining the obtained results, a necessary and sufficient condition for Ulam stability of a Hill’s equation is established. The results are generalized to nonhomogeneous Hill’s equations, and then application examples are presented. In particular, it is shown that if the approximate solution is unbounded, then there is an unbounded exact solution. Full article

Abstract
We study the relation between almost-symmetries and the geometry of Banach spaces. We show that any almost-linear extension of a transformation that preserves transition probabilities up to an additive error admits an approximation by a linear map, and the quality of the approximation [...] Read more.
We study the relation between almost-symmetries and the geometry of Banach spaces. We show that any almost-linear extension of a transformation that preserves transition probabilities up to an additive error admits an approximation by a linear map, and the quality of the approximation depends on the type and cotype constants of the involved spaces.
