Abstract: | AbstractLet G be an Abelian group with a metric d and E ba a normed space. For any f : G → E we define the generalized quadratic di?erence of the function f by the formulaQk f (x, y) := f (x + ky) + f (x ? ky) ? f (x + y) ? f (x ? y) ? 2(k2 ? 1)f (y)for all x, y ∈ G and for any integer k with k ≠ 1, ?1. In this paper, we achieve the general solution of equation Qk f (x, y) = 0, after it, we show that if Qk f is Lipschitz, then there exists a quadratic function K : G → E such that f ? K is Lipschitz with the same constant. Moreover, some results concerning the stability of the generalized quadratic functional equation in the Lipschitz norms are presented. In the particular case, if k = 0 we obtain the main result that is in [7]. |
