Abstract

In this paper, we obtain the general solution of a generalized quadratic and additive type functional equation \begin{eqnarray}\nonumber f(x+ay)+a f(x-y)=f(x-ay)+a f(x+y) \end{eqnarray} for any integer $a$ with $a \neq -1,0,1$ in the class of functions between real vector spaces and investigate the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability problem for the equation.

Keywords: Hyers-Ulam stability, quadratic function
