Abstract

Using fixed point method and direct method, we prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of the following additive-quadratic functional equation 𝑟 2 𝑓 ( ( 𝑥 + 𝑦 + 𝑧 ) / 𝑟 ) + 𝑟 2 𝑓 ( ( 𝑥 𝑦 + 𝑧 ) / 𝑟 ) + 𝑟 2 𝑓 ( ( 𝑥 + 𝑦 𝑧 ) / 𝑟 ) + 𝑟 2 𝑓 ( ( 𝑥 + 𝑦 + 𝑧 ) / 𝑟 ) = 4 𝑓 ( 𝑥 ) + 4 𝑓 ( 𝑦 ) + 4 𝑓 ( 𝑧 ) , where 𝑟 is a positive real number, in non-Archimedean normed spaces.
