Abstract

In, [7], Th.M. Rassias proved that the norm defined over a real vector space V is induced by an inner product if and only if for a fixed integer $n{\geq}2$ $$n{\left\|{\frac{1}{n}}{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}}x_i{\left\|^2+{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}}\right\|}{x_i-{\frac{1}{n}}{\sum\limits_{j=1}^{n}x_j}}\right\|^2}={\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}}{\parallel}x_i{\parallel}^2$$ holds for all $x_1,{\cdots},x_{n}{\in}V$. Let V,W be real vector spaces. It is shown that if a mapping $f:V{\rightarrow}W$ satisfies $$(0.1){\hspace{10}}nf{\left({\frac{1}{n}}{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}}x_i \right)}+{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}}f{\left({x_i-{\frac{1}{n}}{\sum\limits_{j=1}^{n}}x_i}\right)}\\{\hspace{140}}={\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}}f(x_i)$$ for all $x_1$, ${\dots}$, $x_{n}{\in}V$ $$(0.2){\hspace{10}}2f\(\frac{x+y}{2}\)+f\(\frac{x-y}{2} \)+f\(\frac{y}{2}-x\)\\{\hspace{185}}=f(x)+f(y)$$ for all $x,y{\in}V$. Furthermore, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the functional equation (0.2) in real Banach spaces.
