Abstract  We deal with an alienation problem for an Euler–Lagrange type functional equation $$\begin{aligned} f(\alpha x + \beta y) + f(\alpha x - \beta y) = 2\alpha ^2f(x) + 2\beta ^2f(y) \end{aligned}$$ f ( α x + β y ) + f ( α x - β y ) = 2 α 2 f ( x ) + 2 β 2 f ( y ) assumed for fixed nonzero real numbers $$\alpha ,\beta ,\, 1 \ne \alpha ^2 \ne \beta ^2$$ α , β , 1 ≠ α 2 ≠ β 2 , and the classic quadratic functional equation $$\begin{aligned} g(x+y) + g(x-y) = 2g(x) + 2g(y). \end{aligned}$$ g ( x + y ) + g ( x - y ) = 2 g ( x ) + 2 g ( y ) . We were inspired by papers of Kim et al. (Abstract and applied analysis, vol. 2013, Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013) and Gordji and Khodaei (Abstract and applied analysis, vol. 2009, Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009), where the special case $$g = \gamma f$$ g = γ f was examined.

AbstractThe quadratic functional equation f(f(x)) *–Tf(x) + Dx = 0 is equivalent to the requirement that the graph be invariant under a certain linear map The induced projective map is used to show that the equation admits a rich supply of continuous solutions only when L is hyperbolic (T2 > 4D), and then only when T and D satisfy certain further conditions. The general continuous solution of the equation is given explicitly in terms of either (a) an expression involving an arbitrary periodic function, function additions, inverses and composites, or(b) suitable limits of such solutions.

Motivated by the notion of Ulam stability, we investigate some inequalities connected with the functional equation $$\begin{eqnarray}f(xy)+f(x\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}(y))=2f(x)+h(y),\quad x,y\in G,\end{eqnarray}$$ for functions $f$ and $h$ mapping a semigroup $(G,\cdot )$ into a commutative semigroup $(E,+)$, where the map $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}:G\rightarrow G$ is an endomorphism of $G$ with $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}(x))=x$ for all $x\in G$. We derive from these results some characterisations of inner product spaces. We also obtain a description of solutions to the equation and hyperstability results for the $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}$-quadratic and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}$-Drygas equations.
