Abstract

We study the Hyers-Ulam stability theory of a four-variate Jensen-type functional equation by considering the approximate remainder ϕ and obtain the corresponding error formulas. We bring to light the close relation between the β-homogeneity of the norm on F-spaces and the approximate remainder ϕ, where we allow p,q,r, and s to be different in their Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability.
