Fixed-point results and the Hyers–Ulam stability of linear equations of higher orders

Bing Xu, Janusz Brzdęk and Weinian Zhang

Vol. 273 (2015), No. 2, 483–498
Abstract

We present a general method for investigation of the Hyers–Ulam stability of linear equations (differential, difference, functional, integral) of higher orders. It is shown that in many cases, that kind of stability for such equations is a consequence of a similar property of the corresponding first-order equations. Some particular examples of applications for differential, integral, difference and functional equations are described. The method is based on some fixed-point results that are proved in this paper.
