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.
