1 Introduction
The problem of stability for functional equations originatedfrom questions of Ulam [1] concerning the stability of grouphomomorphisms Hyers [2] had answered affirmatively thequestion of Ulam for Banach spaces The theorem of Hyerswas generalized by Aoki [3] for additive mappings and byRassias [4] for linearmappings by considering an unboundedCauchy difference Thereafter many interesting results of thegeneralized Hyers-Ulam stability to a number of functionalequations and mappings have been investigated EspeciallyCadariu and Radu [5] observed that the existence of thesolution for a functional equation and the estimation of thedifference with the given mapping can be obtained from thefixed point alternative This method is called a fixed pointmethod Also they [6 7] applied this method to prove thestability theorems of the additive functional equation
Katsaras [8] defined a fuzzy norm on a linear space toconstruct a fuzzy structure on the space Since then somemathematicians have introduced several types of fuzzy normin different points of view In particular Bag and Samantafollowing Cheng andMordeson gave an idea of a fuzzy normin such a manner that the corresponding fuzzy metric is ofKramosil and Michalek type [9ndash11] In 2008 Mirmostafaeeand Moslehian [12 13] obtained a fuzzy stability for theadditive functional equation and for the quadratic functionalequation
On the other hand there are some papers where severalresults of stability for different functional equations areproved in probabilistic metric and random normed spaces(see eg [14ndash17]) after that the results were established infuzzy normed spaces or in non-Archimedean fuzzy normedspaces [18ndash21] In these papers except [20] the fixed pointmethod is used Moreover in some of them another type ofmetric is used (see eg [17])
In this paper we take into account the generalizedHyers-Ulam stability of the following quadratic-additive typefunctional equation
2119891 (119909 + 119910 + 119911 + 119908) + 119891 (minus119909 minus 119910 + 119911 + 119908)
+ 119891 (minus119909 + 119910 minus 119911 + 119908) + 119891 (minus119909 + 119910 + 119911 minus 119908)
+ 119891 (119909 minus 119910 minus 119911 + 119908) + 119891 (119909 minus 119910 + 119911 minus 119908)
+ 119891 (119909 + 119910 minus 119911 minus 119908) minus 5119891 (119909) minus 3119891 (minus119909)
minus 5119891 (119910) minus 3119891 (minus119910) minus 5119891 (119911)
minus 3119891 (minus119911) minus 5119891 (119908) minus 3119891 (minus119908) = 0

in the fuzzy normed spaces via the fixed point method Firstof all it is known that if a mapping 119891 satisfies the functionalequation (1) then 119891 is quadratic-additive mapping in [22]

Thus the functional equation (1) may be called the quadratic-additive type functional equation and the general solution offunctional equation (1) may be called the quadratic-additivemapping However the stability problem for the functionalequation (11) in [22] is not investigated and so in this paperwe deal with the stability of this equation
2 Preliminaries
We first introduce one of the fundamental results of the fixedpoint theory For the proof we refer to [23] or [24]
Theorem 1 (the fixed point alternative) Assume that (119883 119889) isa complete generalized metric space andΛ 119883 rarr 119883 is a strictcontraction with the Lipschitz constant 119871 lt 1 If there existsa nonnegative integer 119899
0such that 119889(Λ1198990+1119909 Λ1198990119909) lt infin for
some 119909 isin 119883 then the following statements are true
(F1) The sequence Λ119899119909 converges to a fixed point 119909lowast of Λ(F2) 119909lowast is the unique fixed point of Λ in 119883lowast = 119910 isin 119883 |
119889(Λ1198990119909 119910) lt infin
(F3) If 119910 isin 119883lowast then

We now introduce the definition of fuzzy normed spacesto establish a reasonable fuzzy stability for the quadratic andadditive functional equation (1) in the fuzzy normed spaces(cf [9])
Definition 2 Let119883 be a real linear space A function119873 119883times
R rarr [0 1] is said to be a fuzzy norm on 119883 if the followingconditions are true
(N1) 119873(119909 119905) = 0 for all 119909 isin 119883 and 119905 le 0(N2) 119909 = 0 if and only if119873(119909 119905) = 1 for all 119905 gt 0(N3) 119873(119888119909 119905) = 119873(119909 119905|119888|) for all 119909 isin 119883 and 119888 119905 isin R with
119888 = 0(N4) 119873(119909+119910 119904+ 119905) ge min119873(119909 119904)119873(119910 119905) for all 119909 119910 isin 119883
and 119904 119905 isin R(N5) 119873(119909 sdot) is a nondecreasing function on R and
lim119905rarrinfin
119873(119909 119905) = 1 for all 119909 isin 119883
The pair (119883119873) is called a fuzzy normed space Let (119883119873)be a fuzzy normed space A sequence 119909
119899 in 119883 is said to be
convergent if there exists an 119909 isin 119883 such that lim119899rarrinfin
119873(119909119899minus
119909 119905) = 1 for all 119905 gt 0 In this case 119909 is called the limit of thesequence 119909
119899 and we write 119873-lim
119899rarrinfin119909119899= 119909 A sequence
119909119899 in 119883 is called Cauchy if for each 120576 gt 0 and each 119905 gt 0
there exists an 1198990isin N such that 119873(119909
119899+119901minus 119909119899 119905) gt 1 minus 120576 for
all 119899 ge 1198990and all 119901 isin N It is known that every convergent
sequence in a fuzzy normed space is Cauchy If every Cauchysequence in 119883 converges in 119883 then the fuzzy norm is saidto be complete and the fuzzy normed space is called a fuzzyBanach space
In this paper we note that the triangular norm 119879 = minis used (see the definition of the fuzzy norm in the axiom
(1198734)) while in some recent papers properties of generalized
Hyers-Ulam stability by taking other triangular norms havebeen discussed (eg of Hadzic type in [25] )

for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 and 119905 gt 0 then there exists a uniquequadratic-additive mapping 119865 119883 rarr 119884 such that

Proof We will take into account three different cases for theassumption of 120593
Case 1 Assume that 120593 satisfies the condition (i) We considerthe set of functions
119878 = 119892 119883 997888rarr 119884 | 119892 (0) = 0 (7)
and introduce a generalized metric on 119878 by
119889 (119892 ℎ) = inf 119906 isin R+| 1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119906119905)
ge 119872 (119909 119905) forall119909 isin 119883
(8)
We first prove that 119889 is a generalized metric on 119878 If119889(119892 ℎ) = 0 that is
inf 119906 isin R+| 1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119906119905) ge 119872 (119909 119905) forall119909 isin 119883
= 0
(9)
then we see that
1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119906119905) ge 119872 (119909 119905) (10)
for all 119909 isin 119883 and all 119906 gt 0 which means that
1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119905) ge 119872(119909
119905
119906) (11)
for all 119909 isin 119883 and all 119906 gt 0 It follows that
1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119905) ge lim
119906rarr0
119872(119909119905
119906) = 1 (12)
So we get 119892(119909) = ℎ(119909) for all 119909 isin 119883Conversely if 119892(119909) = ℎ(119909) for all 119909 isin 119883 then we have
1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119906119905) = 119873
1015840(0 119906119905) = 1 ge 119872 (119909 119905) (13)
for all 119906 and 119905 So we know that
119889 (119892 ℎ) = inf 119906 isin R+| 1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119906119905)
ge 119872 (119909 119905) forall119909 isin 119883 = 0
(14)
Of course it is easily checked that 119889(119892 ℎ) = 119889(ℎ 119892) for all119892 ℎ isin 119878
Let 119906 V gt 0 such that 119889(119891 119892) lt 119906 and 119889(119892 ℎ) lt V Then
1198731015840(119891 (119909) minus 119892 (119909) 119906119905) ge 119872 (119909 119905)
1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) V119905) ge 119872 (119909 119905)
(15)
for all 119909 isin 119883 and all 119905 gt 0 Thus we find that
1198731015840(119891 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) (119906 + V) 119905)
ge min 1198731015840 (119891 (119909) minus 119892 (119909) 119906119905) 1198731015840 (119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) V119905)
ge 119872 (119909 119905)
(16)
This implies that 119906+V ge 119889(119891 ℎ) Hence we yield that 119889(119891 ℎ) le119889(119891 119892) + 119889(119892 ℎ) Therefore 119889 is a generalized metric on 119878
Now if we define a function 119869 119878 rarr 119878 by
119869119891 (119909) = (1
8) (119891 (2119909) + 119891 (minus2119909)) + (

4) (119891 (2119909) minus 119891 (minus2119909))
(17)
for all 119909 isin 119883 then we have
119869119899119891 (119909) = 2

which tends to 1 as 119899 rarr infin for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 Thereforeit follows from (23) that

In particular instead of the assumption ofTheorem 3 that(119883119873) is a fuzzy normed space it is enough to consider that119883is a linear spaceMoreover we can useTheorem3 to get a clas-sical result in the framework of normed spaces Let (119883 sdot )be a normed linear space Then we can define a fuzzy norm119873119883on119883 by following

for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 Then the mapping 119891 is a quadratic-additive mapping
Proof If we define a mapping 120593 1198834 rarr R by120593 (119909 119910 119911 119908) = 120601 (119909) + 120601 (119910) + 120601 (119911) + 120601 (119908) (48)
then119891 and 120593 are fulfilled in the conditions ofTheorem 3 with120572 lt 2

2 Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society
Thus the functional equation (1) may be called the quadratic-additive type functional equation and the general solution offunctional equation (1) may be called the quadratic-additivemapping However the stability problem for the functionalequation (11) in [22] is not investigated and so in this paperwe deal with the stability of this equation
2 Preliminaries
We first introduce one of the fundamental results of the fixedpoint theory For the proof we refer to [23] or [24]
Theorem 1 (the fixed point alternative) Assume that (119883 119889) isa complete generalized metric space andΛ 119883 rarr 119883 is a strictcontraction with the Lipschitz constant 119871 lt 1 If there existsa nonnegative integer 119899
0such that 119889(Λ1198990+1119909 Λ1198990119909) lt infin for
some 119909 isin 119883 then the following statements are true
(F1) The sequence Λ119899119909 converges to a fixed point 119909lowast of Λ(F2) 119909lowast is the unique fixed point of Λ in 119883lowast = 119910 isin 119883 |
119889(Λ1198990119909 119910) lt infin
(F3) If 119910 isin 119883lowast then
119889 (119910 119909lowast) le

1 minus 119871119889 (Λ119910 119910) (2)
We now introduce the definition of fuzzy normed spacesto establish a reasonable fuzzy stability for the quadratic andadditive functional equation (1) in the fuzzy normed spaces(cf [9])
Definition 2 Let119883 be a real linear space A function119873 119883times
R rarr [0 1] is said to be a fuzzy norm on 119883 if the followingconditions are true

119873(119909 119905) = 1 for all 119909 isin 119883
The pair (119883119873) is called a fuzzy normed space Let (119883119873)be a fuzzy normed space A sequence 119909
119899 in 119883 is said to be
convergent if there exists an 119909 isin 119883 such that lim119899rarrinfin
119873(119909119899minus
119909 119905) = 1 for all 119905 gt 0 In this case 119909 is called the limit of thesequence 119909
119899 and we write 119873-lim
119899rarrinfin119909119899= 119909 A sequence
119909119899 in 119883 is called Cauchy if for each 120576 gt 0 and each 119905 gt 0
there exists an 1198990isin N such that 119873(119909
119899+119901minus 119909119899 119905) gt 1 minus 120576 for
all 119899 ge 1198990and all 119901 isin N It is known that every convergent
sequence in a fuzzy normed space is Cauchy If every Cauchysequence in 119883 converges in 119883 then the fuzzy norm is saidto be complete and the fuzzy normed space is called a fuzzyBanach space
In this paper we note that the triangular norm 119879 = minis used (see the definition of the fuzzy norm in the axiom
(1198734)) while in some recent papers properties of generalized
Hyers-Ulam stability by taking other triangular norms havebeen discussed (eg of Hadzic type in [25] )

Proof We will take into account three different cases for theassumption of 120593
Case 1 Assume that 120593 satisfies the condition (i) We considerthe set of functions
119878 = 119892 119883 997888rarr 119884 | 119892 (0) = 0 (7)
and introduce a generalized metric on 119878 by
119889 (119892 ℎ) = inf 119906 isin R+| 1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119906119905)
ge 119872 (119909 119905) forall119909 isin 119883
(8)
We first prove that 119889 is a generalized metric on 119878 If119889(119892 ℎ) = 0 that is
inf 119906 isin R+| 1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119906119905) ge 119872 (119909 119905) forall119909 isin 119883
= 0
(9)
then we see that
1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119906119905) ge 119872 (119909 119905) (10)
for all 119909 isin 119883 and all 119906 gt 0 which means that
1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119905) ge 119872(119909
119905
119906) (11)
for all 119909 isin 119883 and all 119906 gt 0 It follows that
1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119905) ge lim
119906rarr0
119872(119909119905
119906) = 1 (12)
So we get 119892(119909) = ℎ(119909) for all 119909 isin 119883Conversely if 119892(119909) = ℎ(119909) for all 119909 isin 119883 then we have
1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119906119905) = 119873
1015840(0 119906119905) = 1 ge 119872 (119909 119905) (13)
for all 119906 and 119905 So we know that
119889 (119892 ℎ) = inf 119906 isin R+| 1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119906119905)
ge 119872 (119909 119905) forall119909 isin 119883 = 0
(14)
Of course it is easily checked that 119889(119892 ℎ) = 119889(ℎ 119892) for all119892 ℎ isin 119878
Let 119906 V gt 0 such that 119889(119891 119892) lt 119906 and 119889(119892 ℎ) lt V Then
1198731015840(119891 (119909) minus 119892 (119909) 119906119905) ge 119872 (119909 119905)
1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) V119905) ge 119872 (119909 119905)
(15)
for all 119909 isin 119883 and all 119905 gt 0 Thus we find that
1198731015840(119891 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) (119906 + V) 119905)
ge min 1198731015840 (119891 (119909) minus 119892 (119909) 119906119905) 1198731015840 (119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) V119905)
ge 119872 (119909 119905)
(16)
This implies that 119906+V ge 119889(119891 ℎ) Hence we yield that 119889(119891 ℎ) le119889(119891 119892) + 119889(119892 ℎ) Therefore 119889 is a generalized metric on 119878
Now if we define a function 119869 119878 rarr 119878 by
119869119891 (119909) = (1

for all 119909 isin 119883 then we have

for all 119909 isin 119883 which implies that 119889(119869119891 119869119892) le (1205722)119889(119891 119892)Thus 119869 is a strictly contractive self-mapping of 119878 with theLipschitz constant 1205722

0 119905 le 119909

where 119909 isin 119883 and 119905 isin R and see [12]
Theorem 4 Let 119883 and 119884 be a normed space and a completenormed space respectively If a mapping 119891 119883 rarr 119884 satisfies

(43)
for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 and all 119905 isin R Therefore it follows from(40) that

If we define a mapping 120593 1198834 rarr R by
120593 (119909 119910 119911 119908) = 119909119901+10038171003817100381710038171199101003817100381710038171003817
119901+ 119911119901+ 119908
119901 (45)
then we see that 119891 and 120593 satisfy the conditions of Theorem 3with 120572 = 120572
1015840= 2119901 for 0 lt 119901 lt 1 and 120572 = 2

Theorem 5 Let 119883 and 119884 be a normed space and a completenormed space respectively Assume that 120601 119883 rarr R is amapping defined by
120601 (119909) = 119909119901 if 119909 = 0

for all 119909 isin 119883 and a fixed 119901 lt 0 Suppose that 119891 119883 rarr 119884 is amapping such that

for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 Then the mapping 119891 is a quadratic-additive mapping
Proof If we define a mapping 120593 1198834 rarr R by120593 (119909 119910 119911 119908) = 120601 (119909) + 120601 (119910) + 120601 (119911) + 120601 (119908) (48)
then119891 and 120593 are fulfilled in the conditions ofTheorem 3 with120572 lt 2

continuous in 119909 119910 under the condition (ii) we arrive at thedesired conclusion

Proof We will take into account three different cases for theassumption of 120593
Case 1 Assume that 120593 satisfies the condition (i) We considerthe set of functions
119878 = 119892 119883 997888rarr 119884 | 119892 (0) = 0 (7)
and introduce a generalized metric on 119878 by
119889 (119892 ℎ) = inf 119906 isin R+| 1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119906119905)
ge 119872 (119909 119905) forall119909 isin 119883
(8)
We first prove that 119889 is a generalized metric on 119878 If119889(119892 ℎ) = 0 that is
inf 119906 isin R+| 1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119906119905) ge 119872 (119909 119905) forall119909 isin 119883
= 0
(9)
then we see that
1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119906119905) ge 119872 (119909 119905) (10)
for all 119909 isin 119883 and all 119906 gt 0 which means that
1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119905) ge 119872(119909
119905
119906) (11)
for all 119909 isin 119883 and all 119906 gt 0 It follows that
1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119905) ge lim
119906rarr0
119872(119909119905
119906) = 1 (12)
So we get 119892(119909) = ℎ(119909) for all 119909 isin 119883Conversely if 119892(119909) = ℎ(119909) for all 119909 isin 119883 then we have
1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119906119905) = 119873
1015840(0 119906119905) = 1 ge 119872 (119909 119905) (13)
for all 119906 and 119905 So we know that
119889 (119892 ℎ) = inf 119906 isin R+| 1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) 119906119905)
ge 119872 (119909 119905) forall119909 isin 119883 = 0
(14)
Of course it is easily checked that 119889(119892 ℎ) = 119889(ℎ 119892) for all119892 ℎ isin 119878
Let 119906 V gt 0 such that 119889(119891 119892) lt 119906 and 119889(119892 ℎ) lt V Then
1198731015840(119891 (119909) minus 119892 (119909) 119906119905) ge 119872 (119909 119905)
1198731015840(119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) V119905) ge 119872 (119909 119905)
(15)
for all 119909 isin 119883 and all 119905 gt 0 Thus we find that
1198731015840(119891 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) (119906 + V) 119905)
ge min 1198731015840 (119891 (119909) minus 119892 (119909) 119906119905) 1198731015840 (119892 (119909) minus ℎ (119909) V119905)
ge 119872 (119909 119905)
(16)
This implies that 119906+V ge 119889(119891 ℎ) Hence we yield that 119889(119891 ℎ) le119889(119891 119892) + 119889(119892 ℎ) Therefore 119889 is a generalized metric on 119878
Now if we define a function 119869 119878 rarr 119878 by
119869119891 (119909) = (1

4) (119891 (2119909) minus 119891 (minus2119909))
(17)
for all 119909 isin 119883 then we have
119869119899119891 (119909) = 2

for all 119909 isin 119883 and all 119899 isin N cup 0For any 119891 119892 isin 119878 let 119906 isin [0infin] be an arbitrary constant
with 119889(119892 119891) le 119906 The definition of 119889 provides that for 0 lt

(19)
for all 119909 isin 119883 which implies that 119889(119869119891 119869119892) le (1205722)119889(119891 119892)Thus 119869 is a strictly contractive self-mapping of 119878 with theLipschitz constant 1205722
Moreover by (4) we see that

inequality (5) holdsNext we will show that 119865 is quadratic-additive mapping
As in the previous case we have inequality (23) for all119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 and all 119899 isin N The first terms on the right-handside of inequality (23) tend to 1 as 119899 rarr infin by the definitionof 119865 Now consider that

(37)
which tends to 1 as 119899 rarr infin for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 Thereforeit follows from (23) that

for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 and 119905 gt 0 That is 119863119865(119909 119910 119911 119908) = 0 forall 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883
In particular instead of the assumption ofTheorem 3 that(119883119873) is a fuzzy normed space it is enough to consider that119883is a linear spaceMoreover we can useTheorem3 to get a clas-sical result in the framework of normed spaces Let (119883 sdot )be a normed linear space Then we can define a fuzzy norm119873119883on119883 by following
119873119883 (119909 119905) =
0 119905 le 119909

where 119909 isin 119883 and 119905 isin R and see [12]
Theorem 4 Let 119883 and 119884 be a normed space and a completenormed space respectively If a mapping 119891 119883 rarr 119884 satisfies

(43)
for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 and all 119905 isin R Therefore it follows from(40) that
119873119884(119863119891 (119909 119910 119911 119908) 119905)

(44)
If we define a mapping 120593 1198834 rarr R by
120593 (119909 119910 119911 119908) = 119909119901+10038171003817100381710038171199101003817100381710038171003817
119901+ 119911119901+ 119908
119901 (45)
then we see that 119891 and 120593 satisfy the conditions of Theorem 3with 120572 = 120572
1015840= 2119901 for 0 lt 119901 lt 1 and 120572 = 2
119901 for 119901 gt 2 So wefeel that (41) holds for all 119909 isin 119883
Theorem 5 Let 119883 and 119884 be a normed space and a completenormed space respectively Assume that 120601 119883 rarr R is amapping defined by
120601 (119909) = 119909119901 if 119909 = 0
0 if 119909 = 0(46)
for all 119909 isin 119883 and a fixed 119901 lt 0 Suppose that 119891 119883 rarr 119884 is amapping such that
1003817100381710038171003817119863119891 (119909 119910 119911 119908)

for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 Then the mapping 119891 is a quadratic-additive mapping
Proof If we define a mapping 120593 1198834 rarr R by120593 (119909 119910 119911 119908) = 120601 (119909) + 120601 (119910) + 120601 (119911) + 120601 (119908) (48)
then119891 and 120593 are fulfilled in the conditions ofTheorem 3 with120572 lt 2
119901lt 1 Based on the fact that 119873R(120593(119909 119910 0 0) 119905) is
continuous in 119909 119910 under the condition (ii) we arrive at thedesired conclusion

In particular instead of the assumption ofTheorem 3 that(119883119873) is a fuzzy normed space it is enough to consider that119883is a linear spaceMoreover we can useTheorem3 to get a clas-sical result in the framework of normed spaces Let (119883 sdot )be a normed linear space Then we can define a fuzzy norm119873119883on119883 by following
119873119883 (119909 119905) =
0 119905 le 119909

for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 and all 119905 isin R Therefore it follows from(40) that

If we define a mapping 120593 1198834 rarr R by

119901+ 119911119901+ 119908
119901 (45)
then we see that 119891 and 120593 satisfy the conditions of Theorem 3with 120572 = 120572
1015840= 2119901 for 0 lt 119901 lt 1 and 120572 = 2
119901 for 119901 gt 2 So wefeel that (41) holds for all 119909 isin 119883
Theorem 5 Let 119883 and 119884 be a normed space and a completenormed space respectively Assume that 120601 119883 rarr R is amapping defined by
120601 (119909) = 119909119901 if 119909 = 0

for all 119909 isin 119883 and a fixed 119901 lt 0 Suppose that 119891 119883 rarr 119884 is amapping such that

for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 Then the mapping 119891 is a quadratic-additive mapping
Proof If we define a mapping 120593 1198834 rarr R by120593 (119909 119910 119911 119908) = 120601 (119909) + 120601 (119910) + 120601 (119911) + 120601 (119908) (48)
then119891 and 120593 are fulfilled in the conditions ofTheorem 3 with120572 lt 2
119901lt 1 Based on the fact that 119873R(120593(119909 119910 0 0) 119905) is
continuous in 119909 119910 under the condition (ii) we arrive at thedesired conclusion

which tends to 1 as 119899 rarr infin for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 Thereforeit follows from (23) that

In particular instead of the assumption ofTheorem 3 that(119883119873) is a fuzzy normed space it is enough to consider that119883is a linear spaceMoreover we can useTheorem3 to get a clas-sical result in the framework of normed spaces Let (119883 sdot )be a normed linear space Then we can define a fuzzy norm119873119883on119883 by following

for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 and all 119905 isin R Therefore it follows from(40) that

then we see that 119891 and 120593 satisfy the conditions of Theorem 3with 120572 = 120572

Theorem 5 Let 119883 and 119884 be a normed space and a completenormed space respectively Assume that 120601 119883 rarr R is amapping defined by
120601 (119909) = 119909119901 if 119909 = 0

for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 Then the mapping 119891 is a quadratic-additive mapping
Proof If we define a mapping 120593 1198834 rarr R by120593 (119909 119910 119911 119908) = 120601 (119909) + 120601 (119910) + 120601 (119911) + 120601 (119908) (48)
then119891 and 120593 are fulfilled in the conditions ofTheorem 3 with120572 lt 2
119901lt 1 Based on the fact that 119873R(120593(119909 119910 0 0) 119905) is
continuous in 119909 119910 under the condition (ii) we arrive at thedesired conclusion

(37)
which tends to 1 as 119899 rarr infin for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 Thereforeit follows from (23) that

for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 and 119905 gt 0 That is 119863119865(119909 119910 119911 119908) = 0 forall 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883
In particular instead of the assumption ofTheorem 3 that(119883119873) is a fuzzy normed space it is enough to consider that119883is a linear spaceMoreover we can useTheorem3 to get a clas-sical result in the framework of normed spaces Let (119883 sdot )be a normed linear space Then we can define a fuzzy norm119873119883on119883 by following
119873119883 (119909 119905) =
0 119905 le 119909

for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 and all 119905 isin R Therefore it follows from(40) that
119873119884(119863119891 (119909 119910 119911 119908) 119905)

If we define a mapping 120593 1198834 rarr R by
120593 (119909 119910 119911 119908) = 119909119901+10038171003817100381710038171199101003817100381710038171003817
119901+ 119911119901+ 119908
119901 (45)
then we see that 119891 and 120593 satisfy the conditions of Theorem 3with 120572 = 120572
1015840= 2119901 for 0 lt 119901 lt 1 and 120572 = 2
119901 for 119901 gt 2 So wefeel that (41) holds for all 119909 isin 119883
Theorem 5 Let 119883 and 119884 be a normed space and a completenormed space respectively Assume that 120601 119883 rarr R is amapping defined by
120601 (119909) = 119909119901 if 119909 = 0
0 if 119909 = 0(46)
for all 119909 isin 119883 and a fixed 119901 lt 0 Suppose that 119891 119883 rarr 119884 is amapping such that
1003817100381710038171003817119863119891 (119909 119910 119911 119908)

for all 119909 119910 119911 119908 isin 119883 Then the mapping 119891 is a quadratic-additive mapping
Proof If we define a mapping 120593 1198834 rarr R by120593 (119909 119910 119911 119908) = 120601 (119909) + 120601 (119910) + 120601 (119911) + 120601 (119908) (48)
then119891 and 120593 are fulfilled in the conditions ofTheorem 3 with120572 lt 2
119901lt 1 Based on the fact that 119873R(120593(119909 119910 0 0) 119905) is
continuous in 119909 119910 under the condition (ii) we arrive at thedesired conclusion
