It is proved here that when 0 less than or equal to m := lim inf(t-->infinity) Q(t)P(g(t)) less than or equal to 1/4 all solutions of this equation oscillate if the condition lim(t-->infinity) sup Q(t)P(g(t)) > (1 + root1 -4m/2)(2) (*) is satisfied. It should be emphasized that the condition (*) can not be improved in some sense.展开更多

The proof is based on a quite recent fixed point theorem in some function spaces. Our main results state that, under some weak natural assumptions, functions satisfying the equation approximately （in some sense） must be actually solutions to it. In this way we obtain inequalities characterizing biadditive mappings and inner product spaces. Our outcomes are connected with the well known issues of Ulam stability and hyperstability.展开更多
