1 Introduction
Probability theory is a powerful hand set for modeling uncertainty and vagueness in various problems arising in the field of science and engineering It has also very useful applications in various fields, e.g., population dynamics, chaos control, computer pro-gramming, nonlinear dynamical systems, nonlinear operators, statistical convergence and others The random topology proves to be a very useful tool to deal with such situations where the use of classical theories breaks down The usual uncertainty prin-ciple of Werner Heisenberg leads to a generalized uncertainty prinprin-ciple, which has been motivated by string theory and non-commutative geometry In strong quantum gravity, regime space-time points are determined in a random manner Thus, impossi-bility of determining the position of particles gives the space-time a random structure Because of this random structure, position space representation of quantum mechanics breaks down and so a generalized normed space of quasi-position eigenfunction is required Hence one needs to discuss on a new family of random norms There are many situations where the norm of a vector is not possible to be found and the con-cept of random norm seems to be more suitable in such cases, i.e., we can deal with such situations by modeling the inexactness through the random norm
The stability problem of functional equations originated from a question of Ulam [1] concerning the stability of group homomorphisms Hyers [2] gave a first affirmative partial answer to the question of Ulam for Banach spaces Hyers’ Theorem was gener-alized by Aoki [3] for additive mappings and by Rassias [4] for linear mappings by

Trang 2considering an unbounded Cauchy difference The paper of Rassias [4] has provided a
lot of influence in the development of what we call generalized Hyers-Ulam stability or
as Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of functional equations A generalization of the Rassias
theorem was obtained by Găvruta [5] by replacing the unbounded Cauchy difference
by a general control function in the spirit of Rassias approach
The stability problems of several functional equations have been extensively investi-gated by a number of authors and there are many interesting results concerning this
problem (see [4,6-27])
In [28,29], Jun and Kim considered the following cubic functional equation
f (2x + y) + f (2x − y) = 2f (x + y) + 2f (x − y) + 12f (x). (2)
It is easy to show that the function f(x) = x3 satisfies the functional equation (2), which is called a cubic functional equation and every solution of the cubic functional
equation is said to be a cubic mapping
In [8], Lee et al considered the following quartic functional equation
f (2x + y) + f (2x − y) = 4f (x + y) + 4f (x − y) + 24f (x) − 6f (y). (3)
It is easy to show that the function f(x) = x4 satisfies the functional equation (3), which is called a quartic functional equation and every solution of the quartic
func-tional equation is said to be a quartic mapping
Let X be a set A function d : X × X® [0, ∞] is called a generalized metric on X if d satisfies the following conditions:
(1) d(x, y) = 0 if and only if x = y;
(2) d(x, y) = d(y, x) for all x, yÎ X;
(3) d(x, z)≤ d(x, y) + d(y, z) for all x, y, z Î X
We recall a fundamental result in fixed point theory
Theorem 1.1 [30,31]Let (X, d) be a complete generalized metric space and J : X ® X
be a strictly contractive mapping with Lipschitz constant L < 1 Then, for any x Î X,
either
d(J n x, J n+1 x) =∞
for all nonnegative integers n or there exists a positive integer n0such that
(1) d(Jnx, Jn+1x) <∞ for all n ≥ n0; (2) the sequence {Jnx} converges to a fixed point y* of J;
(3) y* is the unique fixed point of J in the setY = {y ∈ X|d(J n0x, y) < ∞}; (4)d(y, y∗)≤ 1
1−Ld(y, Jy)for all yÎ Y
In 1996, Isac and Rassias [32] were the first to provide applications of stability theory
of functional equations for the proof of new fixed point theorems with applications
Using fixed point methods, the stability problems of several functional equations have
been extensively investigated by a number of authors (see [33-38])
Trang 32 Preliminaries
The theory of random normed spaces (RN-spaces) is important as a generalization of
deterministic result of linear normed spaces and also in the study of random operator
equations The RN-spaces may also provide us the appropriate tools to study the
geo-metry of nuclear physics and have important application in quantum particle physics
The generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of different functional equations in random
normed spaces, RN-spaces and fuzzy normed spaces has been recently studied by
Alsina [39], Mirmostafaee, Mirzavaziri and Moslehian [40,35], Miheţ, and Radu [41],
Miheţ, et al [42,43], Baktash et al [44], Najati [45] and Saadati et al [24]
LetL = (L, ≥ L)be a complete lattice, i.e., a partially ordered set in which every none-mpty subset admits supremum and infimum and0 = infL,1 = supL The space of
latticetic random distribution functions, denoted by+
L, is defined as the set of all map-pings F : ℝ ∪ {-∞, +∞} ® L such that F is left continuous, non-decreasing on ℝ and

1 , if t > 0.
Definition 2.1 [46] A triangular norm (t-norm) on L is a mapping T : (L)2→ L
satisfying the following conditions:
(3)(∀(x, y, z) ∈ (L)3)(T (x, T (y, z)) = T (T (x, y), z))(: associativity);
(4) (∀(x, x’, y, y’) Î (L)4
)(x≤Lx’ andy≤Ly ⇒T (x, y)≤ L T (x , y))(: monotonicity)
Let {xn} be a sequence in L converges to xÎ L (equipped the order topology) The t-normT is called a continuous t-norm if
lim
n→∞T (x n, y) = T (x, y),
for any yÎ L
A t-norm T can be extended (by associativity) in a unique way to an n-array opera-tion taking for (x1, , xn)Î Ln
the valueT (x1, , x n)defined by
T0
i=1 x i= 1, T n
i=1 x i=T (T n−1
i=1 x i, xn) = T (x1, , x n).
The t-norm T can also be extended to a countable operation taking, for any sequence {xn} in L, the value
T∞
i=1 x i= lim
n→∞T n
The limit on the right side of (4) exists since the sequence(T n
i=1 x i)n∈Nis non-increas-ing and bounded from below
Trang 4Note that we putT = T whenever L = [0, 1] If T is a t-norm then, for all xÎ [0, 1]
and n Î N ∪ {0}, x (n) T is defined by 1 if n = 0 andT(x (n T−1), x)if n≥ 1 A t-norm T is
said to be of Hadžić-type (we denote byT∈H) if the family(x (n) T )n∈Nis
equicontinu-ous at x = 1 (see [47])
Definition 2.2 [46] A continuous t-normT on L = [0, 1]2is said to be continuous t-representable if there exist a continuous t-norm * and a continuous t-conorm ◇ on
[0, 1] such that, for all x = (x1, x2), y = (y1, y2)Î L,
T (x, y) = (x1∗ y1, x2♦y2)
For example,
T (a, b) = (a1b1, min{a2+ b2, 1})
and
M(a, b) = (min {a1, b1}, max{a2, b2})
for all a = (a1, a2), b = (b1, b2)Î [0, 1]2
are continuous t-representable
Define the mappingT∧from L2 to L by
T∧(x, y) =
x, if y≥Lx,
y, if x≥Ly.
Recall (see [47,48]) that, if {xn} is a given sequence in L, then(T∧)n i=1 x iis defined recurrently by(T∧)1
i=1 x i = x1and(T∧)n i=1 x i=T∧((T∧)n i=1−1x i, xn)for all n≥ 2

Definition 2.3 A latticetic random normed space is a triple(X, μ, T∧), where X is a vector space andμ is a mapping from X intoD+
Lsatisfying the following conditions:
(LRN1)μx(t) =ε0(t) for all t > 0 if and only if x = 0;
(LRN2)μ αx (t) = μ x
t
|α|
for all x in X,a ≠ 0 and t ≥ 0;
(LRN3)μ x+y(t + s)≥L T∧(μ x(t), μ y(s))for all x, yÎ X and t, s ≥ 0
We note that, from (LPN2), it follows μ-x(t) =μx(t) for all xÎ X and t ≥ 0
Example 2.4 Let L = [0, 1] × [0, 1] and an operation ≤Lbe defined by
L = {(a1, a2) : (a1, a2)∈ [0, 1] × [0, 1] and a1+ a2≤ 1},
(a1, a2)≤L(b1, b2)⇔ a1≤ b1, a2≥ b2, ∀a = (a1, a2), b = (b1, b2)∈ L.
Then (L, ≤L) is a complete lattice (see [46]) In this complete lattice, we denote its units by 0L = (0, 1) and 1L = (1, 0) Let (X, ||·||) be a normed space Let
T (a, b) = (min{a1, b1}, max{a2, b2})for all a = (a1, a2), b = (b1, b2)Î [0, 1] × [0, 1]
and μ be a mapping defined by
μ x(t) =
t
t + ||x||,
||x||
t + ||x||
Then,(X, μ, T )is a latticetic random normed spaces
Trang 5If(X, μ, T∧)is a latticetic random normed space, then we have
V = {V(ε, λ) : ε> L0 ,λ ∈ L\{0 L, 1L}
is a complete system of neighborhoods of null vector for a linear topology on X gen-erated by the norm F, where
V( ε, λ) = {x ∈ X : F x(ε) > L N (λ)}.
Definition 2.5 Let(X, μ, T∧)be a latticetic random normed spaces
(1) A sequence {xn} in X is said to be convergent to a point x Î X if, for any t > 0 andε ∈ L\{0 L}, there exists a positive integer N such thatμ x n −x (t) > L N (ε)for all n≥
N
(2) A sequence {xn} in X is called a Cauchy sequence if, for any t > 0 andε ∈ L\{0 L}, there exists a positive integer N such thatμ x n −x m (t) > L N (ε)for all n≥ m ≥ N
(3) A latticetic random normed space(X, μ, T∧)is said to be complete if every Cau-chy sequence in X is convergent to a point in X
Theorem 2.6 If(X, μ, T∧)is a latticetic random normed space and{xn} is a sequence such that xn® x, thenlimn→∞μ x n (t) = μ x (t)
Proof The proof is the same as classical random normed spaces (see [49]).□ Lemma 2.7 Let(X, μ, T∧)be a latticetic random normed space and xÎ X If
μ x(t) = C, ∀t > 0,
thenC= 1 Land x= 0
Proof Letμx(t) = C for all t > 0 Since Ran(μ) ⊆ D+
L, we haveC= 1 Land, by (LRN1),
we conclude that x = 0.□
3 Non-Archimedean Lattictic random normed space
By a non-Archimedean field, we mean a fieldKequipped with a function (valuation) | ·
| from K into [0, ∞) such that |r| = 0 if and only if r = 0, |rs| = |r| |s| and |r + s| ≤
max{|r|, |s|} for allr, s∈K Clearly, |1| = | - 1| = 1 and |n| ≤ 1 for all n Î N By the
trivial valuationwe mean the mapping | · | taking everything but 0 into 1 and |0| = 0
LetX be a vector space over a fieldKwith a non-Archimedean non-trivial valuation
| · | A function|| · || :X → [0, ∞)is called a non-Archimedean norm, if it satisfies the
following conditions:
(1) ||x|| = 0 if and only if x = 0;
(2) for anyr∈K,x∈X, ||rx|| = |r| ||x||;
(3) the strong triangle inequality (ultrametric), i.e.,
Then(X , || · ||)is called a non-Archimedean normed space
Due to the fact that
a sequence {xn} is a Cauchy sequence if and only if {xn+1- xn} converges to zero in a non-Archimedean normed space By a complete non-Archimedean normed space, we
mean one in which every Cauchy sequence is convergent
Trang 6In 1897, Hensel [50] discovered the p-adic numbers as a number theoretical analo-gue of power series in complex analysis Fix a prime number p For any nonzero
rational number x, there exists a unique integer nx Î ℤ such that x = a b p n x, where a
and b are integers not divisible by p Then,|x|p := p −n x defines a non-Archimedean
norm on Q The completion ofQwith respect to the metric d(x, y) = |x - y|p is
denoted byQp, which is called the p-adic number field
Throughout the paper, we assume thatX is a vector space andYis a complete non-Archimedean normed space
Definition 3.1 A Archimedean lattictic random normed space (briefly, non-Archimedean LRN-space) is a triple(X , μ, T ), where X is a linear space over a
non-Archimedean fieldK,T is a continuous t-norm and is μ is a mapping fromX intoD+
L
satisfying the following conditions hold:
(NA-LRN1)μx(t) =ε0(t) for all t > 0 if and only if x = 0;
(NA-LRN2)μ αx (t) = μ x
t
|α|
for allx∈X, t > 0,a ≠ 0;
(NA-LRN3)μ x+y(max {t, s})≥L T (μ x(t), μ y(s))for allx, y, z∈X and t, s ≥ 0
It is easy to see that, if (NA-LRN3) holds, then we have (RN3)μ x+y(t + s)≥LT (μ x(t), μ y(s))
As a classical example, if(X , ||.||)is a non-Archimedean normed linear space, then the triple(X , μ, T ), where L = [0, 1],T = minand
μ x(t) =
1, t > ||x||,
is a non-Archimedean LRN-space
Example 3.2 Let(X , ||.||)be is a non-Archimedean normed linear space in which L
= [0, 1] Define
t + ||x||, ∀x ∈ X , t > 0.
Then(X , μ, min)is a non-Archimedean RN-space
Definition 3.3 Let(X , μ, T )be a non-Archimedean LRN-space and {xn} be a sequence inX
(1) The sequence {xn} is said to be convergent if there exists x∈X such that
lim
n→∞μ x n −x (t) = 1 L
for all t > 0 In that case, x is called the limit of the sequence {xn}
(2) The sequence {xn} inX is called a Cauchy sequence if, for anyε ∈ L\{0 L}and t >
0, there exists a poisitve integer n0 such that, for all n ≥ n0 and p > 0,
μ x n+p −x n (t) > L N (ε)
(3) If every Cauchy sequence is convergent, then the random norm is said to be com-plete and the non-Archimedean RN-space is called a non-Archimedean random
Banach space
Trang 7Remark 3.4 [51] Let(X , μ, T∧)be a non-Archimedean LRN-space Then, we have
μ x n+p −x n (t)≥LT∧{μx n+j+1 −x n+j (t) : j = 0, 1, 2, , p− 1}
Thus the sequence {xn} is Cauchy sequence if, for anyε ∈ L\{0 L}and t > 0, there exists a positive integer n0such that, for all n≥ n0,
μ x n+1 −x n (t) > L N (ε).
4 Generalized Ulam-Hyers stability for functional equation (1): an odd case
in non-Archimedean LRN-spaces
Let Kbe a non-Archimedean field,X be a vector space overKand(Y, μ, T)be a
non-Archimedean random Banach space over KIn this section, we investigate the stability
of the functional equation (1): an odd case where f is a mapping fromKtoY

Definition 4.1 A mapping f : X → Y is said to beΨ-approximately mixed ACQ if
We assume that 2 ≠ 0 inK(i.e., the characteristic ofKis not 2) Our main result, in this section, is as follows:
Theorem 4.2 Let Kbe a non-Archimedean field, Xbe a vector space over Kand
(Y, μ, T)be a non-Archimedean complete LRN-space overKLet f : X → Ybe an odd

then there exists a unique cubic mappingC : X → Ysuch that
μ f (x) −C(x) (t)≥LT∞
i=1 M
x, α i+1 t
|2|ki
where
M(x, t) := T( x,0(t), 2x,0 (t), , 2k−1x,0 (t)), ∀x ∈ X , t > 0.
Proof First, by induction on j, we show that for anyx∈X, t > 0 and j≥ 2,
μ f (4 j
x)−256j f (x) (t) ≥ Mj(x, t) := T( (x, 0, t), , (4 j−1x, 0, t)). (9) Putting y = 0 in (5), we obtain
μ f (4x) −256f (x) (t) ≥ (x, 0, t), ∀x ∈ X , t > 0.
Trang 8This proves (9) for j = 2 Assume that (9) holds for some j≥ 2 Replacing y by 0 and
xby 4jxin (5), we get
μ f (4 j+1 x) −256f (4 j x) (t) ≥ (4 j x, 0, t), ∀x ∈ X , t > 0.
Since |256|≤ 1, we have
μ f (4 j+1 x)−256j+1 f (x) (t) ≥ T(μf (4 j+1 x) −256f (4 j x) (t), μ 256f (4 j x)−256j+1 f (x) (t))
= T

x) −256f (4 j
x) (t), μ f (4 j
x)−256j f (x) (t))
≥ T((4 j x, 0, t), M j (x, t))
Thus (9) holds for all j≥ 2 In particular,
Replacing x by 4-(kn+k)xin (10) and using inequality (6), we obtain

which proves (8) Since T is continuous, from a well-known result in probabilistic metric space (see [49], Chapter 12), it follows that
lim
n→∞μ 1(x,y,k) (t) = μ 2(x,y) (t), ∀x, y ∈ X , t > 0,
for almost all t > 0., where
1(x, y, k) =(4 k)n · 16f (4 −kn (x + 4y)) + (4 k)n f (4 −kn (4x − y))
− 306[(4k)n · 9f (4 −kn (x + y

and
x + y

− 136Q(x − y) + 1394Q(x + y) − 425Q(y) + 1530Q(x).
On the other hand, replacing x, y by 4-knx, 4-kny, respectively, in (5) and using (NA-RN2) and (6), we get
μ 1(x,y,k) (t) ≥
4−kn x, 4 −kn y, t
|4k|n

x, y, α n t

Sincelimn→∞x, y, α n t

= 1, it follows that Q is a quartic mapping
IfQ :X → Y is another quartic mapping such that μQ ’(x)-f(x)(t) ≥ M(x, t) for all
x∈X and t > 0, then, for all nÎ N,x∈X and t > 0,

Therefore, by (12), we conclude that Q = Q’ This completes the proof □ Corollary 4.3 Let Kbe a non-Archimedean field, Xbe a vector space over Kand
(Y, μ, T)be a non-Archimedean random Banach space over Kunder a t-normT∈H
Let f : X → Ybe aΨ-approximately quartic mapping If, for some a Î ℝ, a > 0, and
some integer k, k> 3, with |4k| <a
(4 −k x, 4 −k y, t) ≥ (x, y, αt), ∀x ∈ X , t > 0,
then there exists a unique quartic mappingQ : X → Ysuch that

where
M(x, t) := T((x, 0, t), (4x, 0, t), , (4 k−1x, 0, t)), ∀x ∈ X , t > 0.
Proof Since
lim

and T is of Hadžić type, it follows that

Now, if we apply Theorem 4.2, we get the conclusion.□ Example 4.4 Let(X , μ, T M)non-Archimedean random normed space in which
