1 Introduction
In 1940, Ulam gave a wide ranging talk before the Mathematics Club of the University of Wisconsin, in which he discussed a number of important unsolved problems (see [1]) Among those was the question concerning the stability of homomorphisms: letG1be a group and letG2be a metric group with a metricd( ·,·) Given anyδ > 0, does there exist
anε > 0 such that if a function h : G1→ G2satisfies the inequalityd(h(xy), h(x)h(y)) < ε
for allx, y ∈ G1, then there exists a homomorphismH : G1→ G2withd(h(x), H(x)) < δ
for allx ∈ G1?
In the following year, Hyers [2] partially solved the Ulam problem for the case where
G1 andG2are Banach spaces Furthermore, the result of Hyers has been generalized by Rassias (see [3]) Since then, the stability problems of various functional equations have been investigated by many authors (see [4–6])
We will now consider the Hyers-Ulam stability problem for the differential equations: assume that X is a normed space over a scalar field Kand that I is an open interval,
whereKdenotes eitherRorC Leta0,a1, , a n:I →K be given continuous functions, letg : I → X be a given continuous function, and let y : I → X be an n times continuously
differentiable function satisfying the inequality
a n(t)y(n)(t) + a n −1(t)y(n −1)(t) + ···+a1(t)y (t) + a0(t)y(t) + g(t) ≤ ε (1.1)
Trang 2for allt ∈ I and for a given ε > 0 If there exists an n times continuously differentiable functiony0:I → X satisfying
a n(t)y(0n)(t) + a n −1(t)y(0n −1)(t) + ···+a1(t)y 0(t) + a0(t)y0(t) + g(t) =0 (1.2)
and y(t) − y0(t) ≤ K(ε) for any t ∈ I, where K(ε) is an expression of ε with lim ε →0K(ε) =
0, then we say that the above differential equation has the Hyers-Ulam stability For more detailed definitions of the Hyers-Ulam stability, we refer the reader to [4–8]
Alsina and Ger were the first authors who investigated the Hyers-Ulam stability of differential equations They proved in [9] that if a differentiable function f : I→Ris a solution of the differential inequality| y (t) − y(t) | ≤ ε, where I is an open subinterval of
R, then there exists a solution f0:I →Rof the differential equation y (t) = y(t) such that
| f (t) − f0(t) | ≤3ε for any t ∈ I.
This result of Alsina and Ger has been generalized by Takahasi et al They proved in [10] that the Hyers-Ulam stability holds true for the Banach space valued differential equationy (t) = λy(t) (see also [11,12])
Moreover, Miura et al [13] investigated the Hyers-Ulam stability of nth order
lin-ear differential equation with complex coefficients They [14] also proved the Hyers-Ulam stability of linear differential equations of first order, y(t) + g(t)y(t) =0, where
g(t) is a continuous function Indeed, they dealt with the differential inequality y (t) + g(t)y(t) ≤ ε for some ε > 0.
Recently, Jung proved the Hyers-Ulam stability of various linear differential equations
of first order (see [15–18]) and further investigated the general solution of the inhomo-geneous Legendre differential equation and its Hyers-Ulam stability (see [14,19])
In Section 2 of this paper, by using the ideas from [19], we investigate the general solution of the inhomogeneous Bessel differential equation of the form
x2y (x) + xy (x) +
x2− ν2
y(x) =
∞
m =0
where the parameterν is a given positive nonintegral number.Section 3will be devoted to
a partial solution of the Hyers-Ulam stability problem for the Bessel differential equation (2.1) in a subclass of analytic functions
2 Inhomogeneous Bessel equation
A function is called a Bessel function if it satisfies the Bessel differential equation
x2y (x) + xy (x) +
x2− ν2
The Bessel equation plays a great role in physics and engineering In particular, this equation is most useful for treating the boundary-value problems exhibiting cylindrical symmetries

(b) If the power series∞
m =0a m x m converges for all x ∈(− ρ, ρ) with ρ ≤ 1, then for any positive ρ0< ρ, the power series∞
m =0c m x m with c m ’s given in ( 2.2 ) satisfies the inequality
|∞ m =0c m x m | ≤ C2for any x ∈(− ρ0,ρ0) and for some positive constant C2which depends
on ρ0 Since ρ0 is arbitrarily close to ρ, this means that ∞
m =0c m x m is convergent for all

m =0a m x m is absolutely convergent on its interval of convergence, withx =1,∞
m =0a mconverges absolutely, that is,∞

Lemma 2 Suppose that the power series∞

x ∈(− ρ0,ρ0) and for some positive constant C which depends on ρ0.
Proof The first statement follows from the latter statement Therefore, let us prove the
latter statement If ρ ≤1, then ρ1= ρ By Lemma 1(b), for any positive ρ0< ρ = ρ1,
|∞ m =0c m x m | ≤ C2 for x ∈(− ρ0,ρ0) and for some positive constant C2 which depends

Using these definitions and the lemmas above, we will show that∞

Theorem 2.1 Assume that ν is a given positive nonintegral number and the radius of convergence of the power series∞
m =0a m x m is ρ Let ρ1=min{1,ρ } Then, every solution

where y h(x) is a Bessel function and c m ’s are given by( 2.2 ).

3 Partial solution to Hyers-Ulam stability problem
In this section, we will investigate a property of the Bessel differential equation (2.1) con-cerning the Hyers-Ulam stability problem That is, we will try to answer the question whether there exists a Bessel function near any approximate Bessel function
Theorem 3.1 Let y : ( − ρ, ρ) →C be a given analytic function which can be represented by
a power-series expansion centered at x = 0 Suppose there exists a constant ε > 0 such that
x2y (x) + xy (x) +
x2− ν2
Trang 6for all x ∈(− ρ, ρ) and for some positive nonintegral number ν Let ρ1=min{1,ρ } Suppose, further, that x2y (x) + xy (x) + (x2− ν2)y(x) =∞ m =0a m x m satisfies
∞
m =0
a m x m ≤ K
∞
m =0
a m x m
for all x ∈(− ρ, ρ) and for some constant K Then there exists a Bessel function y h: (− ρ1,ρ1)→
Csuch that
y(x) − y h(x) ≤ Cε (3.3)
for all x ∈(− ρ0,ρ0), where ρ0< ρ1is any positive number and C is some constant which depends on ρ0.
Proof We assumed that y(x) can be represented by a power series and
x2y (x) + xy (x) +
x2− ν2
y(x) =
∞
m =0
also satisfies
∞
m =0

According toTheorem 2.1,y can be written as y h+∞
m =0c m x mforx ∈(− ρ1,ρ1), where
y his some Bessel function andc m’s are given by (2.2) Then by Lemmas1and2and their proofs (replaceM1andM3withKε inLemma 1),
y(x) − y h(x) =∞
m =0
c m x m
for allx ∈(− ρ0,ρ0), whereρ0< ρ1is any positive number andC is some constant which
depends onρ0 This completes the proof of our theorem
4 Example
In this section, our task is to show that there certainly exist functionsy(x) which satisfy
all the conditions given inTheorem 3.1
Example 1 Let y : ( −1, 1)→Rbe an analytic function given by
y(x) = J1/2(x) + b
x2+x4+···+x2n
whereJ1/2(x) is the Bessel function of the first kind of order 1/2, n is a given positive
integer, andb is a constant satisfying
