A fixed point approach to stability of a quadratic equation

Abstract

Using the fixed point alternative theorem we establish the orthogonal stability of quadratic functional equation of Pexider type $f(x+y)+g(x-y)=h(x)+k(y)$, where $f, g, h, k$ are mappings from a symmetric orthogonality space to a Banach space, by orthogonal additive mappings under a necessary and sufficient condition on $f$.
