Abstract

We obtain the Hyers-Ulam stability and modified Hyers-Ulam stability for the equations of the form g(x+p)=φ(x)g(x) in the following settings: |g(x+p)φ(x)g(x)|δ,|g(x+p)φ(x)g(x)|ϕ(x),|(g(x+p)/φ(x)g(x))1|ψ(x). As a consequence we obtain the stability theorems for the gamma functional equation.
