The stability problem of functional equations started with the question concerning stability of group homomorphisms proposed by Ulam 1 during a talk before a Mathematical Colloquium at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. In 1941, Hyers 2 gave a partial solution of Ulam’s problem for the case of approximate additive mappings in the context of Banach spaces. In 1978, Rassias 3 generalized the t...

In this paper, we study some functional inequalities (such as Poincaré inequality, logarithmic Sobolev inequality, generalized Cheeger isoperimetric inequality, transportation-information inequality and transportation-entropy inequality) for reversible nearest-neighbor Markov processes on connected finite graphs by means of (random) path method. We provide estimates of the involved constants.

In 1940, Ulam [13] proposed the Ulam stability problem of additive mappings. In the next year, Hyers [5] considered the case of approximately additive mappings f : E→ E′, where E and E′ are Banach spaces and f satisfies inequality ‖ f (x+ y)− f (x)− f (y)‖ ≤ ε for all x, y ∈ E. It was shown that the limit L(x) = limn→∞ 2−n f (2nx) exists for all x ∈ E and that L is the unique additive mapping s...

In this paper we consider Jessen’s functional, defined by means of a positive isotonic linear functional, and investigate its properties. Derived results are then applied to weighted generalized power means, which yields extensions of some recent results, known from the literature. In particular, we obtain the whole series of refinements and converses of numerous classical inequalities such as ...
