Hyperstability of some functional equations in modular spaces
Abderrahman Baza, Mohamed Rossafi, Mohammed Mouniane
MFAT 31 (2025), no. 4, 310-324
310-324
This paper is devoted to the study of hyperstability phenomena in the context of convex modular spaces. In particular, we investigate the hyperstability of three fundamental functional equations: the quadratic equation \begin{equation} \varphi(x+y)+\varphi(x-y)=2\varphi(x)+2\varphi(y) \end{equation} the general linear equation \begin{equation} \varphi(ax+by)=A\varphi(x)+B\varphi(y)+C \end{equation} and the $n$-dimensional quadratic equation \begin{equation} f\left(\sum_{i=1}^{m}x_{i}\right)+\sum_{1\leq i < j\leq m}f\big(x_{i}-x_{j}\big)=m\sum_{i=1}^{m}f(x_{i}). \end{equation} Using the direct method, we establish sufficient conditions under which every approximate solution of these equations in modular spaces coincides exactly with an exact solution. Our results extend earlier contributions obtained in Banach spaces via fixed point techniques, and provide new insights into the stability of functional equations in the broader context of modular spaces.
Matrices Induced by Scaled Hypercomplex Numbers over the Real Field $\mathbb{R}$
MFAT 31 (2025), no. 4, 261-309
261-309
In this paper, we construct, and study a certain type of definite, or indefinite inner product spaces over the real field $\mathbb{R}$, induced by the scaled hypercomplex numbers $\mathbb{H}_{t}$ for a fixed scale $t\in\mathbb{R}$, and some bounded operators acting on such vector spaces. In particular, we are interested in the vector spaces $\mathbb{H}_{t}^{N}$ consisting of all $N$-tuples of scaled hypercomplex numbers of $\mathbb{H}_{t}$, and the $\left(N\times N\right)$-matrices acting on $\mathbb{H}_{t}^{N}$ whose entries are from $\mathbb{H}_{t}$, i.e., $\mathbb{H}_{t}$-matrices, for all $N\in\mathbb{N}$. For an arbitrarily fixed $N\in\mathbb{N}$, we define $\mathbb{H}_{t}^{N}$ as a subspace of a certain functional vector space $\mathbf{H}_{t:2}$ equipped with a well-defined definite (if $t<0$), or indefinite (if $t\geq0$) inner product introduced in [6, 7, 8]. So, one can check immediately that our subspace $\mathbb{H}_{t}^{N}$ becomes a restricted definite, or indefinite inner product Banach space. Operator-theoretic, operator-algebraic and free-probabilistic properties of $\mathbb{H}_{t}$-matrices are considered and characterized on $\mathbb{H}_{t}^{N}$.
On faithfulness, DP-transformations and Cantor series expansions
Grygoriy Torbin, Yuliia Voloshyn
MFAT 31 (2025), no. 4, 360-370
360-370
The paper is devoted to the study of conditions for the Hausdorff-Besicovitch faithfulness of the family of cylinders generated by Cantor series expansions.
We show that there exist subgeometric Cantor series expansions for which the corresponding families of cylinders are not faithful for the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension on the unit interval. On the other hand we found a rather
wide subfamily of subgeometric Cantor series expansions generating faithful families of cylinders.
We also study conditions for the Hausdorff-Besicovitch dimension preservation on [0;1] by probability distribution functions of random variables with independent symbols of arithmetic Cantor series expansions.
New Definition of $\mathcal{N}^{\alpha}_F$-Sumudu conformable transform
Bahloul Rachid, Rachad Houssame
MFAT 31 (2025), no. 4, 336-343
336-343
Using the new definition of the $\mathcal{N}^{\alpha}_F$-derivative function introduced by Juan E. Nápoles Valdés and al. (2020), we provide a new definition for the $\mathcal{N}^{\alpha}_F$-Sumudu transform, $\mathcal{N}^{\alpha}_F$-Sumudu conformable transform. Additionally, we establish several important results related to these new transforms. We also give a new definition of convolution related to this $\mathcal{N}^{\alpha}_F$-derivative and we show that it is commutative and associative.
