We prove a generalization of Hyers＇ theorem on the stability of approximately additive mapping and a generalization of Badora＇s theorem on an approximate ring homomorphism. We also obtain a more general stability theorem, which gives the stability theorems on Jordan and Lie homomorphisms. The proofs of the theorems given in this paper follow essentially the D. H. Hyers-Th. M. Rassias approach to the stability of functional equations connected with S. M. Ulam＇s problem.
In this work, we prove that a map F from a compact metric space K into a Banach space X over F is a Lipschitz-α operator if and only if for each σ in X^＊ the map σoF is a Lipschitz-α function on K. In the case that K = [a, b], we show that a map f from [a, b] into X is a Lipschitz-1 operator if and only if it is absolutely continuous and the map σ→ （σ o f）＇ is a bounded linear operator from X^＊ into L^∞（[a, b]）. When K is a compact subset of a finite interval （a, b） and 0 〈 α ≤ 1, we show that every Lipschitz-α operator f from K into X can be extended as a Lipschitz-α operator F from [a, b] into X with Lα（f） ≤ Lα（F） ≤ 3^1-α Lα（f）. A similar extension theorem for a little Lipschitz-α operator is also obtained.
