In this work, we investigate the refined stability of the additive, quartic, and quintic functional equations in modular spaces with and without the Δ2-condition using the direct method (Hyers method). We also examine Ulam stability in 2-Banach space using the direct method. Additionally, using a suitable counterexample, we eventually demonstrate that the stability of these equations fails in a certain case. Full article

In this work, we introduce a new type of generalized mixed-type quadratic-additive functional equation and obtain its general solution. The main goal of this work is to investigate Ulam stability of this mixed type of quadratic-additive functional equation in the setting of non-Archimedean fuzzy φ-2-normed space and non-Archimedean Banach space using the direct and fixed point approaches by taking into our account two cases: even mapping and odd mapping.

The use of non-standard calculus means have been proven to be extremely powerful for studying old and new properties of special functions and polynomials. These methods have helped to frame either elementary and special functions within the same logical context. Methods of Umbral and operational calculus have been embedded in a powerful and efficient analytical tool, which will be applied to the study of the properties of distributions such as Tsallis, Weibull and Student’s. We state that they can be viewed as standard Gaussian distributions and we take advantage of the relevant properties to infer those of the aforementioned distributions. Full article
