Abstract

In this paper, the authors investigate the general solution and generalized Hyers–Ulam stability of the n-dimensional quartic functional equation of the form

$$\begin{aligned} f\left( \sum _{i=1}^{n}x_i\right)&= \sum _{1 \le i<j< k< l\le n} f\left( x_i+x_j+x_k+x_l\right) +\left( -n+4\right) \nonumber \\ {}&\sum _{1 \le i< j< k \le n} f\left( x_i+x_j+x_k\right) +\left( \frac{n^2-7n+12}{2}\right) \sum _{ \begin{array}{c} 1=i;\\ i\ne j \end{array}}^{n} f\left( x_i+x_j\right) \nonumber \\&- \sum _{i=1}^{n} f\left( 2x_i\right) + \left( \frac{-n^3+9n^2-26n+120}{6}\right) \ \ \sum _{i=1}^{n}\left( \frac{f(x_i)+f(-x_i)}{2}\right) \end{aligned}$$

where n is a positive integer with \({\mathbb {N}}- \{0,1,2,3,4\}\). The stability of this quartic functional equation is introduced in Banach space using direct and fixed point methods.
