Prioritization and selection of operating system by employing geometric aggregation operators based on Aczel-Alsina t-norm and t-conorm in the environment of bipolar complex fuzzy set

1.   Introduction

In 1940, Ulam ^[24] posed the stability problem concerning group homomorphisms. For Banach spaces, the problem was solved by Hyers ^[7] in the case of approximate additive mappings. And then Hyers' result was extended by Aoki ^[1] and Rassias ^[18] for additive mappings and linear mappings, respectively. In 1994, another further generalization, the so-called generalized Hyer-Ulam stability, was obtained by Gavruta ^[6]. Later, the stability of several functional equations has been extensively discussed by many mathematicians and there are many interesting results concerning this problem (see ^{[2,8,9,10,19,20]} and references therein); also, some stability results of different functional equations and inequalities were studied and generalized ^{[5,11,12,15,16,17,26]} in various matrix normed spaces like matrix fuzzy normed spaces, matrix paranormed spaces and matrix non-Archimedean random normed spaces.

In 2017, Wang and Xu ^[25] introduced the following functional equation

where $s$ is a parameter, $k > 1$ and $s\neq 1-2k$. It is easy to verify that $f(x) = ax+bx^{2}(x\in {\mathbb{R}})$ satisfies the functional Eq (1.1), where $a, b$ are arbitrary constants. They considered the general solution of the functional Eq (1.1), and then determined the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the functional Eq (1.1) in quasi-Banach spaces by applying the direct method.

The main purpose of this paper is to employ the direct and fixed point methods to establish the Hyers-Ulam stability of the functional Eq (1.1) in matrix intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces. The paper is organized as follows: In Sections $1$ and $2$, we present a brief introduction and introduce related basic definitions and preliminary results, respectively. In Section $3$, we prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of the functional Eq (1.1) in matrix intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces by applying the direct method. In Section $4$, we prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of the functional Eq (1.1) in matrix intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces by applying the fixed point method. Our results may be viewed as a continuation of the previous contribution of the authors in the setting of fuzzy stability (see ^[14,17]).

2.   Preliminaries

For the sake of completeness, in this section, we present some basic definitions and preliminary results, which will be useful to investigate the Hyers-Ulam stability results in matrix intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces. The notions of continuous $t$-norm and continuous $t$-conorm can be found in ^[14,22]. Using these, an intuitionistic fuzzy normed space (for short, IFNS) is defined as follows:

Definition 2.1. (^[14,21]) The five-tuple $(X, \mu, \nu, \ast, \diamond)$ is said to be an IFNS if $X$ is a vector space, $\ast$ is a continuous $t$-norm, $\diamond$ is a continuous $t$-conorm, and $\mu, \nu$ are fuzzy sets on $X \times (0, \infty)$ satisfy the following conditions. For every $x, y\in X$ and $s, t > 0$,

(i) $\mu(x, t)+\nu(x, t)\leq 1$;

(ii) $\mu(x, t) > 0$, (iii) $\mu(x, t) = 1$ if and only if $x = 0$;

(iii) $\mu(\alpha x, t) = \mu(x, \frac{t}{|\alpha|})$ for each $\alpha\neq 0$, (v) $\mu(x, t)\ast \mu(y, s)\leq \mu(x+y, t+s)$;

(iv) $\mu(x, \cdot): (0, \infty)\to [0, 1]$ is continuous;

(v) $\lim_{t\to \infty}\mu(x, t) = 1$ and $\lim_{t\to 0}\mu(x, t) = 0$;

(vi) $\nu(x, t) < 1$, (ix) $\nu(x, t) = 0$ if and only if $x = 0$;

(vii) $\nu(\alpha x, t) = \nu(x, \frac{t}{|\alpha|})$ for each $\alpha\neq 0$, (xi) $\nu(x, t)\diamond \; \nu(y, s)\geq \nu(x+y, t+s)$;

(xiii) $\nu(x, \cdot): (0, \infty)\to [0, 1]$ is continuous;

(ix) $\lim_{t\to \infty}\nu(x, t) = 0$ and $\lim_{t\to 0}\nu(x, t) = 1$.

In this case, $(\mu, \nu)$ is called an intuitionistic fuzzy norm.

The following concepts of convergence and Cauchy sequences are considered in ^[14,21]:

Let $(X, \mu, \nu, \ast, \diamond)$ be an IFNS. Then, a sequence $\{x_{k}\}$ is said to be intuitionistic fuzzy convergent to $x\in X$ if for every $\varepsilon > 0$ and $t > 0$, there exists $k_{0}\in \mathbb{N}$ such that

and

for all $k\geq k_{0}$. In this case we write

The sequence $\{x_{k}\}$ is said to be an intuitionistic fuzzy Cauchy sequence if for every $\varepsilon > 0$ and $t > 0$, there exists $k_{0}\in \mathbb{N}$ such that

and

for all $k, \ell\geq k_{0}$. $(X, \mu, \nu, \ast, \diamond)$ is said to be complete if every intuitionistic fuzzy Cauchy sequence in $(X, \mu, \nu, \ast, \diamond)$ is intuitionistic fuzzy convergent in $(X, \mu, \nu, \ast, \diamond)$.

Following ^[11,12], we will also use the following notations: The set of all $m\times n$-matrices in $X$ will be denoted by $M_{m, n}(X)$. When $m = n$, the matrix $M_{m, n}(X)$ will be written as $M_{n}(X)$. The symbols $e_{j}\in M_{1, n}({\mathbb{C}})$ will denote the row vector whose $j$th component is $1$ and the other components are $0$. Similarly, $E_{ij}\in M_{n}({\mathbb{C}})$ will denote the $n \times n$ matrix whose $(i, j)$-component is $1$ and the other components are $0$. The $n \times n$ matrix whose $(i, j)$-component is $x$ and the other components are $0$ will be denoted by $E_{ij}\otimes x \in M_{n}(X)$.

Let $(X, \|\cdot\|)$ be a normed space. Note that $(X, \{\|\cdot\|_{n}\})$ is a matrix normed space if and only if $(M_{n}(X), \|\cdot\|_{n})$ is a normed space for each positive integer $n$ and

holds for $A\in M_{k, n}$, $x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and $B\in M_{n, k}$, and that $(X, \{\|\cdot\|_{n}\})$ is a matrix Banach space if and only if $X$ is a Banach space and $(X, \{\|\cdot\|_{n}\})$ is a matrix normed space.

Following ^[23], we introduce the concept of a matrix intuitionistic fuzzy normed space as follows:

Definition 2.2. (^[23]) Let $(X, \mu, \nu, \ast, \diamond)$ be an intuitionistic fuzzy normed space, and the symbol $\theta$ for a rectangular matrix of zero elements over $X$. Then:

(1) $(X, \{\mu_{n}\}, \{\nu_{n}\}, \ast, \diamond)$ is called a matrix intuitionistic fuzzy normed space (briefly, MIFNS) if for each positive integer $n$, $(M_{n}(X), \mu_{n}, \nu_{n}, \ast, \diamond)$ is an intuitionistic fuzzy normed space, $\mu_{n}$ and $\nu_{n}$ satisfy the following conditions:

(i) $\mu_{n+m}(\theta+x, t) = \mu_{n}(x, t), \nu_{n+m}(\theta+x, t) = \nu_{n}(x, t)$ for all $t > 0$, $x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$, $\theta\in M_{n}(X)$;

(ii) $\mu_{k}(AxB, t)\geq \mu_{n}(x, \frac{t}{\|A\|\cdot\|B\|})$, $\nu_{k}(AxB, t)\leq \nu_{n}(x, \frac{t}{\|A\|\cdot\|B\|})$ for all $t > 0$, $A\in M_{k, n}({\mathbb{R}})$, $x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and $B\in M_{n, k}({\mathbb{R}})$ with $\|A\|\cdot\|B\|\neq 0$.

(2) $(X, \{\mu_{n}\}, \{\nu_{n}\}, \ast, \diamond)$ is called a matrix intuitionistic fuzzy Banach space if $(X, \mu, \nu, \ast, \diamond)$ is an intuitionistic fuzzy Banach space and $(X, \{\mu_{n}\}, \{\nu_{n}\}, \ast, \diamond)$ is a matrix intuitionistic fuzzy normed space.

The following Lemma 2.3 was found in ^[23].

Lemma 2.3. (^[23]) Let $(X, \{\mu_{n}\}, \{\nu_{n}\}, \ast, \diamond)$ be a matrix intuitionistic fuzzy normed space. Then,

(1) $\mu_{n}({E_{kl}\otimes x}, t) = \mu(x, t)$, $\nu_{n}({E_{kl}\otimes x}, t) = \nu(x, t)$ for all $t > 0$ and $x\in X$.

(2) For all $[x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and $t = \sum\limits^{n}_{i, j = 1}t_{ij} > 0$,

and

(3) $\lim\limits_{m\to\infty}x_{m} = x$ if and only if $\lim\limits_{m\to\infty}x_{ijm} = x_{ij}$ for $x_{m} = [x_{ijm}], x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$.

For explicit later use, we also recall the following Lemma 2.4 is due to Diaz and Margolis ^[4], which will play an important role in proving our stability results in this paper.

Lemma 2.4. (The fixed point alternative theorem ^[4]) Let $(E, d)$ be a complete generalized metric space and $J$: $E\to E$ be a strictly contractive mapping with Lipschitz constant $L < 1$. Then for each fixed element $x\in E$, either

or

for some natural number $n_{0}$. Moreover, if the second alternative holds then:

$(i)$ The sequence $\{J^{n}x\}$ is convergent to a fixed point $y^{*}$ of $J$.

$(ii) \; y^{*}$ is the unique fixed point of $J$ in the set $E^{\ast}: = \{y\in E\mid d(J^{n_{0}}x, y) < +\infty\}$ and $d(y, y^{*})\leq \frac{1}{1-L}d(y, Jy), \; \; \forall x, y \in E^{\ast}$.

3.   Stability of the functional Eq (1.1): direct method

From now on, let $(X, \{\mu_{n}\}, \{\nu_{n}\}, \ast, \diamond)$ be a matrix intuitionistic fuzzy normed space and $(Y, \{\mu_{n}\}, \{\nu_{n}\}, \ast, \diamond)$ be a matrix intuitionistic fuzzy Banach space. In this section, we will prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of the functional Eq (1.1) in matrix intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces by using the direct method. For the sake of convenience, given mapping $f$: $X\to Y$, we define the difference operators $Df$: $X^{2}\to Y$ and $Df_{n}$: $M_{n}(X^{2})\to M_{n}(Y)$ of the functional Eq (1.1) by

for all $a, b\in X$ and all $x = [x_{ij}], y = [y_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$.

We start with the following lemmas which will be used in this paper.

Lemma 3.1. (^[25]) Let $V$ and $W$ be real vector spaces. If an odd mapping $f$: $V\to W$ satisfies the functional Eq (1.1), then $f$ is additive.

Lemma 3.2. (^[25]) Let $V$ and $W$ be real vector spaces. If an even mapping $f$: $V\to W$ satisfies the functional Eq (1.1), then $f$ is quadratic.

Theorem 3.3. Let $\varphi_{o}$: $X^{2}\to [0, \infty)$ be a function such that for some real number $\alpha$ with $0 < \alpha < k$,

for all $a, b\in X$. Suppose that an odd mapping $f$: $X\to Y$ satisfies the inequality

for all $x = [x_{ij}], y = [y_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$. Then there exists a unique additive mapping $A$: $X\to Y$ such that

for all $x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$.

Proof. When $n = 1$, (3.2) is equivalent to

for all $a, b\in X$ and all $t > 0$. Putting $a = 0$ in (3.4), we have

for all $b\in X$ and all $t > 0$. Replacing $a$ by $k^{p}a$ in (3.5) and using (3.1), we get

for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$. It follows from (3.6) that

for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$. It follows from

and (3.7) that

for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$, where

By replacing $a$ with $k^{q}a$ in (3.8), we have

for all $a\in X$, $t > 0$, $p > 0$ and $q > 0$. Thus

for all $a\in X$, $t > 0$, $p > 0$ and $q > 0$. Hence

for all $a\in X$, $t > 0$, $p > 0$ and $q > 0$. Since $0 < \alpha < k$ and

the Cauchy criterion for convergence in IFNS shows that $\{\frac{f(k^{p}a)}{k^{p}}\}$ is a Cauchy sequence in $(Y, \mu, \nu, \ast, \diamond)$. Since $(Y, \mu, \nu, \ast, \diamond)$ is an intuitionistic fuzzy Banach space, this sequence converges to some point $A(a)\in Y$. So one can define the mapping $A$: $X\to Y$ such that

Moreover, if we put $q = 0$ in (3.11), we get

for all $a\in X$, $t > 0$ and $p > 0$. Thus, we obtain

for every $a\in X$, $t > 0$ and large $p$. Taking the limit as $p\to\infty$ and using the definition of IFNS, we get

Replacing $a$ and $b$ by $k^{p}a$ and $k^{p}b$ in (3.4), respectively, and using (3.1), we obtain

for all $a, b\in X$ and all $t > 0$. Letting $p\to \infty$ in (3.15), we obtain

for all $a, b\in X$ and all $t > 0$. This means that $A$ satisfies the functional Eq (1.1). Since $f$: $X\to Y$ is an odd mapping, and using the definition $A$, we have $A(-a) = -A(a)$ for all $a\in X$. Thus by Lemma 3.1, the mapping $A$: $X\to Y$ is additive. To prove the uniqueness of $A$, let $A^{\prime}$: $X\to Y$ be another additive mapping satisfying (3.14). Let $n = 1$. Then we have

for all $a\in X$, $t > 0$ and $p > 0$. Letting $p\to \infty$ in (3.17), we get

for all $a\in X$ and $t > 0$. Hence we get $A(a) = A^{\prime}(a)$ for all $a\in X$. Thus the mapping $A$: $X\to Y$ is a unique additive mapping.

By Lemma 2.3 and (3.14), we get

for all $x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$. Thus $A$: $X\to Y$ is a unique additive mapping satisfying (3.3), as desired. This completes the proof of the theorem. □

Theorem 3.4. Let $\varphi_{e}$: $X^{2}\to [0, \infty)$ be a function such that for some real number $\alpha$ with $0 < \alpha < k^{2}$,

for all $a, b\in X$. Suppose that an even mapping $f$: $X\to Y$ with $f(0) = 0$ satisfies the inequality

for all $x = [x_{ij}], \ y = [y_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$. Then there exists a unique quadratic mapping $Q$: $X\to Y$ such that

for all $x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$.

Proof. When $n = 1$, (3.19) is equivalent to

for all $a, b\in X$ and all $t > 0$. Letting $a = 0$ in (3.21), we obtain

for all $b\in X$ and all $t > 0$. Replacing $a$ by $k^{p}a$ in (3.22) and using (3.18), we get

for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$. It follows from (3.23) that

for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$. It follows from

and (3.24) that

for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$, where

By replacing $a$ with $k^{q}a$ in (3.25), we have

for all $a\in X$, $t > 0$, $p > 0$ and $q > 0$. Thus

for all $a\in X$, $t > 0$, $p > 0$ and $q > 0$. Hence

for all $a\in X$, $t > 0$, $p > 0$ and $q > 0$. Since $0 < \alpha < k^{2}$ and

the Cauchy criterion for convergence in IFNS shows that $\{\frac{f(k^{p}a)}{k^{2p}}\}$ is a Cauchy sequence in $(Y, \mu, \nu, \ast, \diamond)$. Since $(Y, \mu, \nu, \ast, \diamond)$ is an intuitionistic fuzzy Banach space, this sequence converges to some point $Q(a)\in Y$. So one can define the mapping $Q$: $X\to Y$ such that

Moreover, if we put $q = 0$ in (3.28), we get

for all $a\in X$, $t > 0$ and $p > 0$. Thus, we obtain

for every $a\in X$, $t > 0$ and large $p$. Taking the limit as $p\to\infty$ and using the definition of IFNS, we get

Replacing $a$ and $b$ by $k^{p}a$ and $k^{p}b$ in (3.21), respectively, and using (3.18), we obtain

for all $a, b\in X$ and all $t > 0$. Letting $p\to \infty$ in (3.32), we obtain

for all $a, b\in X$ and all $t > 0$. This means that $Q$ satisfies the functional Eq (1.1). Since $f$: $X\to Y$ is an even mapping, and using the definition $Q$, we have $Q(-a) = -Q(a)$ for all $a\in X$. Thus by Lemma 3.2, the mapping $Q$: $X\to Y$ is quadratic. To prove the uniqueness of $Q$, let $Q^{\prime}$: $X\to Y$ be another quadratic mapping satisfying (3.31). Let $n = 1$. Then we have

for all $a\in X$, $t > 0$ and $p > 0$. Letting $p\to \infty$ in (3.34), we get

for all $a\in X$ and $t > 0$. Hence we get $Q(a) = Q^{\prime}(a)$ for all $a\in X$. Thus the mapping $Q$: $X\to Y$ is a unique quadratic mapping.

By Lemma 2.3 and (3.31), we get

for all $x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$. Thus $Q$: $X\to Y$ is a unique quadratic mapping satisfying (3.20), as desired. This completes the proof of the theorem.□

Theorem 3.5. Let $\varphi$: $X^{2}\to [0, \infty)$ be a function such that for some real number $\alpha$ with $0 < \alpha < k$,

for all $a, b\in X$. Suppose that a mapping $f$: $X\to Y$ with $f(0) = 0$ satisfies the inequality

for all $x = [x_{ij}], y = [y_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$. Then there exist a unique quadratic mapping $Q$: $X\to Y$ and a unique additive mapping $A$: $X\to Y$ such that

for all $x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$, $\widetilde{\varphi}(a, b) = \varphi(a, b)+\varphi(-a, -b)$ for all $a, b\in X$.

Proof. When $n = 1$, (3.36) is equivalent to

for all $a, b\in X$ and all $t > 0$. Let

for all all $a\in X$. Then $f_{e}(0) = 0, f_{e}(-a) = f_{e}(a)$. And we have

for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$. Let

for all all $a\in X$. Then $f_{0}(0) = 0, f_{o}(-a) = -f_{o}(a)$. And we obtain

for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$. It follows that the definition of $\widetilde{\varphi}$ that $\widetilde{\varphi}(ka, kb) = \alpha\widetilde{\varphi}(a, b)$ for all $a, b\in X$. It is easy to check that the condition of Theorems 3.3 and 3.4 are satisfying. Then applying the proofs of Theorems 3.3 and 3.4, we know that there exists a unique quadratic mapping $Q$: $X\to Y$ and a unique additive mapping $A$: $X\to Y$ satisfying

and

for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$. Therefore

By Lemma 2.3 and (3.43), we have

for all $x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$. Thus $Q$: $X\to Y$ is a unique quadratic mapping and a unique additive mapping $A$: $X\to Y$ satisfying (3.37), as desired. This completes the proof of the theorem.□

Corollary 3.6. Let $r, \theta$ be positive real numbers with $r < 1$. Suppose that a mapping $f$: $X\to Y$ with $f(0) = 0$ satisfies the inequality

for all $x = [x_{ij}], y = [y_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$. Then there exist a unique quadratic mapping $Q$: $X\to Y$ and a unique additive mapping $A$: $X\to Y$ such that

for all $x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$.

Proof. The proof follows from Theorem 3.5 by taking $\varphi(a, b) = \theta(\|a\|^{r}+\|b\|^{r})$ for all $a, b\in X$, we obtain the desired result.□

4.   Stability of the functional Eq (1.1): fixed point method

In this section, we will prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of the functional Eq (1.1) in matrix intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces by applying the fixed point method.

Theorem 4.1. Let $\varphi_{o}$: $X^{2}\to [0, \infty)$ be a function such that for some real number $\rho$ with $0 < \rho < 1$ and

for all $a, b\in X$. Suppose that an odd mapping $f$: $X\to Y$ satisfies the inequality

for all $x = [x_{ij}], y = [y_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$. Then there exists a unique additive mapping $A$: $X\to Y$ such that

for all $x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$.

Proof. When $n = 1$, similar to the proof of Theorem 3.3, we have

for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$.

Let $S_{1} = \left\{g_{1}:X\to Y\right\}$, and introduce a generalized metric $d_{1}$ on $S_{1}$ as follows:

It is easy to prove that $(S_{1}, d_{1})$ is a complete generalized metric space (^[3,13]). Now, we define the mapping ${\mathcal {J}}_{1}$: $S_{1}\to S_{1}$ by

Let $g_{1}, h_{1}\in S_{1}$ and let $\lambda\in {\mathbb{R_{+}}}$ be an arbitrary constant with $d_{1}(g_{1}, h_{1})\leq \lambda$. From the definition of $d_{1}$, we get

for all $a\in X$ and $t > 0$. Therefore, using (4.1), we get

for some $\rho < 1$, all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$. Hence, it holds that $d_{1}({\mathcal {J}}_{1}g_{1}, {\mathcal {J}}_{1}h_{1})\leq \lambda \rho$, that is, $d_{1}({\mathcal {J}}_{1}g_{1}, {\mathcal {J}}_{1}h_{1})\leq \rho d_{1}(g_{1}, h_{1})$ for all $g_{1}, h_{1}\in S_{1}$.

Furthermore, by (4.1) and (4.4), we obtain the inequality

It follows from Lemma 2.4 that the sequence ${\mathcal {J}}^{p}_{1}f$ converges to a fixed point $A$ of ${\mathcal {J}}_{1}$, that is, for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$,

and

Meanwhile, $A$ is the unique fixed point of ${\mathcal {J}}_{1}$ in the set

Thus, there exists a $\lambda\in \mathfrak{}{\mathbb{R_{+}}}$ such that

for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$. Also,

This means that the following inequality

holds for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$. It follows from (3.4) and (4.1) that

for all $a, b\in X$ and all $t > 0$. Letting $p\to \infty$ in (4.10), we obtain

for all $a, b\in X$ and all $t > 0$. This means that $A$ satisfies the functional Eq (1.1). Since $f$: $X\to Y$ is an odd mapping, and using the definition $A$, we have $A(-a) = -A(a)$ for all $a\in X$. Thus by Lemma 3.1, the mapping $A$: $X\to Y$ is additive.

By Lemma 2.3 and (4.9), we get

for all $x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$. Thus $A$: $X\to Y$ is a unique additive mapping satisfying (4.3), as desired. This completes the proof of the theorem.□

Theorem 4.2. Let $\varphi_{e}$: $X^{2}\to [0, \infty)$ be a function such that for some real number $\rho$ with $0 < \rho < 1$ and

for all $a, b\in X$. Suppose that an even mapping $f$: $X\to Y$ satisfies the inequality

for all $x = [x_{ij}], y = [y_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$. Then there exists a unique quadratic mapping $Q$: $X\to Y$ such that

for all $x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$.

Proof. When $n = 1$, similar to the proof of Theorem 3.4, we obtain

for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$.

Let $S_{2}: = \left\{g_{2}:X\to Y\right\}$, and introduce a generalized metric $d_{2}$ on $S_{2}$ as follows:

It is easy to prove that $(S_{2}, d_{2})$ is a complete generalized metric space (^[3,13]). Now, we define the mapping ${\mathcal {J}}_{2}$: $S_{2}\to S_{2}$ by

Let $g_{2}, h_{2}\in S_{2}$ and let $\lambda\in {\mathbb{R_{+}}}$ be an arbitrary constant with $d_{2}(g_{2}, h_{2})\leq \lambda$. From the definition of $d_{2}$, we get

for all $a\in X$ and $t > 0$. Therefore, using (4.12), we get

for some $\rho < 1$, all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$. Hence, it holds that $d_{2}({\mathcal {J}}_{2}g_{2}, {\mathcal {J}}_{2}h_{2})\leq \lambda \rho$, that is, $d_{2}({\mathcal {J}}_{2}g_{2}, {\mathcal {J}}_{2}h_{2})\leq \rho d_{2}(g_{2}, h_{2})$ for all $g_{2}, h_{2}\in S_{2}$.

Furthermore, by (4.12) and (4.15), we obtain the inequality

It follows from Lemma 2.4 that the sequence ${\mathcal {J}}^{p}_{2}f$ converges to a fixed point $Q$ of ${\mathcal {J}}_{2}$, that is, for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$,

and

Meanwhile, $Q$ is the unique fixed point of ${\mathcal {J}}_{2}$ in the set

Thus there exists a $\lambda\in \mathfrak{}{\mathbb{R_{+}}}$ such that

for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$. Also,

This means that the following inequality

holds for all $a\in X$ and all $t > 0$. The rest of the proof is similar to the proof of Theorem 4.1. This completes the proof of the theorem.□

Theorem 4.3. Let $\varphi$: $X^{2}\to [0, \infty)$ be a function such that for some real number $\rho$ with $0 < \rho < k$,

for all $a, b\in X$. Suppose that a mapping $f$: $X\to Y$ with $f(0) = 0$ satisfies the inequality

for all $x = [x_{ij}], y = [y_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$. Then there exist a unique quadratic mapping $Q$: $X\to Y$ and a unique additive mapping $A$: $X\to Y$ such that

for all $x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$, $\widetilde{\varphi}(a, b) = \varphi(a, b)+\varphi(-a, -b)$ for all $a, b\in X$.

Proof. The proof follows from Theorems 4.1 and 4.2, and a method similar to Theorem 3.5. This completes the proof of the theorem.□

Corollary 4.4. Let $r, \theta$ be positive real numbers with $r > 2$. Suppose that a mapping $f$: $X\to Y$ with $f(0) = 0$ satisfies the inequality

for all $x = [x_{ij}], y = [y_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$. Then there exist a unique quadratic mapping $Q$: $X\to Y$ and a unique additive mapping $A$: $X\to Y$ such that

for all $x = [x_{ij}]\in M_{n}(X)$ and all $t > 0$.

Proof. Taking $\varphi(a, b) = \theta(\|a\|^{r}+\|b\|^{r})$ for all $a, b\in X$ and $\rho = k^{2-r}$ in Theorem 4.3, we get the desired result. □

5.   Conclusions

We use the direct and fixed point methods to investigate the Hyers-Ulam stability of the functional Eq (1.1) in the framework of matrix intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces. We therefore provide a link two various discipline: matrix intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces and functional equations. We generalized the Hyers-Ulam stability results of the functional Eq (1.1) from quasi-Banach spaces to matrix intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces. These circumstances can be applied to other significant functional equations.
