Modular Space Stability for Cubic Functional Equations in Nonlinear Material Modeling
Resumo
This paper investigates the stability of a generalized cubic functional equation of the form
\begin{align*}
(m-n)\Big[(m+n)^3 f\Big(\tfrac{nu + mv}{\,n+m\,}\Big) + (n-m)^3 f\Big(\tfrac{nu - mv}{\,n-m\,}\Big)\Big]\\
+(m+n)\Big[(m+n)^3 f\Big(\tfrac{mu + nv}{\,m+n\,}\Big) + (m-n)^3 f\Big(\tfrac{mu - nv}{\,m-n\,}\Big)\Big]\\
=~mn(m^2+n^2)\big[f(u+v)+f(u-v)\big] + 2\,(m^4-n^4)f(u),
\end{align*}
within the setting of modular normed spaces. Using the direct method of Hyers--Ulam and a suitably defined control function, we establish explicit stability bounds for approximately cubic mappings. In addition, by employing an operator constructed in the modular space without $\Delta_2$-conditions and applying the fixed point alternative, we obtain existence, uniqueness, and generalized Hyers--Ulam stability of the exact cubic solution.
An application to nonlinear constitutive modeling in continuum mechanics is presented to illustrate the physical relevance of the cubic equation. The cubic stress--strain relation, widely used in modeling polymers, biological tissues, and metals under finite deformation, fits naturally into the functional framework developed in this study. The stability results guarantee that experimentally observed or numerically computed approximate constitutive laws admit a unique exact cubic model in their vicinity, enhancing robustness in material characterization and computational simulations. The findings demonstrate both the theoretical depth and practical significance of stability analysis for higher-order functional equations in modern applied mathematics.
