1. Introduction and preliminaries A classical question in the theory of functional equations is the following: “When is it true that a function which approximately satisfies a functional equation must be close to an exact solution of the equation?” If the problem accepts a solution, we say that the equation is stable. The first stability problem concerning group homomorphisms was raised by Ulam [1] in 1940. In the next year, Hyers [2] gave a positive answer to the above question for additive groups under the assumption that the groups are Banach spaces. In 1978, Rassias [3] proved a generalization of the Hyers’ theorem for additive mappings. The result of Rassias has provided a lot of influence during the last three decades in the development of a generalization of the Hyers-Ulam stability concept. This new concept is known as generalized Hyers-Ulam stability or Hyers-UlamRassias stability of functional equations (see [4-8]). Furthermore, in 1994, a generalization of the Rassias’ theorem was obtained by Găvruta [9] by replacing the bound ε(|| x||p + ||y||p) by a general control function (x, y). The functional equation f (x + y) + f (x − y) = 2f (x) + 2f (y)

is called a quadratic functional equation. In particular, every solution of the quadratic functional equation is said to be a quadratic mapping. In 1983, a generalized Hyers-Ulam stability problem for the quadratic functional equation was proved by Skof [10] for mappings f : X ® Y, where X is a normed space and Y is a Banach space. In 1984, Cholewa [11] noticed that the theorem of Skof is still true if the relevant domain X is replaced by an Abelian group and, in 2002, Czerwik [12] proved the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the quadratic functional equation.

The stability problems of several functional equations have been extensively investigated by a number of authors, and there are many interesting results concerning this problem (see [13-32]). In
