We obtain the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the Cauchy-Jensen functional equation 2fx  y, z  w/2  fx, z  fx, w  fy, z  fy, w.

1. Introduction In 1940, Ulam proposed the general Ulam stability problem see 1. Let G1 be a group and let G2 be a metric group with the metric d·, ·. Given ε > 0, does there exist a δ > 0 such that if a mapping h : G1 → G2 satisfies the inequality dhxy, hxhy < δ for all x, y ∈ G1 then there is a homomorphism H : G1 → G2 with dhx, Hx < ε for all x ∈ G1 ? In 1941, this problem was solved by Hyers 2 in the case of Banach space. Thereafter, we call that type the Hyers-Ulam stability. Throughout this paper, let X and Y be vector spaces. A mapping g : X → Y is called an additive mapping respectively, an affine mapping if g satisfies the Cauchy functional equation gxy  gxgy respectively, the Jensen functional equation 2gxy/2  gxgy. Aoki 3 and Rassias 4, 5 extended the Hyers-Ulam stability by considering variables for Cauchy equation. Using the method introduced in 3, Jung 6 obtained a result for Jensen equation. It also has been generalized to the function case by G˘avruta 7 and Jung 8 for Cauchy equation, and by Lee and Jun 9 for Jensen equation. Definition 1.1. A mapping f : X × X → Y is called a Cauchy-Jensen mapping if f satisfies the system of equations

When X  Y  R, the function f : R × R → R given by fx, y : axy  bx is a solution of 1.1. In particular, letting x  y, we get a function g : R → R given by gx : fx, x  ax2  bx. For a mapping f : X × X → Y , consider the functional equation      z  w 2f x  y,  fx, z  fx, w  f y, z  f y, w . 2

Definition 1.2 see 10, 11. Let X be a real linear space. A quasi-norm is real-valued function on X satisfying the following. i x ≥ 0 for all x ∈ X and x  0 if and only if x  0. ii λx  |λ|x for all λ ∈ R and all x ∈ X. iii There is a constant K ≥ 1 such that x  y ≤ Kx  y for all x, y ∈ X. The pair X, · is called a quasi-normed space if · is a quasi-norm on X. The smallest possible K is called the modulus of concavit
