In particular, using Banach's contraction mapping theorem, they prove the following result: If $ |\alpha | > n$, $|\beta | < |\alpha|-1$ and $y \in [-1, 1]$ satisfies the inequality $$|y^n + \alpha y + \beta | \leq \varepsilon $$ for some $\epsilon > 0$ and for all $y \in [-1, 1]$, then there exists a solution $v \in [-1, 1]$ of $x^n + \alpha x +\beta = 0$ such that $$|y-v| \leq k \varepsilon, $$ where $k$ is a positive constant.}", reviewer="{Prasanna Sahoo (Louisville)}", keywords="{Hyers-Ulam stability; polynomial equation}", classmath="{*39B82 (Stability, separation, extension, and related topics) 39B22 (Functional equations for real functions) }", }
