Abstract
Applications involving functional equations (FUEQs) are commonplace. They are essential to various applications, such as fog computing. Ulam’s notion of stability is highly helpful since it provides a range of estimates between exact and approximate solutions. Using Brzdȩk’s fixed point technique (FPT), we establish the stability of the following cubic type functional equations (CFUEQs): for all .

1. Introduction
Functional equations (FUEQs) are widely used in a variety of fascinating contexts; see, e.g., [1,2,3]. Their applicability and inherent mathematical elegance make the theory of FUEQs attractive. FUEQs are crucial in a wide range of applications, providing an effective means of refining the models used to analyze different phenomena.
The concept of stability was introduced by Ulam [4], followed by Hyers [5,6], and it has been widely studied in mathematics and FUEQs. There is some connection between it and the topics covered in other branches of mathematics, such as shadowing (see [7]), approximation theory, and optimization. It concerns various equations (functional, differential, integral, difference, etc.), in order to determine how much an equation’s approximate answer and its exact solution vary from one another. This topic has inspired many papers, and we refer the reader to [6,8,9,10,11] for further information on this subject.
In addition, many researchers have studied the stabilities of Drygas [12,13], the Pexiderized additive-quadratic equation (see [14]), the Frechet FUEQ [15], radical FUEQs [16,17,18], the quadratic FUEQ [19,20,21], and systems of FUEQs [22,23].
Many investigations on stability have been conducted in recent years, using various techniques to generate results that have been used for various functional inequalities, FUEQs, derivations, antiderivatives, and homomorphisms (see [24,25,26,27,28]).
In this work, applying the Brzdȩk FPT, we determine the stability results of the quadratic CFUEQ
and the Jensen CFUEQ
for all .
For example, the function given by is a solution of (1), and is a solution of (2), where c is a constant.
In 2011, Brzdȩk et al. [29] gave a simple FPT. Before presenting the Brzdȩk FPT, let us introduce some hypotheses, which we use in this work.
H1.
A is a nonempty set, and E is a Banach space.
H2.

Theorem 1
([29]). Suppose that (H1)–(H4) are satisfied. Assume that there are functions and : , such that

2. Preliminaries
We use this section to recall some interesting stability results of the CFUEQs. The following FE is considered the oldest CFUEQ, introduced by Rassias (see [30]),
In [31], the authors investigated the general solution and the generalized Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability for the following CFUEQ:
We highlight the papers [30,32] concerning the stability of the CFUEQ.
In this work, suppose that E is a Banach space, and .
3. Stability of (1)
Applying the Brzdȩk FPT, we determine the stability of (1).
Theorem 2.

Similar to the previous case, it can be easily shown that satisfies FE (1).
Finally, we prove, only for case , that is unique. The proof of the case is similar to the proof of the case .

In the following example, we prove that, for , the quadratic CFUEQ is not stable.
Example 1.

5. Conclusions
We employed a well-known FPT to study the Ulam stability of some classes of symmetric CFUEQ. Stability helped us to obtain estimates between the exact and approximate solutions in many cases. One can find such results for a more generalized version of the FUEQ. Future directions will involve studying the Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability of much more complicated FUEQs or in some new function spaces.
