On the stability of the quadratic equation on groups

Abstract

In this paper the stability of the quadratic equation is considered on arbitrary groups. Since the quadratic equation is stable on Abelian groups, this paper examines the stability of the quadratic equation on noncommutative groups. It is shown that the quadratic equation is stable on $n$-Abelian groups when $n$ is a positive integer. The stability of the quadratic equation is also established on the noncommutative group $T(2, K)$, where $K$ is an arbitrary commutative field. It is proved that every group can be embedded into a group in which the quadratic equation is stable.
