Keywords: Hyers–Ulam stability Associated Laguerre differential equation
1. Introduction The question about the Hyers–Ulam stability of group homomorphisms was posed in 1940 by S.M. Ulam [24]. In 1941, D.H. Hyers [7] provided a solution of Ulam’s problem in the special case of approximately additive mappings on Banach spaces. Since then Ulam’s problem has inspired a large number of researchers to investigate this subject for a broad class of functional equations (cf. [5,8,14,21–23] and the references therein). Let X be a normed space over the field K = R or K = C and let I ⊂ R be an open interval. Let a0 , a1 , . . . , an : I → K and g : I → X be given continuous functions. If for any y : I → X satisfying the inequality an (x)y (n) (x) + an−1 (x)y (n−1) (x) + . . . + a1 (x)y (x) + a0 (x)y(x) + g(x) ε for all x ∈ I and for some ε > 0, there exists a function y0 : I → X such that * Corresponding author.

and y(x) − y0 (x) K(ε) for any x ∈ I where K(ε) is an expression of ε with limε→0 K(ε) = 0, then we say that the differential equation (1.1) has the Hyers–Ulam stability. Some of the first results of Hyers–Ulam stability of differential equations were obtained by Obloza [19,20] and Alsina and Ger [4]. Hyers–Ulam stability of differential equations of first order was investigated by S.-M. Jung [9–11]. Hyers– Ulam stability of differential equations of second and third order has been studied in the papers [1,3,2,6,18]. S.-M. Jung [15] solved the inhomogeneous differential equation of the form xy + (1 − x)y + ny =
∞
am x m ,
m=0
where n is a positive integer, and applied this result to obtain a partial solution to the Hyers–Ulam stability of the differential equation xy + (1 − x)y + ny = 0. In this paper, using the ideas of [12,13,16,17], we investigate the general solution of the inhomogeneous associated Laguerre differential equation

where λ > 0 and ν is a positive non-integer number and we intend to show that the associated Laguerre equation xy + (1 + ν − x)y + λy = 0 has the Hyers–Ulam stability in a subclass of analytic functions. 2.

∞ Corollary 2.3. Suppose that the power series m=0 am xm converges for all x ∈ (−ρ, ρ) with some positive ρ. ∞ m Let ρ1 = min{1, ρ}. Then the power series with cm ’s given in (2.5) is convergent for all m=1 cm x x ∈ (−ρ1 , ρ1 ). Also, for any positive ρ0 < ρ1 , it holds ∞ cm xm ≤ C,

3. Stability of associated Laguerre differential equation In this section, we show that the associated Laguerre differential equation (2.1) has the Hyers–Ulam stability in a subclass of analytic functions. Theorem 3.1. Let ρ, λ > 0 and ν be a positive non-integer number. Let y : (−ρ, ρ) → C be an analytic function which can be represented by a power-series expansion centered at x = 0. Suppose there exists a constant ε > 0 such that |xy + (1 + ν − x)y + λy| ≤ ε,
x ∈ (−ρ, ρ).
Also, suppose that
xy + (1 + ν − x)y + λy =

for some constant K. Let ρ1 = min{1, ρ}. Then there exists a solution of (2.1), z : (−ρ1 , ρ1 ) → C such that |y(x) − z(x)| ≤ Cε for all x ∈ [−ρ0 , ρ0 ], where ρ0 < ρ1 is any positive number and C is some constant which depends on ρ0 .

where ρ0 < 1 is any positive number and C is some constant. 2 We show that there exist functions which satisfy all assumptions of Theorem 3.1. Example 3.2. Let ε > 0, n ∈ N and 0
