1 Introduction and preliminaries
The abstract characterization given for linear spaces of bounded Hilbert space operators in terms of matricially normed spaces [1] implies that quotients, mapping spaces and various tensor products of operator spaces may again be regarded as operator spaces. Owing in part to this result, the theory of operator spaces is having an increasingly significant effect on operator algebra theory (see [2]).
The proof given in [1] appealed to the theory of ordered operator spaces [3]. Effros and Ruan [4] showed that one can give a purely metric proof of this important theorem by using the technique of Pisier [5] and Haagerup [6] (as modified in [7]).
The stability problem of functional equations originated from a question of Ulam [8] concerning the stability of group homomorphisms.
The functional equation
is called the Cauchy additive functional equation. In particular, every solution of the Cauchy additive functional equation is said to be an additive mapping. Hyers [9] gave the first affirmative partial answer to the question of Ulam for Banach spaces. Hyers’ theorem was generalized by Aoki [10] for additive mappings and by TM Rassias [11] for linear mappings by considering an unbounded Cauchy difference. A generalization of the TM Rassias theorem was obtained by Găvruta [12] by replacing the unbounded Cauchy difference by a general control function in the spirit of TM Rassias’ approach.
In 1990, TM Rassias [13] during the 27th International Symposium on Functional Equations asked the question whether such a theorem can also be proved for . In 1991, Gajda [14], following the same approach as in TM Rassias [11], gave an affirmative solution to this question for . It was shown by Gajda [14], as well as by TM Rassias and Šemrl [15], that one cannot prove a TM Rassias’ type theorem when (cf. the books of Czerwik [16], Hyers et al. [17]).
In 1982, JM Rassias [18] followed the innovative approach of the TM Rassias’ theorem [11] in which he replaced the factor by for with .
The functional equation
is called a quadratic functional equation. In particular, every solution of the quadratic functional equation is said to be a quadratic mapping. A Hyers-Ulam stability problem for the quadratic functional equation was proved by Skof [19] for mappings , where X is a normed space and Y is a Banach space. Cholewa [20] noticed that the theorem of Skof is still true if the relevant domain X is replaced by an Abelian group. Czerwik [21] proved the Hyers-Ulam stability of the quadratic functional equation.
In [22], Jun and Kim considered the following cubic functional equation:
It is easy to show that the function satisfies functional equation (1.1), which is called a cubic functional equation and every solution of the cubic functional equation is said to be a cubic mapping.
In [23], Lee et al. considered the following quartic functional equation:
It is easy to show that the function satisfies functional equation (1.2), which is called a quartic functional equation, and every solution of the quartic functional equation is said to be a quartic mapping. The stability problems of several functional equations have been extensively investigated by a number of authors and there are many interesting results concerning this problem (see [24–33]).

In 1996, Isac and Rassias [36] were the first to provide applications of stability theory of functional equations for the proof of new fixed point theorems with applications. By using fixed point methods, the stability problems of several functional equations have been extensively investigated by a number of authors (see [37–43]).
In this paper, we prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of the following additive-quadratic-cubic-quartic functional equation:

Throughout this paper, let be a matrix normed space and be a matrix Banach space.
