Abstract

In this paper, we consider the following affine functional equation

$$\displaystyle{f(3x+y+z)+f(x+3y+z)+f(x+y+3z)+f(x)+f(y)+f(z) = 6f(x+y+z).}$$

We obtain the general solution and establish some stability results by using direct method as well as the fixed point method. Further we define the stability of the above functional equation by using the fixed point alternative.
