Let X be a normed space, Y be a Banach space and f , g : X → Y. In this paper, we investigate the Hyers-Ulam stability theorem for the generalized quadratic functional equation f (kx + y) + f (kx − y) = 2k 2 g(x) + 2 f (y) in a set ⊂ X × X , where k is a positive integer. By the Baire category theorem, we derive some consequences of our main result.
