Using the fixed-point method we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of a generalized Apollonius type quadratic functional equation in random Banach spaces. 1. Introduction The stability problem of functional equations was originated from a question of Ulam 1 concerning the stability of group homomorphisms. Hyers 2 gave a first affirmative partial answer to the question of Ulam for Banach spaces. Hyers theorem was generalized by Aoki 3 for additive mappings and by Th. M. Rassias 4 for linear mappings by considering an unbounded Cauchy difference. The paper of Th. M. Rassias 4 has provided a lot of influence in the development of what we call generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of functional equations. A generalization of the Th. M. Rassias theorem was obtained by Gavruta 5 by replacing the unbounded Cauchy difference by a general control function in the spirit of the Th. M. Rassias approach. On the other hand in 1982-1998 J. M. Rassias generalized the Hyers stability result by presenting a weaker condition controlled by a product of .
