Abstract

The linear differential operator with constant coefficients D(y)=y(n)+a1y(n1)++any,yCn(R,X)D(y)=y^{(n)}+a_1 y^{(n-1)}+\ldots+a_n y,\quad y\in \mathcal{C}^{n}(\mathbb{R}, X) acting in a Banach space XX is Ulam stable if and only if its characteristic equation has no roots on the imaginary axis. We prove that if the characteristic equation of DD has distinct roots rkr_k satisfying \Realrk>0,\Real r_k>0, 1kn,1\leq k\le n, then the best Ulam constant of DD is KD=1V0k=1n(1)kVkerkxdx,K_D=\frac{1}{|V|}\int_{0}^{\infty}\left|\sum\limits_{k=1}^n(-1)^kV_ke^{-r_k x}\right|dx, where V=V(r1,r2,,rn)V=V(r_1,r_2,\ldots,r_n) and Vk=V(r1,,rk1,rk+1,,rn),V_k=V(r_1,\ldots,r_{k-1},r_{k+1}, \ldots, r_n), 1kn,1\leq k\leq n, are Vandermonde determinants.
