Let A be a ternary Banach algebra with norm ||-||A and B be a ternary Banach algebra with norm ||-||B. A mapping D : A → B is called a ternary quadratic derivation if D be a quadratic function, D[x, y, z] = [D(x), y⊃2, z⊃] + [x⊃2, D(y), z⊃2] + [x⊃2, y⊃2, D(z)] for all x, y, z ∈ A. In this paper, we investigate ternary quadratic derivation on ternary Banach algebras, associated with the following functional equation f(x + y) + f(x - y) = 2f(x) + 2f(y). Moreover, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of ternary quadratic derivations on ternary Banach algebras. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
