This paper is concerned with the Hyers–Ulam stability of the first-order linear differential equation w the MathML source">x′−ax=0, where w the MathML source">a is a non-zero real number. The main purpose is to find an explicit solution w the MathML source">x(t) of w the MathML source">x′−ax=0 satisfying w the MathML source">|ϕ(t)−x(t)|≤ε/|a| for all w the MathML source">t∈R under the assumption that a differentiable function w the MathML source">ϕ(t) satisfies w the MathML source">|ϕ′(t)−aϕ(t)|≤ε for all w the MathML source">t∈R. In addition, the precise behavior of the solutions of w the MathML source">x′−ax=0 near the function w the MathML source">ϕ(t) is clarified on the semi-infinite interval. Finally, some applications to nonhomogeneous linear differential equations are included to illustrate the main result.
