The theory of isometries in the framework of Banach spaces has its beginning in a paper by Stanisław Mazur and Stanisław M. Ulam in 1932.[1] They proved the Mazur–Ulam theorem stating that every isometry of a normed real linear space onto a normed real linear space is a linear mapping up to translation. In 1970, Aleksandr Danilovich Aleksandrov asked whether the existence of a single conservative distance for a mapping implies that it is an isometry. Themistocles M. Rassias posed the following problem:

Aleksandrov–Rassias Problem. If X and Y are normed linear spaces and if T : XY is a continuous and/or surjective mapping such that whenever vectors x and y in X satisfy , then (the distance one preserving property or DOPP), is T then necessarily an isometry?[2]

There have been several attempts in the mathematical literature by a number of researchers for the solution to this problem.
