The Hyers–Ulam stability of a first-order nonlinear differential equation based on a generalized Richards growth model (also known as a Savageau growth model) is conditionally established based on the maximum size of the perturbation being not too large and the initial condition being not too small in terms of the carrying capacity and the powers involved. The Hyers–Ulam stability constants are determined explicitly and are shown to depend on the relative sizes of the power parameters in the model. Examples are provided of both stability and instability to illustrate the sharpness of our results. The main result is then applied to a tissue growth model. These results generalize known stability properties of the logistic equation and contribute to the theory of functional stability in nonlinear differential equations, with implications for population and biological models and related applications.
