(Right)Partial Generalized Automorphisms of Semiprime Rings

In this paper, we define the concept of (right) partial generalized automorphisms and discuss the extension problem, and also give a characterization of (right) partial generalized automorphisms of semiprime rings. Finally, we study the centralizing problem of right partial generalized automorphisms.

Generalized Derivations with Nilpotent Values on Semiprime Rings

Let R be a semiprime ring, R F be its left Martindale quotient ring and I be an essential ideal of R. Then every generalized derivation μ defined on I can be uniquely extended to a generalized derivation of R F . Furthermore, if there exists a fixed positive integer n such that μ(x) n = 0 for all x ∈I, then μ = 0.

Derivations on Semiprime Rings

Let R be a semiprime ring with the center Z(R), d and g be derivations of R, L be a nonzero left ideal of R and rR(L) = 0. Suppose that d(x)x - xg(x) ∈ Z(R) for all x ∈ L, then d(R) Z(R) and the ideal of R generated by d(R) is in the center of R.

On Certain Functional Equation in Semiprime Rings

Let n be a fixed integer, let R be an （n ＋ 1）!-torsion free semiprime ring with the identity element and let F ： R → R be an additive mapping satisfying the relation F（xn＋2） ∑＋n＋i=1xi-1F（x）2xn＋1-i -∑xnF（x）xn＋1-i for all x 6 R. In this case, we prove that F is of the form 2F（x） = D（x） ＋ ax ＋ xa for all x ∈ R, where D ： R → R is a derivation and a 6 R is some fixed element.

Nilpotent Elements and Nil-Reflexive Property of Generalized Power Series Rings

Let R be a ring and (S,≤) a strictly ordered monoid. In this paper, we deal with a new approach to reflexive property for rings by using nilpotent elements, in this direction we introduce the notions of generalized power series reflexive and nil generalized power series reflexive, respectively. We obtain various necessary or sufficient conditions for a ring to be generalized power series reflexive and nil generalized power series reflexive. Examples are given to show that, nil generalized power series reflexive need not be generalized power series reflexive and vice versa, and nil generalized power series reflexive but not semicommutative are presented. We proved that, if R is a left APP-ring, then R is generalized power series reflexive, and R is nil generalized power series reflexive if and only if R/I is nil generalized power series reflexive. Moreover, we investigate ring extensions which have roles in ring theory.

The aim of this paper is to define the notions of generalized （m, n）-derivations and generalized （m, n）：Jordan derivations and to prove two theorems involving these map- pings.

Some Results about Derivations of Prime Rings

Recently, basing on a suitable application of Milne-Bhatnagar＇s characterization theorem about matrix inversions, we have found that Warnaar＇s elliptic matrix inversion can be further extended to the following general inversion theorem.

A Note on Commutators with Power Central Values on Lie Ideals

This note proves that, if R is a prime ring of characteristic 2 with d a derivation of R and L a noncentral Lie ideal of R such that [d（u）,u]^n is central, for all u ∈ L, then R must satisfy s4, the standard identity in 4 variables. The case where R is a semiprime ring is also examined by the authors. The results of the note improve Carini and Filippis＇s results.

Orthogonality of Generalized (θ,φ)-Derivations on Ideals

In this paper,necessary and sufficient conditions concerning the orthogonality and the composition of a couple of generalized （θ,φ）-derivations on a nonzero ideal of a semiprime ring are presented.These results are generalizations of several results of Breˇsar and Vukman,which are related to a theorem of Posner on the product of two derivations on a prime ring.
