On commutativity of rings with generalized derivations.
(English)
[J] Math. J. Okayama Univ. 44, 43-49 (2002). ISSN 0030-1566

An additive map $F$ from a ring $R$ into itself is said to be a generalized derivation if there is a derivation $d$ of $R$ such that $F(xy)=F(x)y+xd(y)$ for all $x,y\in R$. The author extends some results that are known for derivations on prime rings to generalized derivations. The main results treat the conditions: (i) $[F(x),x]=0$, (ii) $F(xy-yx)=xy-yx$, and (iii) $F(xy+zy)=xy+yx$ for all $x$, $y$ in some appropriate subset of $R$.
