On Prime and Semiprime Near-Rings with Generalized Derivation

Abstract

Let N be a left near-ring and S be a nonempty subset of N. A mapping F from N to N is called commuting on S if [F(x),x] = 0 for all x € S. The mapping F is called strong commutativity preserving (SCP) on S if [F(x),F(y)] = [x,y] for all x, y € S. In the present paper, firstly we generalize the well known result of Posner which is commuting derivations on prime rings to generalized derivations of semiprime near-rings. Secondly, we investigate SCP-generalized derivations of prime near-rings.
