Let $R$ be a prime ring of characteristic different from $2$ with a right Martindale quotient ring $Q_r$ and an extended centroid $C$. Let $F$ be a non zero generalized derivation of $R$ and $S$ be the set of evaluations of a non-central valued multilinear polynomial $f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ over $C$. Let $p,q\in R$ be such that
$pF^2(u)u+F^2(u)uq=0$ for all $u\in S$.
Then for all $x\in R$ one of the followings holds:1) there exists $a\in Q_r$ such that $F(x)=ax$ or $F(x)=xa$ and $a^2=0$,2) $p=-q\in C$,3) $f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)^2$ is central valued on $R$ and there exists $a\in Q_r$ such that $F(x)=ax$ with $pa^2+a^2q=0$.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
