LetN be a zero-symmetric left near-ring, not necessarily with amultiplicative identity element; and letZ be its multiplicative center. DefineN to be 3-prime if for all a, b ∈ N\{0}, aNb / {0}; and callN 2-torsion-free if N, has no elements of order 2. A derivation onN is an additive endomorphism D of N such that D xy xD y D x y for all x, y ∈ N. A generalized derivation f with associated deriva...

Let M be a 2-torsion free prime Γ-ring and X a nonzero faithful and prime ΓM -module. Then the existence of a nonzero Jordan left derivation d : M → X satisfying some appropriate conditions implies M is commutative. M is also commutative in the case that d : M → M is a derivation along with some suitable assumptions. AMS (MOS) Subject Classification Codes: 03E72, 54A40, 54B15

The separating space of a derivation onA is a separating ideal [2, Chapter 5]; it also satisfies the same property for the left products. The following assertions are of the most famous conjectures about derivations on Banach algebras: (C1) every derivation on a Banach algebra has a nilpotent separating ideal; (C2) every derivation on a semiprime Banach algebra is continuous; (C3) every derivat...
