for a ring endomorphism $alpha$ and an $alpha$-derivation $delta$, we introduce a concept, so called skew $pi$-armendariz ring, that is a generalization of both $pi$-armendariz rings, and $(alpha,delta)$-compatible skew armendariz rings. we first observe the basic properties of skew $pi$-armendariz rings, and extend the class of skew $pi$-armendariz rings through various ring extensions. we nex...
