A NOTE ON β-DERIVATIONS IN PRIME NEAR RING

Abstract

In this paper, we prove commutativity of prime near rings by using the notion of β-derivations. Let M be a prime near ring. If there exist p,q ϵ M and two sided nonzero β-derivation f on M, where β:M→M is a homomorphism, satisfying the following conditions: f([s,t])=s^p [β(s),β(t)]s^q ∀ s,t ϵ M f([s,t])=-s^p [β(s),β(t)]s^q ∀ s,t ϵ M
