Abstract :
Let R be a noncommutative prime ring of characteristic different from 2, U the Utumi quotient ring of R, C (=Z(U)) the extended centroid of R. Let 0≠a∈R and f(x1,…,xn) a multilinear polynomial over C which is noncentral valued on R. Suppose that G and H are two nonzero generalized derivations of R such that a(H(f(x))f(x)−f(x)G(f(x)))∈C for all x=(x1,…,xn)∈Rn. one of the following holds: (1) f(x1,…,xn)2 is central valued on R and there exist b,p,q∈U such that H(x)=px+xb for all x∈R, G(x)=bx+xq for all x∈R with a(p−q)∈C; (2) there exist p,q∈U such that H(x)=px+xq for all x∈R, G(x)=qx for all x∈R with ap=0; (3) f(x1,…,xn)2 is central valued on R and there exist q∈U, λ∈C and an outer derivation g of U such that H(x)=xq+λx−g(x) for all x∈R, G(x)=qx+g(x) for all x∈R, with a∈C; (4) R satisfies s4 and there exist b,p∈U such that H(x)=px+xb for all x∈R, G(x)=bx+xp for all x∈R.
