Abstract

In this paper, we mainly prove some results on the additivity of maps over rings under certain conditions. First, we discuss a special case of MARTINDALE III's theorem of \cite{1969M} as a bijective map φ\varphi over a ring RR with a non-trivial idempotent satisfying φ(ab)=φ(a)φ(b)\varphi(ab)=\varphi(a)\varphi(b) for all a,bRa, b\in R, is additive. Then we prove that a map DD on RR satisfying D(ab)=D(a)b+φ(a)D(b)D(ab)=D(a)b+\varphi(a) D(b) for all a,bRa,b\in R, where φ\varphi is the map mentioned above, is additive. Finally, we establish that if a map gg over RR satisfies g(ab)=g(a)b+φ(a)D(b),g(ab)=g(a)b+\varphi(a)D(b), for all a,bRa,b\in R and the maps φ\varphi and DD are mentioned above, then gg is additive.
