Abstract

Let gg be an additive map on a division ring DD. In this paper, we study the functional identity G1(y)g(y)G2(y)=H(y)G_{1}(y)g(y)G_{2}(y) = H(y), where G1(Y),G2(Y)G_{1}(Y), G_{2}(Y), H(Y)H(Y) are generalized polynomials in DG[Y]D_{G}[Y] such that both G1(Y)G_{1}(Y) and G2(Y)G_{2}(Y) are non-zero. By application of this result and its implications, we prove that if DD is a non-commutative division ring with char(D)2\operatorname{char}(D) \neq 2, then the only possible solution of additive maps g1,g2:DDg_{1},g_{2}: D \rightarrow D satisfying the identity g1(y)ym+yng2(y1)=0g_{1}(y)y^{-m} + y^{n}g_{2}(y^{-1})= 0 is g1=g2=0 g_{1} = g_{2} = 0, where mm and nn are positive integers with (m,n)(1,1)(m,n) \neq (1,1).
