Notes on the characterization of derivations

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2013-07-03 v1

Abstract

Although the characterization of ring derivations has an extensive literature, up to now, all of the characterizations have had the following form: additivity and another property imply that the function in question is a derivation. The aim of this note is to point out that derivations can be described via a single equation.
