Abstract

Let nn and ss be fixed integers such that n2n\geq 2 and 1sn21\leq s\leq \frac{n}{2}. Let Mn(K)M_n(\mathbb{K}) be the ring of all n×nn\times n matrices over a field K\mathbb{K}. If a map δ:Mn(K)Mn(K)\delta:M_n(\mathbb{K})\rightarrow M_n(\mathbb{K}) satisfies that δ(xy)=δ(x)y+xδ(y)\delta(xy)=\delta(x)y+x\delta(y) for any two rank-ss matrices x,yMn(K)x,y\in M_n(\mathbb{K}), then there exists a derivation DD of Mn(K)M_n(\mathbb{K}) such that δ(x)=D(x)\delta(x)=D(x) holds for each rank-kk matrix xMn(K)x\in M_n(\mathbb{K}) with 0ks0\leq k\leq s.
