Abstract

Let n3n\geq 3 be an integer. Let D\mathcal{D} be a division ring with char(D)>n(\mathcal{D})>n or char(D)=0(\mathcal{D})=0. Let R=Mm(D)\mathcal{R}=M_m(\mathcal{D}) be a ring of n×nn\times n matrices over DD, m2m\geq 2. The main theorem in the paper states that the only additive maps ff and gg satisfying that f(X)+Xng(X1)=0f(X)+X^ng(X^{-1})=0 for all invertible XRX\in \mathcal{R}, are zero maps, which generalizes both a result proved by Dar and Jing and a result proved by Catalano and Merchaˊ\acute{a}n.
