Abstract

Let kk be a field of characteristic zero. If c1,c2k{0},s,t1c_1, c_2\in k\setminus \{0\}, s,t\geq 1 and u0u\geq 0, then it is shown that the kk-derivations x+xu(c1xtys+c2)y\partial_x + x^u(c_1x^ty^s+c_2)\partial_y and x+xu(c1xt+c2ys+1)y\partial_x + x^u(c_1x^t+c_2y^{s+1})\partial_y of k[x,y]k[x,y] are simple. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for the kk-derivation yrx+(c1xt1ys1+c2xt2ys2)yy^r\partial_x + (c_1x^{t_1}y^{s_1}+c_2x^{t_2}y^{s_2})\partial_y, where r,t1,s1,t2,s20r, t_1, s_1, t_2, s_2 \geq 0 and c1,c2kc_1, c_2\in k, of k[x,y]k[x,y] to be simple.
