The following result is proved: Let R be a 2-torsion free semiprime ring, and let T : R → R be an additive mapping, related to a surjective homomorphism θ : R → R, such that 2T (x2) = T (x)θ(x) + θ(x)T (x) for all x ∈ R. Then T is both a left and a right θ-centralizer.

In this paper we prove the following result. Let R be a 6−torsion free semiprime ∗−ring and let D : R → R be an additive mapping satisfying the relation D(xyx) = D(x)y∗x∗ + xD(y)x∗ + xyD(x), for all pairs x, y ∈ R. In this case D is a Jordan ∗−derivation. Mathematics Subject Classification: 16W10, 39B05

In this paper we introduce the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy prime, strongly prime, semiprime bi-ideals in ternary semigroup and look for some of their related characteristics. Also here we introduce irreducible and strongly irreducible intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideals in a ternary semigroup. AMS subject classification: 20N10, 20M12, 04A72.
