Let A be a unital algebra and M be a unital A-bimodule. A characterization of generalized derivations and generalized Jordan derivations from A into M, through zero products or zero Jordan products, is given. Suppose that M is a unital left A-module. It is investigated when a linear mapping from A into M is a Jordan left derivation under certain conditions. It is also studied whether an algebra...

Abstract. Let R be a 2-torsion free ring with identity. In this paper, first we prove that any Jordan left derivation (hence, any left derivation) on the full matrix ringMn(R) (n 2) is identically zero, and any generalized left derivation on this ring is a right centralizer. Next, we show that if R is also a prime ring and n 1, then any Jordan left derivation on the ring Tn(R) of all n×n uppe...

A linear mapping φ on an algebra A is called a centralizable mapping at G ∈ A if φ(AB) = φ(A)B = Aφ(B) for each A and B in A with AB = G, and φ is called a derivable mapping at G ∈ A if φ(AB) = φ(A)B + Aφ(B) for each A and B in A with AB = G. A point G in A is called a full-centralizable point (resp. full-derivable point) if every centralizable (resp. derivable) mapping at G is a centralizer (r...

In this paper we characterize the left Jordan derivations on Banach algebras. Also, it is shown that every bounded linear map $d:mathcal Ato mathcal M$ from a von Neumann algebra $mathcal A$ into a Banach $mathcal A-$module $mathcal M$ with property that $d(p^2)=2pd(p)$ for every projection $p$ in $mathcal A$ is a left Jordan derivation.

Let R be a ring and S a nonempty subset of R. Suppose that θ and φ are endomorphisms of R. An additive mapping δ : R → R is called a left (θ,φ)-derivation (resp., Jordan left (θ,φ)derivation) on S if δ(xy) = θ(x)δ(y)+φ(y)δ(x) (resp., δ(x2) = θ(x)δ(x)+φ(x)δ(x)) holds for all x,y ∈ S. Suppose that J is a Jordan ideal and a subring of a 2-torsion-free prime ring R. In the present paper, it is show...
