Let / and g be functions of a set 5 into a semiprime ring R. A necessary and sufficient condition for / and g to satisfy f{s)xg{t) = g{s)xf{t) for all s, t e S, x e R is given. As an application, biderivations and commuting additive mappings of semiprime rings are characterized.

Introduction Sessa [9] generalized the notion of commuting maps given by Jungck [2] and introduced weakly commuting mappings. Further, Jungck [3] introduced more generalized commutativity called compatibility. In 1998, Jungck and Rhoades [4] introduced the notion of weakly compatible maps and showed that compatible maps are weakly compatible but converse need not true. Menger [5] introduced the...

The Bäcklund transformation (BT) of Adler’s lattice equation is inherent in the equation itself by virtue of its multidimensional consistency. We refer to a solution of the equation that is related to itself by the composition of two BTs (with different Bäcklund parameters) as a 2-cycle of the BT. In this article we will show that such solutions are associated with a commuting one-parameter fam...

The purpose of this paper is to present a common fixed point theorem for pair R-weakly commuting mappings defined on b-fuzzy metric spaces satisfying nonlinear contractive conditions Boyd-Wong type, obtained in D. W. Boyd, J. S. Wong: On contractions, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 20 (1969), 458-464.

Banach contraction principle is a fundamental result in fixed point theory and has been applied and extended in many different directions. In 2002, Branciari [3] obtained a fixed point theorem for a single mapping satisfying an analogue of Banach’s contraction principle for an integral type inequality. Aliouche [2] established a common fixed point theorem for weakly compatible mappings in symme...
