Generalized derivations preserving Engel condition in prime and semiprime rings

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] be a prime ring with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] a non-central Lie ideal of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] its Martindale quotient ring and [Formula: see text] its extended centroid. Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be nonzero generalized derivations on [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] Then there exists [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], for any [Formula: see text], unless [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the algebraic closure of [Formula: see text].
