Abstract
Let R be an associative ring and ${\alpha},{\beta}:R{\rightarrow}R$ ring homomorphisms. An additive mapping $d:R{\rightarrow}R$ is called an (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-derivation of R if $d(xy)=d(x){\alpha}(y)+{\beta}(x)d(y)$ is fulfilled for any $x,y{\in}R$, and an additive mapping $D:R{\rightarrow}R$ is called a generalized (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-derivation of R associated with an (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-derivation d if $D(xy)=D(x){\alpha}(y)+{\beta}(x)d(y)$ is fulfilled for all $x,y{\in}R$. In this note, we intend to generalize a theorem of Vukman [5], and a theorem of Daif and El-Sayiad [2].
