It is our aim in this paper to prove the following result, which is in the spirit of Herstein's theorem. Let ▫$R$▫ be a prime ring with ▫$text{char}(R) = 0$▫ or ▫$4 < text{char}(R)$▫, and let ▫$D colon R to R$▫ be an additive mapping satisfying either the relation ▫$D(x^3) = D(x^2)x + x^2D(x)$▫ or the relation ▫$D(x^3) = D(x)x^2 + xD(x^2)$▫ for all ▫$x in R$▫. In both cases ▫$D$▫ is a derivation.20132015-07-10 12:33:34Delo ni kategorizirano49939UDK: 512.552OceCobissID: 1036559COBISS_ID: 512501053DOI: 10.3336/gm.48.1.06ISSN pri članku: 0017-095XNUK URN: URN:SI:UM:DK:VBPCHOW3sl
