Abstract

Let \((d_i)_{i\in \mathbb {N}}\) and \((\delta _j)_{j\in \mathbb {N}}\) be two higher derivations of order m and n respectively on semiprime ring R such that \(d_m(x)x-x\delta _n(x)\in Z(R)\) for all \(x\in I\), where I be an ideal of R. In this article we generalize Posner’s second theorem for higher derivation and prove that either R is commutative or some linear combination of \((\delta _j)\) sends Z(R) to zero.
