Abstract
Let R be a semiprime ring with the maximal right ring of quotients Q mr . An additive map d: R →Q mr is called a generalized skew derivation if there exists a ring endomorphism σ:R →R and a map \(\d:R \to Q_{mr}\) such that \(d(xy)=\d(x)y+\sigma(x)d(y)\) for all x,y ∈ R. If σ is surjective, we determine the structure of generalized skew derivations for which there exists a finite number of elements a i ,b i ∈ Q mr such that d(x) = a 1 xb 1 + ⋯ + a n xb n for all x ∈ R.
