Abstract

The aim of this work is to study a decomposition theorem for rings satisfying either of the properties xy=xpf(xyx)xq or xy=xpf(yxy)xq, where p=p(x,y),q=q(x,y) are nonnegative integers and f(t)t[t] vary with the pair of elements x,y, and further investigate the commutativity of such rings. Other related results are obtained for near-rings.
