Abstract

It is known that for a nonzero derivation d of a prime ring R, if a nonzero ideal I of R satisfies the Engel-type identity [[…[[d(x k 0 ), x k 1 ], x k 2 ],…], x k n ], then R is commutative. Here we extend this result to a skew derivation of R for a Lie ideal I, which has an immediate corollary that replaces d by an automorphism of R. A related result in two variables is obtained for d a (θ, ϕ)-derivation.
