Abstract

 Let D be a division ring such that char(D)2  and α,β:DD be automorphisms of D. The main purpose of this paper is to characterizes additive maps                              
f and g satisfying the identity f(x)α(x1)+β(x)g(x1)=0 for all 0xD. As an application, we describe the structure of an additive map f satisfying the identity                            
f(x)α(y)+β(x)f(y)=l for all x,yD such that xy=a, where l,aD and a is nonzero. With this, many known results can be either generalized or deduced. In particular, we generalized the results proved in
\cite{C1} and \cite{C2}, respectively.
