Abstract
Let R be an associative ring with identity. In this paper we extend the J.H. Maynes results, which he treatised in [28]. In particular, we prove that if R is a δ-prime ring with charR non equal 2 and I is a nonzero δ-ideal of R, where δ ∈ D, c ∈ R and [c, δ(c)] in the center of R, then R is commutative.
