Additivity of Reverse Derivable Maps

Abstract

Let $R$ be any ring containing a non-tivial idempotent element $e$. Let $\Im: R\rightarrow R$ be a mapping such that $\Im(ab)=\Im(b)a+b\Im(a)$ for all $a,b\in R$. In this note, our aim is to show that under some suitable restrictions imposed on $R,$ $\Im$ is additive.
