Abstract
‎Let $R$ be a ring‎, ‎$M$ be a left $R$-module‎, ‎$\tau:M\rightarrow M$ and $\delta:R\rightarrow R$ be additive maps‎. ‎We say that $\tau$ is a generalized derivation relative to $\delta$ if $\tau(am)=a\tau(m)+\delta(a)m$ for all $a\in R$ and $m\in M$‎. ‎In this paper we provide a generalization of Posner's first theorem to generalized derivations on ${2}$-torsion free prime modules‎. ‎We also obtain a result of this generalization in connection with derivations acting on left ideals of prime rings‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎we extend some previous results related to Posner's first theorem‎. ‎Further‎, ‎as an application of our main result‎, ‎we examine Posner's first theorem for a certain class of derivations on trivial extension rings under some suitable conditions‎.
