In [3], Ligh proved that every distributively generated Boolean near-ring is a ring, and he gave an example to which the above fact can not be extended. That is, let G be an additive group and let the multiplication on G be defined by xy = y for all x, y in G. Ligh called this Boolean near-ring G a general Boolean near-ring. near-ring. Then in [4], Ligh called Ra β-near-ring if for each x in R, x2 = x and xyz = yxz for all x, y, z in R, and he proved that the structure of a β-near-ring is “very close” to that of a usual Boolean ring. We note that general Boolean near-rings and Boolean semirings as defined in [5] are β-near-rings. The purpose of this paper is to generalize the structure theorem on β-near-rings given by Ligh in [4] to a broader class of near-rings.
