Let R be a ring with identity. R satisfies one of the following properties for all x, y ∈ R:

  1. (I) xynxmy = xm+1yn+1 and mnm! n! x≠0 except x = 0;

  2. (II) xynxm = xm + 1yn + 1 and mm! n! x≠0 except x = 0;

  3. (III) xmyn = ynxm and m! n! x≠0 except x = 0;

  4. (IV) (xpyQ)n = xpnyqn for n = k, k + 1 and N(p, q, k) x≠0 except x = 0, where N(p, q, k) is a definite positive integer. Then R is commutative.
