Let G be a group with identity 0 and let be a group of automorphisms of G. The centralizer near-ring determined by G and is the set for all α∈ and f(0)=0}, forming a near-ring under function addition and function composition. This class of nea-rings has been extensively studied (for example see [1], [2], [5] and [6]) and it is known that every finite simple near-ring with identity which is not a ring is isomorphic to C(;G) for a suitable pair (,G) see [6] page 131, Corollary 4.59 and Theorem 4.60.
