A $(\\phi, \\psi)$-derivation is a linear mapping $d: \\calak \\to B(\\calhk)$ such that $$d(ab)=\\phi(a)d(b)+d(a)\\psi(b)\\quad (a,b\\in \\calak).$$ We prove that if $\\phi$ is a multiplicative (not necessarily linear) $*$-mapping, then every $*$-$(\\phi,\\phi)$-derivation is automatically continuous. Using this fact, we show that every $*$-$(\\phi,\\psi)$-derivation $d$ from $\\calak$ into $B(\\calhk)$ is continuous if and only if the $*$-mappings $\\phi$ and $\\psi$ are left and right $d$-continuous, respectively.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-01-21T08:01:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46L57", "46L05", "47B47" ], "keywords": [ "continuity", "derivation", "achievement" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006math.....11016H" } } }
