1. Introduction
Let A be an ∗-algebra over the complex field C. For U, V ∈ A, U ◦V = UV +VU and U •V = UV +VU ∗
denote the Jordan and Jordan ∗- product of U and V respectively. In several research domains, the Jordan
and Jordan ∗- product are becoming increasingly relevant and their study have attracted several authors
attention, see [1–9, 11–13]. An additive map : A → A is called an additive derivation if (UV) =
(U)V + U(V) for all U, V ∈ A. If (U ∗ ) = (U)∗ for all U ∈ A then is an additive ∗-derivation.
Let : A → A be a mapping (without the additivity assumption). We say is a nonlinear Jordan ∗-
derivation if
(U • V) = (U) • V + U • (V)
holds for all U, V ∈ A. With the nonlinear Jordan ∗- derivation, we can continue to grow them in a
natural manner. A map : A → A is said to be a nonlinear Jordan triple ∗-derivation if
(U • V • W) = (U) • V • W + U • (V) • W + U • V • (W)
holds for all U, V, W ∈ A. In recent years, some significant work drawn the attention of researchers
has been consecrated to evaluate mixed Lie and Jordan triple products. In [10], Yaoxian and Jianhua
proved that every nonlinear mixed Lie triple derivation on factor von Neumann algebras is an additive
∗-derivation. Moreover, in [14], Zhou et al. proved that every nonlinear mixed Lie triple derivation on
prime ∗-algebra is an additive ∗-derivation. Motivated by the above results, in this paper, we will look
into nonlinear mixed Jordan triple derivations on ∗- algebras. A map : A → A is said to be a nonlinear
mixed Jordan triple derivation if
(U ◦ V • W) = (U) ◦ V • W + U ◦ (V) • W + U ◦ V • (W)
for all U, V, W ∈ A. We prove that every nonlinear mixed Jordan triple derivations on ∗- algebras is an
additive ∗-derivation.

and
XA(I − P) = 0 ⇒ X = 0. ()
Define a map : A → A such that
(U ◦ V • W) = (U) ◦ V • W + U ◦ (V) • W + U ◦ V • (W)
for all U, V, W ∈ A. Then is an additive ∗-derivation.
Proof. Write P1 = P be a non-trivial projection and P2 = I − P1 . Put Aij = Pi APj for i, j = 1, 2. Then
by Peirce decomposition of A, we have A = A11 ⊕ A12 ⊕ A21 ⊕ A22 . Note that any U ∈ A can be
written as U = U11 + U12 + U21 + U22 , where Uij ∈ Aij for i, j = 1, 2.
We prove the above theorem by several lemmas.
Lemma 2.1. (0) = 0.
Proof. It is obvious that
(0) = (0 ◦ 0 • 0) = (0) ◦ 0 • 0 + 0 ◦ (0) • 0 + 0 ◦ 0 • (0) = 0.
Lemma 2.2. Let U12 ∈ A12 and U21 ∈ A21 . Then (U12 + U21 ) = (U12 ) + (U21 ).
Proof. Let M = (U12 + U21 ) − (U12 ) − (U21 ). Since U12 ◦ P2 • P1 = 0 and using Lemma 2.1, we
have
((U12 + U21 ) ◦ P2 • P1 ) = (U12 ◦ P2 • P1 ) + (U21 ◦ P2 • P1 )
= (U12 ) ◦ P2 • P1 + U12 ◦ (P2 ) • P1 + U12 ◦ P2 • (P1 )
+(U21 ) ◦ P2 • P1 + U21 ◦ (P2 ) • P1 + U21 ◦ P2 • (P1 ).
On the other hand, we have
((U12 + U21 ) ◦ P2 • P1 ) = (U12 + U21 ) ◦ P2 • P1 + (U12 + U21 ) ◦ (P2 ) • P1
+(U12 + U21 ) ◦ P2 • (P1 ).
By comparing the above two equations, we get M ◦ P2 • P1 = 0. That means P2 MP1 + P1 M ∗ P2 = 0.
Multiplying both sides by P1 from right, we get P2 MP1 = 0. Similarly, we can show P1 MP2 = 0.
Now, again (P1 − P2 ) ◦ I • U21 = 0 and using Lemma 2.1, we have
((P1 − P2 ) ◦ I • (U12 + U21 )) = ((P1 − P2 ) ◦ I • U12 ) + ((P1 − P2 ) ◦ I • U21 )
= (P1 − P2 ) ◦ I • U12 + (P1 − P2 ) ◦ (I) • U12
+(P1 − P2 ) ◦ I • (U12 ) + (P1 − P2 ) ◦ I • U21
+(P1 − P2 ) ◦ (I) • U21 + (P1 − P2 ) ◦ I • (U21 ).
On the other hand, we have
((P1 − P2 ) ◦ I • (U12 + U21 )) = (P1 − P2 ) ◦ I • (U12 + U21 )
+(P1 − P2 ) ◦ (I) • (U12 + U21 )
+(P1 − P2 ) ◦ I • (U12 + U21 ).
By comparing the above two equations, we find (P1 − P2 ) ◦ I • M = 0. That means 2P1 M − 2P2 M +
2MP1 − 2MP2 = 0. Multiplying both sides by P1 from left and right, we get P1 MP1 = 0. Similarly, by
multiplying both sides by P2 from left and right, we get P2 MP2 = 0. Hence, M = 0 i.e., (U12 + U21 ) =
(U12 ) + (U21 ).
Lemma 2.3. For every U11 ∈ A11 , U12 ∈ A12 and U21 ∈ A21 , we have

(1) (U11 + U12 + U21 ) = (U11 ) + (U12 ) + (U21 ).
(2) (U12 + U21 + U22 ) = (U12 ) + (U21 ) + (U22 ).
Proof. Let M = (U11 + U12 + U21 ) − (U11 ) − (U12 ) − (U21 ). On the one hand, we have
((U11 + U12 + U21 ) ◦ P1 • P2 ) = (U11 + U12 + U21 ) ◦ P1 • P2
+(U11 + U12 + U21 ) ◦ (P1 ) • P2
+(U11 + U12 + U21 ) ◦ P1 • (P2 ).
On the other hand, using Lemma 2.2 and since U11 ◦ P1 • P2 = 0, we have
((U11 + U12 + U21 ) ◦ P1 • P2 ) = (U11 ◦ P1 • P2 ) + (U12 ◦ P1 • P2 ) + (U21 ◦ P1 • P2 )
= (U11 ) ◦ P1 • P2 + U11 ◦ (P1 ) • P2 + U11 ◦ P1 • (P2 )
+(U12 ) ◦ P1 • P2 + U12 ◦ (P1 ) • P2 + U12 ◦ P1 • (P2 )
+(U21 ) ◦ P1 • P2 + U21 ◦ (P1 ) • P2 + U21 ◦ P1 • (P2 ).
By comparing the above two equations, we find M ◦ P1 • P2 = 0. This gives P1 MP2 + P2 M ∗ P1 = 0.
Multiplying above equation by P2 from right, we get P1 MP2 = 0. Similarly, we can show that P2 MP1 = 0.
Since
I I
◦ (P1 − P2 ) • U12 = ◦ (P1 − P2 ) • U21 = 0.
2 2
Using Lemma 2.1, it follows that
I I I
( ◦ (P1 − P2 ) • U11 + U12 + U21 ) = ( ◦ (P1 − P2 ) • U11 ) + ( ◦ (P1 − P2 ) • U12 )

On the other hand, we have
I I
( ◦ (P1 − P2 ) • U11 + U12 + U21 ) = ( ) ◦ (P1 − P2 ) • (U11 + U12 + U21 )

I
+ ◦ (P1 − P2 ) • (U11 + U12 + U21 )
2
I
+ ◦ (P1 − P2 ) • (U11 + U12 + U21 ).
2
By comparing the above two equations, we obtain 2I ◦(P1 −P2 )•M = 0. That yields P1 MP1 = P2 MP2 =
0. Hence, M = 0 i.e.,
(U11 + U12 + U21 ) = (U11 ) + (U12 ) + (U21 ).
Similarly, we can show
(U12 + U21 + U22 ) = (U12 ) + (U21 ) + (U22 ).
This completes the proof.

Lemma 2.4. For any Uij ∈ Aij , 1 ≤ i, j ≤ 2, we have

( Uij ) = (Uij ).
i,j=1 i,j=1
Proof. Let M = (U11 + U12 + U21 + U22 ) − (U11 ) − (U12 ) − (U21 ) − (U22 ).
On the one hand, we have
(I ◦ P1 • (U11 + U12 + U21 + U22 )) = (I) ◦ P1 • (U11 + U12 + U21 + U22 )
+I ◦ (P1 ) • (U11 + U12 + U21 + U22 )
+I ◦ P1 • (U11 + U12 + U21 + U22 ).
On the other hand, since I ◦ P1 • U22 = 0 and using Lemmas 2.1 and 2.3, we have
(I ◦ P1 • (U11 + U12 + U21 + U22 )) = (I ◦ P1 • U11 ) + (I ◦ P1 • U12 )
+(I ◦ P1 • U21 ) + (I ◦ P1 • U22 )
= (I) ◦ P1 • U11 + I ◦ (P1 ) • U11 + I ◦ P1 • (U11 )
+(I) ◦ P1 • U12 + I ◦ (P1 ) • U12 + I ◦ P1 • (U12 )
+(I) ◦ P1 • U21 + I ◦ (P1 ) • U21 + I ◦ P1 • (U21 )
+(I) ◦ P1 • U22 + I ◦ (P1 ) • U22 + I ◦ P1 • (U22 ).
By comparing the above two equations, we get I ◦P1 •M = 0, from which we obtain P1 MP2 = P2 MP1 =
P1 MP1 = 0. Similarly, we can show that P2 MP2 = 0. Thus M = 0 i.e.,
(U11 + U12 + U21 + U22 ) = (U11 ) + (U12 ) + (U21 ) + (U22 ).
Lemma 2.5. For any Uij , Vij ∈ Aij with i = j, (Uij + Vij ) = (Uij ) + (Vij ).

By comparing the above two equations, we get Pi ◦ 2I • N = 0. That means Pi NPi = Pi NPj = 0. Hence,
N = 0. This completes the proof.
Lemma 2.6. For any Uii , Vii ∈ Aii , 1 ≤ i ≤ 2, we have
(Uii + Vii ) = (Uii ) + (Vii ).
Proof. Let Q = (Uii + Vii ) − (Uii ) − (Vii ). Since I ◦ Pj • Uii = 0 for i = j and using Lemma 2.1,
we have
(I ◦ Pj • (Uii + Vii )) = (I ◦ Pj • Uii ) + (I ◦ Pj • Vii )
= (I) ◦ Pj • Uii + I ◦ (Pj ) • Uii + I ◦ Pj • (Uii )
+(I) ◦ Pj • Vii + I ◦ (Pj ) • Vii + I ◦ Pj • (Vii ).
On the other hand, we have
(I ◦ Pj • (Uii + Vii )) = (I) ◦ Pj • (Uii + Vii ) + I ◦ (Pj ) • (Uii + Vii ) + I ◦ Pj • (Uii + Vii ).
By comparing the above equations, we get I ◦ Pj • Q = 0. That means Pj QPj = Pj QPi = Pi QPj = 0.
Next, for any Xij ∈ Aij with i = j, we have
(Pi ◦ (Uii + Vii ) • Xij ) = (Pi ) ◦ (Uii + Vii ) • Xij + Pi ◦ (Uii + Vii ) • Xij
+Pi ◦ (Uii + Vii ) • (Xij ).
On the other hand, using Lemma 2.5, we have
(Pi ◦ (Uii + Vii ) • Xij ) = (Uii Xij + Uii Xij + Vii Xij + Vii Xij )
= (Uii Xij + Vii Xij ) + (Uii Xij + Vii Xij )
= (Uii Xij ) + (Vii Xij ) + (Uii Xij ) + (Vii Xij )
= (Uii Xij + Uii Xij ) + (Vii Xij + Vii Xij )
= (Pi ◦ Uii • Xij ) + (Pi ◦ Vii • Xij )
= (Pi ) ◦ Uii • Xij + Pi ◦ (Uii ) • Xij + Pi ◦ Uii • (Xij )
+(Pi ) ◦ Vii • Xij + Pi ◦ (Vii ) • Xij + Pi ◦ Vii • (Xij ).
By comparing the above two equations, we get Pi ◦ Q • Xij = 0. That means Pi QXij + QXij + Xij Q∗ Pi = 0.
Multiplying both sides by Pi from left and by Pj from the right, we get Pi QXij = 0 i.e., Pi QPi XPj = 0 for
all X ∈ A. It follows from () and () that Pi QPi = 0. Hence, Q = 0.
Lemma 2.7. is an additive map.
Proof. For any U, V ∈ A, we write U = U11 + U12 + U21 + U22 and V = V11 + V12 + V21 + V22 . By
using Lemmas 2.4–2.6, we get
(U + V) = (U11 + U12 + U21 + U22 + V11 + V12 + V21 + V22 )
= (U11 + V11 ) + (U12 + V12 ) + (U21 + V21 ) + (U22 + V22 )
= (U11 ) + (V11 ) + (U12 ) + (V12 ) + (U21 ) + (V21 ) + (U22 ) + (V22 )
= (U11 + U12 + U21 + U22 ) + (V11 + V12 + V21 + V22 )
= (U) + (V).

Lemma 2.8. (1) P1 (P1 )P2 = −P1 (P2 )P2 .
(2) P2 (P1 )P1 = −P2 (P2 )P1 .
(3) P1 (P2 )P1 = P2 (P1 )P2 = 0.
Proof. (1) It follows from P1 ◦ P1 • P2 = 0 and using Lemma 2.1 that
0 = (P1 ◦ P1 • P2 )
= (P1 ) ◦ P1 • P2 + P1 ◦ (P1 ) • P2 + P1 ◦ P1 • (P2 )
= 2P1 (P1 )P2 + 2P2 (P1 )∗ P1 + 2P1 (P2 ) + 2(P2 )P1 .
Multiplying both sides by P1 from the left and by P2 from the right, we get
P1 (P1 )P2 = −P1 (P2 )P2 .
(2) Since P2 ◦ P2 • P1 = 0 and using Lemma 2.1, we get
0 = (P2 ◦ P2 • P1 )
= (P2 ) ◦ P2 • P1 + P2 ◦ (P2 ) • P1 + P2 ◦ P2 • (P1 )
= 2P2 (P2 )P1 + 2P1 (P2 )∗ P2 + 2P2 (P1 ) + 2(P1 )P2 .
Multiplying both sides by P2 from the left and by P1 from the right, we get
P2 (P2 )P1 = −P2 (P1 )P1 .
(3) In (1), we have
0 = 2P1 (P1 )P2 + 2P2 (P1 )∗ P1 + 2P1 (P2 ) + 2(P2 )P1 . (2.1)
Multiplying both sides of the equation (2.1) by P1 from the left and right respectively, we get P1 (P2 )P1 =
0. Similarly, in (2), we have
0 = 2P2 (P2 )P1 + 2P1 (P2 )∗ P2 + 2P2 (P1 ) + 2(P1 )P2 . (2.2)
Multiplying both sides of the equation (2.2) by P2 from left and right respectively, we get
P2 (P1 )P2 = 0.
Lemma 2.9. P1 (P1 )P1 = P2 (P2 )P2 = 0.
Proof. For every U12 ∈ A12 , it follows from Lemma 2.7 that
(P1 ◦ P1 • U12 ) = 2(U12 ).
On the other hand, we have
(P1 ◦ P1 • U12 ) = (P1 ) ◦ P1 • U12 + P1 ◦ (P1 ) • U12 + P1 ◦ P1 • (U12 )
= 2(P1 )U12 + 2P1 (P1 )U12 + 2U12 (P1 )∗ P1 + 2P1 (U12 ) + 2(U12 )P1 .
By comparing the above two equations, we get
(P1 )U12 + P1 (P1 )U12 + U12 (P1 )∗ P1 + P1 (U12 ) + (U12 )P1 − (U12 ) = 0.
Multiplying last equation by P1 from the left and by P2 from the right, we get P1 (P1 )U12 = 0, i.e.,
P1 (P1 )P1 UP2 = 0 for all U ∈ A. It follows from () and () that P1 (P1 )P1 = 0. Similarly, we can
prove that P2 (P2 )P2 = 0.
Lemma 2.10. 1. (P1 ) = P1 (P1 )P2 + P2 (P1 )P1 , (P2 ) = P1 (P2 )P2 + P2 (P2 )P1 .
2. (I) = 0.
1340 N. U. REHMAN ET AL.
Proof. (1) By using Peirce decomposition, we can write
(P1 ) = P1 (P1 )P1 + P1 (P1 )P2 + P2 (P1 )P1 + P2 (P1 )P2 .
Now, by using Lemmas 2.8 and 2.9, we get (P1 ) = P1 (P1 )P2 + P2 (P1 )P1 . Similarly, we can show
that (P2 ) = P1 (P2 )P2 + P2 (P2 )P1 .
(2) It follows from Lemmas 2.7–2.9 that
(I) = (P1 ) + (P2 ) = P1 (P1 )P2 + P2 (P1 )P1 + P1 (P2 )P2 + P2 (P2 )P1 = 0.
Lemma 2.11. (U ∗ ) = (U)∗ for all U ∈ A.
Proof. From Lemma 2.7, we have
(U ◦ I • I) = (2U + 2U ∗ ) = 2(U) + 2(U ∗ ).
On the other hand, using Lemma 2.10(2), we have
(U ◦ I • I) = (U) ◦ I • I = 2(U) + 2(U)∗ .
By comparing the above equations, we find (U ∗ ) = (U)∗ .
Now, let M = P1 (P1 )P2 − P2 (P1 )P1 . Then M = −M ∗ . Defining a map : A → A by (U) =
(U) − (UM − MU) for all U ∈ A. It is easy to verify that for all U, V, W ∈ A, (U ◦ V • W) =
(U) ◦ V • W + U ◦ (V) • W + U ◦ V • (W).
Remark 2.1. has the following properties.
(1) (U ∗ ) = (U)∗ for all U ∈ A.
(2) is additive.
(3) (P1 ) = (P2 ) = 0.
(4) (I) = 0.
(5) is a ∗-derivation if and only if is a ∗-derivation.
Proof. (1) By using Lemma 2.11, we have
(U)∗ = (U ∗ ) − (U ∗ M − MU ∗ ) = (U ∗ ).
(2) By using Lemma 2.7 that is additve and hence, is also additive.
(3) By using Lemma 2.10 (1), we have
(P1 ) = (P1 ) − P1 (P1 )P2 − P2 (P1 )P1
= P1 (P1 )P2 + P2 (P1 )P1 − P1 (P1 )P2 − P2 (P1 )P1 = 0.
Similarly, we can show that (P2 ) = 0.
(4) By using additivity of , we have
(I) = (P1 + P2 ) = (P1 ) + (P2 ) = 0.
(5) Since [U, M] = UM − MU is an additive ∗-derivation. Hence, is a ∗-derivation if and only if is
a ∗-derivation.
Lemma 2.12. (Uij ) ⊆ Uij , i, j = 1, 2.
Proof. First, we prove for i = 1 and j = 2. In view of Remark 2.1, we have
2(U12 ) = (I ◦ P1 • U12 ) = I ◦ P1 • (U12 ) = 2P1 (U12 ) + 2(U12 )P1 .
COMMUNICATIONS IN ALGEBRA® 1341
This implies that P1 (U12 )P1 = P2 (U12 )P2 = 0. Again from I ◦ U12 • P1 = 0 and using (P1 ) =
(I) = 0, we have
0 = (I ◦ U12 • P1 ) = I ◦ (U12 ) • P1 = 2(U12 )P1 + 2P1 (U12 )∗ .
This implies that P2 (U12 )P1 = 0 and thus (U12 ) ⊆ U12 . Similarly, we can show (U21 ) ⊆ U21 .
Now, we prove for i = j = 1, since I ◦ P2 • U11 = 0 and by using Lemma 2.1, we have
0 = (I ◦ P2 • U11 ) = I ◦ P2 • (U11 ) = P2 (U11 ) + (U11 )P2 .
This implies that P2 (U11 )P1 = P2 (U11 )P1 = P1 (U11 )P2 = 0. Hence (U11 ) ⊆ U11 . Similarly,
(U22 ) ⊆ U22 .
Lemma 2.13. For any Ui,j , Vi,j ∈ Aij , 1 ≤ i, j ≤ 2, we have
(1) (U11 V12 ) = (U11 )V12 + U11 (V12 ) and (U22 V21 ) = (U22 )V21 + U22 (V21 ).
(2) (U12 V21 ) = (U12 )V21 + U12 (V21 ) and (U21 V12 ) = (U21 )V12 + U21 (V12 ).
(3) (U11 V11 ) = (U11 )V11 + U11 (V11 ) and (U22 V22 ) = (U22 )V22 + U22 (V22 ).
(4) (U12 V22 ) = (U12 )V22 + U12 (V22 ) and (U21 V11 ) = (U21 )V11 + U21 (V11 ).
Proof. (1) By using Remark 2.1 that is additive, we have
(I ◦ U11 • V12 ) = 2 (U11 V12 ).
On the other hand, using Lemma 2.12 and (I) = 0, we have
(I ◦ U11 • V12 ) = I ◦ (U11 ) • V12 + I ◦ U11 • (V12 ) = 2(U11 )V12 + 2U11 (V12 ).
By comparing the above two equations, we get (U11 V12 ) = (U11 )V12 + U11 (V12 ).
Similarly, we can show that (U22 V21 ) = (U22 )V21 + U22 (V21 ).
(2) By using Remark 2.1, we have
(I ◦ U12 • V21 ) = 2 (U12 V21 ).
On the other hand, it follows from Lemma 2.12 and (I) = 0 that
(I ◦ U12 • V21 ) = I ◦ (U12 ) • V21 + I ◦ U12 • (V21 ) = 2 (U12 )V21 + 2 U12 (V21 ).
By comparing the above two equations, we get (U12 V21 ) = (U12 )V21 + U12 (V21 ).
Similarly, we can prove that (U21 V12 ) = (U21 )V12 + U21 (V12 ).
(3) For every X12 ∈ A12 , we have from Lemma 2.13(1) that
(U11 V11 )X12 + U11 V11 (X12 ) = (U11 V11 X12 )
= (U11 )V11 X12 + U11 (V11 X12 )
= (U11 )V11 X12 + U11 (V11 )X12 + U11 V11 (X12 ).
Then ( (U11 V11 ) − (U11 )V11 − U11 (V11 ) )X12 = 0 for all X12 ∈ A12 . It follows from () and ()
that (U11 V11 ) = (U11 )V11 + U11 (V11 ). Similarly, we can prove that (U22 V22 ) = (U22 )V22 +
U22 (V22 ).
(4) It follows from Lemma 2.12 that
(P1 ◦ U12 • V22 ) = P1 ◦ (U12 ) • V22 + P1 ◦ U12 • (V22 )
= (U12 )V22 + V22 (U12 )∗ + U12 (V22 ) + (V22 )U12
∗
.
On the other hand, using Remark 2.1, Lemmas 2.12 and 2.13(1), we get
∗
(P1 ◦ U12 • V22 ) = (U12 V22 + V22 U12 )
∗
= (U12 V22 ) + (V22 U12 )
∗
= (U12 V22 ) + (V22 )U12 + V22 (U12 )∗ .
By comparing the above two equations, we get (U12 V22 ) = (U12 )V22 + U12 (V22 ). Similarly,
(U21 V11 ) = (U21 )V11 + U21 (V11 ).

Lemma 2.14. (UV) = (U)V + U(V) for all U, V ∈ A.
Proof. For every U, V ∈ A, we can write U = U11 + U12 + U21 + U22 and V = V11 + V12 + V21 + V22 .
Since, is additive and using Lemma 2.13, we get
(UV) = (U11 V11 + U11 V12 + U12 V21 + U12 V22
+U21 V11 + U21 V12 + U22 V21 + U22 V22 )
= (U11 V11 ) + (U11 V12 ) + (U12 V21 ) + (U12 V22 )
+(U21 V11 ) + (U21 V12 ) + (U22 V21 ) + (U22 V22 )
= (U11 + U12 + U21 + U22 )(V11 + V12 + V21 + V22 )
+(U11 + U12 + U21 + U22 ) (V11 + V12 + V21 + V22 )
= (U)V + U(V).
Hence, is a derivation.
Now, by Remark 2.1 and Lemma 2.14 proves that is an additive ∗-derivation. Hence, is an additive
∗-derivation. This completes the proof of Theorem 2.1.
Now, we present some corollaries of the main result. The algebra of all bounded linear operators on
a complex Hilbert space H is represented as B(H). By F(H), we mean the subalgebra of bounded finite
rank operators. It is to be noted that F(H) forms a ∗-closed ideal in B(H). An algebra A ⊂ B(H) is said
to be standard operator algebra in case F(H) ⊂ A. Hence, we have an immediate corollary as follows.
Corollary 2.1. Let A be a standard operator algebra on an infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space H
containing identity operator I. Suppose that A is closed under adjoint operation. Define : A → A such
that
(U ◦ V • W) = (U) ◦ V • W + U ◦ (V) • W + U ◦ V • (W)
for all U, V, W ∈ A . Then is an additive ∗-derivation.
An algebra A is said to be prime if UAV = 0 implies either U = 0 or V = 0. It is clear that prime
∗-algebra satisfies () and () . Thus, we have the following corollary.
Corollary 2.2. Let A be a prime ∗-algebra with unit I containing non-trivial projection P. A map : A →
A satisfies
(U ◦ V • W) = (U) ◦ V • W + U ◦ (V) • W + U ◦ V • (W)
for all U, V, W ∈ A . Then is an additive ∗-derivation.
