Let $mathfrak{A}$ be an algebra. A linear mapping $delta:mathfrak{A}tomathfrak{A}$ is called a textit{derivation} if $delta(ab)=delta(a)b+adelta(b)$ for each $a,binmathfrak{A}$. Given two derivations $delta$ and $delta'$ on a $C^*$-algebra $mathfrak A$, we prove that there exists a derivation $Delta$ on $mathfrak A$ such that $deltadelta'=Delta^2$ if and only if either $delta'=0$ or $delta=sdel...
