Let A be an algebra and let X be an A-bimodule. A C−linear mapping d : A → X is called a generalized Jordan derivation if there exists a Jordan derivation (in the usual sense) δ : A → X such that d(a) = ad(a) + δ(a)a for all a ∈ A. The main purpose of this paper to prove the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability and superstability of the generalized Jordan derivations.

In (Kracht, 2001) we have proposed a theory of chains and compared three concurrent types of syntactic representations: Copy Chain Structures (CCSs), Trace Chain Structures (TCSs) and Multidominance Structures (MDSs). The first arise from copy movement as used in the Minimalist Program (MP), the second from copy and delete as used in GB (giving rise to traces), and the third arising from linkin...

In his classical paper 1 , Chang invented the notion of MV-algebra in order to provide an algebraic proof of the completeness theorem of infinite valued Lukasiewicz propositional calculus. Recently, the algebraic theory of MV-algebras is intensively studied, see 2–5 . The notion of derivation, introduced from the analytic theory, is helpful to the research of structure and property in algebraic...

The separating space of a derivation onA is a separating ideal [2, Chapter 5]; it also satisfies the same property for the left products. The following assertions are of the most famous conjectures about derivations on Banach algebras: (C1) every derivation on a Banach algebra has a nilpotent separating ideal; (C2) every derivation on a semiprime Banach algebra is continuous; (C3) every derivat...
