Let $mathcal{A}$ be a $C^*$-algebra and $Z(mathcal{A})$ the center of $mathcal{A}$. A sequence ${L_{n}}_{n=0}^{infty}$ of linear mappings on $mathcal{A}$ with $L_{0}=I$, where $I$ is the identity mapping
on $mathcal{A}$, is called a Lie higher derivation if $L_{n}[x,y]=sum_{i+j=n} [L_{i}x,L_{j}y]$ for all $x,y in
mathcal{A}$ and all $ngeqslant0$. We show that ${L_{n}}_{n...
