Abstract

Let A be a (complex) Banach algebra. The object of the this paper shall be remove the continuity of the derivation in the recently theorems. We prove that every derivation D on A satisfying [D(a), a] ${\in}$ Prad(A) for all a ${\in}$ A maps into the radical of A. Also if ${\alpha}D^3+D^2$ is a derivation for some ${\alpha}{\in}C$ and all minimal prime ideals are closed, then D maps into its radical.
