Abstract
Let \({\mathfrak{M}}\) be a Hilbert C*-module on a C*-algebra \({\mathfrak{A}}\) and let \({End_\mathfrak{A}(\mathfrak{M})}\) be the algebra of all operators on \({\mathfrak{M}}\). In this paper, first the continuity of \({\mathfrak{A}}\)-module homomorphism derivations on \({End_\mathfrak{A}(\mathfrak{M})}\) is investigated. We give some sufficient conditions on which every derivation on \({End_\mathfrak{A}(\mathfrak{M})}\) is inner. Next, we study approximately innerness of derivations on \({End_\mathfrak{A}(\mathfrak{M})}\) for a σ-unital C*-algebra \({\mathfrak{A}}\) and full Hilbert \({\mathfrak{A}}\)-module \({\mathfrak{M}}\). Finally, we show that every bounded linear mapping on \({End_\mathfrak{A}(\mathfrak{M})}\) which behave like a derivation when acting on pairs of elements with unit product, is a Jordan derivation.
