Abstract

We generalize the results of Leger and Luks and other researchers about generalized derivations to the cases of ternary Lie algebras and n-BiHom Lie algebras. We investigate the derivations algebras of ternary Lie algebras induced from Lie algebras, we explore the subalgebra of quasi-derivations and give their properties. Moreover, we give a classification of the derivations algebras for low dimensional ternary Lie algebras.

For the class of n-BiHom Lie algebras, we study the algebras of generalized derivations and prove that the algebra of quasi-derivations can be embedded in the derivation algebra of a larger n-BiHom Lie algebra.
