Dynamical analysis of an ecological aquaculture management model with stage-structure and nonlinear impulsive releases for larval predators

1.   Introduction

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an associative algebra. For $A, B\in\mathcal{A}$, denote by $[A, B] = AB-BA$ the Lie product of $A$ and $B$. An additive (a linear) map $\delta: \mathcal{A}\rightarrow \mathcal{A}$ is called a global Lie triple derivation if $\delta([[A, B], C]) = [[\delta(A), B], C]+[[A, \delta(B)], C]+[[A, B], \delta(C)]$ for all $A, B, C\in \mathcal{A}$. The study of global Lie triple derivations on various algebras has attracted several authors' attention, see for example ^{[2,11,16,17,20]}. Next, let $\delta: \mathcal{A}\rightarrow \mathcal{A}$ be a map (without the additivity (linearity) assumption). $\delta$ is called a global nonlinear Lie triple derivation if $\delta$ satisfies $\delta([[A, B], C]) = [[\delta(A), B], C]+[[A, \delta(B)], C]+[[A, B], \delta(C)]$ for all $A, B, C\in \mathcal{A}$. Ji, Liu and Zhao ^[4] gave the concrete form of global nonlinear Lie triple derivations on triangular algebras. Chen and Xiao ^[3] investigated global nonlinear Lie triple derivations on parabolic subalgebras of finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras. Very recently, Zhao and Hao ^[21] paid attention to non-global nonlinear Lie triple derivations. Let $F:\mathcal{A}\times \mathcal{A}\times \mathcal{A}\rightarrow \mathcal{A}$ be a map and $\mathcal{Q}$ be a proper subset of $\mathcal{A}$. $\delta$ is called a non-global nonlinear Lie triple derivation if $\delta$ satisfies $\delta([[A, B], C]) = [[\delta(A), B], C]+[[A, \delta(B)], C]+[[A, B], \delta(C)]$ for any $A, B, C\in \mathcal{A}$ with $F(A, B, C)\in\mathcal{Q}$. Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a finite von Neumann algebra with no central summands of type $I_{1}$. Zhao and Hao ^[21] proved that if $\delta: \mathcal{M}\rightarrow \mathcal{M}$ satisfies $\delta([[A, B], C]) = [[\delta(A), B], C]+[[A, \delta(B)], C]+[[A, B], \delta(C)]$ for any $A, B, C\in \mathcal{M}$ with $ABC = 0$, then $\delta = d+\tau$, where $d$ is a derivation from $\mathcal{M}$ into itself and $\tau$ is a nonlinear map from $\mathcal{M}$ into its center such that $\tau([[A, B], C]) = 0$ with $ABC = 0$.

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an associative $\ast$-algebra. For $A, B\in\mathcal{A}$, denote by $[A, B]_{\ast} = AB-BA^{\ast}$ the skew Lie product of $A$ and $B$. The skew Lie product arose in representability of quadratic functionals by sesquilinear functionals ^[12,13]. In recent years, the study related to skew Lie product has attracted some authors' attention, see for example ^{[1,5,6,7,8,9,10,14,15,18,19,22]} and references therein. A map $\delta: \mathcal{A}\rightarrow \mathcal{A}$ (without the additivity (linearity) assumption) is called a global nonlinear skew Lie triple derivation if $\delta([[A, B]_{\ast}, C]_{\ast}) = [[\delta(A), B]_{\ast}, C]_{\ast}+[[A, \delta(B)]_{\ast}, C]_{\ast}+[[A, B]_{\ast}, \delta(C)]_{\ast}$ for all $A, B, C\in \mathcal{A}$. A map $\delta: \mathcal{A}\rightarrow \mathcal{A}$ is called an additive $\ast$-derivation if it is an additive derivation and satisfies $\delta(A^{\ast}) = \delta(A)^{\ast}$ for all $A\in \mathcal{A}$. Li, Zhao and Chen ^[5] proved that every global nonlinear skew Lie triple derivation on factor von Neumann algebras is an additive $\ast$-derivation. Taghavi, Nouri and Darvish ^[15] proved that every global nonlinear skew Lie triple derivation on prime $\ast$-algebras is additive. Similarly, let $F:\mathcal{A}\times \mathcal{A}\times \mathcal{A}\rightarrow \mathcal{A}$ be a map and $\mathcal{Q}$ be a proper subset of $\mathcal{A}$. If $\delta$ satisfies $\delta([[A, B]_{\ast}, C]_{\ast}) = [[\delta(A), B]_{\ast}, C]_{\ast}+[[A, \delta(B)]_{\ast}, C]_{\ast}+[[A, B]_{\ast}, \delta(C)]_{\ast}$ for any $A, B, C\in \mathcal{A}$ with $F(A, B, C)\in\mathcal{Q}$, then $\delta$ is called a non-global nonlinear skew Lie triple derivation.

Motivated by the mentioned works, we will concentrate on characterizing a kind of non-global nonlinear skew Lie triple derivations $\delta$ on factor von Neumann algebras satisfying $\delta([[A, B]_{\ast}, C]_{\ast}) = [[\delta(A), B]_{\ast}, C]_{\ast}+[[A, \delta(B)]_{\ast}, C]_{\ast}+[[A, B]_{\ast}, \delta(C)]_{\ast}$ for any $A, B, C\in \mathcal{A}$ with $A^{\ast}B^{\ast}C = 0$.

As usual, $\mathbb{C}$ denotes the complex number field. Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space and $B(H)$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H$. Let $\mathcal{A}\subseteq B(H)$ be a factor von Neumann algebra (i.e., the center of $\mathcal{A}$ is $\mathbb{C}I$, where $I$ is the identity of $\mathcal{A}$). Recall that $\mathcal{A}$ is prime (i.e., for any $A, B\in \mathcal{A}$, $A\mathcal{A}B = \{0\}$ implies $A = 0$ or $B = 0$).

2.   Main result

The main result is the following theorem.

Theorem 2.1. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a factor von Neumann algebra acting on a complex Hilbert space $H$ with dim$\mathcal{A} > 1$. If a map $\delta: \mathcal{A}\rightarrow \mathcal{A}$ satisfies

for any $A, B, C\in \mathcal{A}$ with $A^{\ast}B^{\ast}C = 0$, then $\delta$ is an additive $\ast$-derivation.

Let $P_{1}\in \mathcal{A}$ be a nontrivial projection. Write $P_{2} = I-P_{1}$, ${\mathcal{A}}_{ij} = P_{i}{\mathcal{A}}P_{j}$ $(i, j = 1, 2)$. Then $\mathcal{A} = {\mathcal{A}}_{11}+{\mathcal{A}}_{12}+{\mathcal{A}}_{21}+{\mathcal{A}}_{22}$. For any $A\in \mathcal{A}$, $A = A_{11}+A_{12}+A_{21}+A_{22}$, $A_{ij}\in$ ${\mathcal A}_{ij}$ $(i, j = 1, 2)$.

Lemma 2.1. (a) $\delta(P_i)^{\ast} = \delta(P_i)$ $(i = 1, 2)$;

(b) $P_i\delta(P_i)P_j = -P_i\delta(P_j)P_j$ $(1\leq i\neq j\leq 2)$.

Proof. (a) It is clear that $\delta(0) = 0$. For any $X_{21}\in\mathcal{A}_{21}$, it follows from $P_1^{\ast}P_1^{\ast}X_{21} = 0$ and $[[P_1, P_1]_{\ast}, X_{21}]_{\ast} = 0$ that

Multiplying (2.1) by $P_2$ from the left and by $P_1$ from the right, we have $X_{21}(\delta(P_1)P_1-\delta(P_1)^{\ast}P_1) = 0$. Then by the primeness of $\mathcal{A}$, we get

By $P_1^{\ast} P_2^{\ast} P_2 = 0$ and $[[P_1, P_2]_{\ast}, P_2]_{\ast} = 0$, we have

Multiplying (2.3) by $P_2$ from both sides, we see that

From $P_1^{\ast} P_1^{\ast} P_2 = 0$ and $[[P_1, P_1]_{\ast}, P_2]_{\ast} = 0$, we have

Multiplying (2.5) by $P_1$ from the left and by $P_2$ from the right, then

Multiplying (2.5) by $P_2$ from the left and by $P_1$ from the right, then

It follows from (2.2), (2.4), (2.6) and (2.7) that $\delta(P_1)^{\ast} = \delta(P_1)$. Similarly, we can obtain that $\delta(P_2)^{\ast} = \delta(P_2)$.

(b) From $P_2^{\ast} P_1^{\ast} P_2 = 0$ and $[[P_2, P_1]_{\ast}, P_2]_{\ast} = 0$, we have

Multiplying (2.8) by $P_1$ from the left and by $P_2$ from the right, we have $P_1\delta(P_1)P_2 = -P_1\delta(P_2)^{\ast}P_2.$ Then $P_1\delta(P_1)P_2 = -P_1\delta(P_2)P_2$ by (a). Similarly, we can obtain that $P_2\delta(P_2)P_1 = -P_2\delta(P_1)P_1$.

Lemma 2.2. For any $A_{ij}\in\mathcal{A}_{ij}$ $(1\leq i\neq j\leq 2)$, we have

Proof. Let $A_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}$. For any $X_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}$, since $A_{12}^{\ast}X_{12}^{\ast}P_2 = 0$ and $[[A_{12}, X_{12}]_{\ast}, P_{2}]_{\ast} = 0$, we have

Multiplying (2.9) by $P_2$ from both sides, we have

Replacing $X_{12}$ with $iX_{12}$ in (2.10) yields that

Combining (2.10) and (2.11), we see that $P_2\delta(A_{12})X_{12} = 0$. Then $P_2\delta(A_{12})P_1 = 0$ by the primeness of $\mathcal{A}$. Similarly, we can obtain that $P_1\delta(A_{21})P_2 = 0$.

Lemma 2.3. For any $A_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}, B_{21}\in\mathcal{A}_{21}$, there exist $G_{A_{12}, B_{21}} \in\mathcal{A}_{11}, K_{A_{12}, B_{21}}\in\mathcal{A}_{22}$ such that

Proof. Let $T = \delta(A_{12}+B_{21})-\delta(A_{12})-\delta(B_{21})$. From $P_2^{\ast} (A_{12}+B_{21})^{\ast} P_{2} = P_2^{\ast} A_{12}^{\ast} P_{2} = P_2^{\ast} B_{21}^{\ast} P_{2} = 0$ and $[[P_2, B_{21}]_{\ast}, P_{2}]_{\ast} = 0$, we have

which implies

Multiplying (2.12) by $P_1$ from the left, we get $T_{12} = 0$. Similarly, $T_{21} = 0$. Let

Then $G_{A_{12}, B_{21}} \in\mathcal{A}_{11}, K_{A_{12}, B_{21}}\in\mathcal{A}_{22}$, and so $\delta(A_{12}+B_{21}) = \delta(A_{12})+\delta(B_{21})+G_{A_{12}, B_{21}}+K_{A_{12}, B_{21}}.$

Lemma 2.4. (a) $P_j\delta(P_i)P_j = 0$ $(1\leq i\neq j\leq 2)$;

(b) $P_i\delta(P_i)P_i = 0$ $(i = 1, 2)$.

Proof. (a) For any $X_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}$, since $P_1^{\ast} X_{12}^{\ast} P_{1} = 0$ and $[[P_1, X_{12}]_{\ast}, P_1]_{\ast} = 0$, we have

Multiplying (2.13) by $P_1$ from the left and by $P_2$ from the right, we have

It follows from Lemma 2.2 that $X_{12}\delta(P_1)P_2 = -(P_2\delta(X_{12})P_1)^{\ast} = 0.$ Then $P_2\delta(P_1)P_2 = 0$. Similarly, $P_1\delta(P_2)P_1 = 0$.

(b) For any $X_{21}\in\mathcal{A}_{21}$, from $(iX_{21})^{\ast} P_1^{\ast} P_{1} = 0$, $[[iX_{21}, P_1]_{\ast}, P_1]_{\ast} = iX_{21}^{\ast}+iX_{21}$, Lemma 2.1(a) and Lemma 2.3, there exist $G_{iX_{21}^{\ast}, iX_{21}} \in\mathcal{A}_{11}, K_{iX_{21}^{\ast}, iX_{21}}\in\mathcal{A}_{22}$ such that

Multiplying (2.14) by $P_2$ from the left and by $P_1$ from the right, we have

By (2.15), Lemma 2.2 and the fact that $P_2\delta(P_1)P_2 = 0$, we obtain $X_{21}\delta(P_1)P_1 = 0$. Then $P_1\delta(P_1)P_1 = 0$. Similarly, $P_2\delta(P_2)P_2 = 0$.

Remark 2.1. Let $S = P_1\delta(P_1)P_2-P_2\delta(P_1)P_1$. Then $S^{\ast} = -S$ by Lemma 2.1. We define a map $\Delta: \mathcal{A}\rightarrow \mathcal{A}$ by

for any $X\in\mathcal{A}$. It is easy to verify that $\Delta$ is a map satisfying

for any $A, B, C\in \mathcal{A}$ with $A^{\ast}B^{\ast}C = 0$. By Lemmas 2.1–2.4, it follows that

${\rm{ (a) }}$ $\Delta(P_i) = 0$ $(i = 1, 2)$;

${\rm{ (b) }}$ For any $A_{ij}\in\mathcal{A}_{ij}$ $(1\leq i\neq j\leq 2)$, we have $P_j\Delta(A_{ij})P_i = 0$;

${\rm{(c)}}$ For any $A_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}, B_{21}\in\mathcal{A}_{21}$, there exist $U_{A_{12}, B_{21}} \in\mathcal{A}_{11}, V_{A_{12}, B_{21}}\in\mathcal{A}_{22}$ such that

Lemma 2.5. $\Delta(\mathcal{A}_{ii})\subseteq\mathcal{A}_{ii}$ $(i = 1, 2)$.

Proof. Let $A_{11}\in\mathcal{A}_{11}$. From $A_{11}^{\ast}P_2^{\ast}P_2 = 0$, $[[A_{11}, P_2]_{\ast}, P_2]_{\ast} = 0$ and $\Delta(P_2) = 0$, we have

Multiplying (2.16) by $P_1$ from the left, we get $P_1\Delta(A_{11})P_2 = 0$. Since $P_2^{\ast}A_{11}^{\ast}P_1 = 0$, $[[P_2, A_{11}]_{\ast}, P_1]_{\ast} = 0$ and $\Delta(P_1) = \Delta(P_2) = 0$, we have

Multiplying (2.17) by $P_2$ from the left, we get $P_2\Delta(A_{11})P_1 = 0$. For any $X_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}$, from $X_{12}^{\ast}A_{11}^{\ast}P_2 = 0$, $[[X_{12}, A_{11}]_{\ast}, P_{2}]_{\ast} = 0$ and $\Delta(P_{2}) = 0$, we have

Multiplying (2.18) by $P_1$ from the left, we get $-A_{11}\Delta(X_{12})^{\ast}P_{2}+X_{12}\Delta(A_{11})P_{2} = 0$. It follows from Remark 2.1(b) that $X_{12}\Delta(A_{11})P_{2} = A_{11}(P_{2}\Delta(X_{12})P_{1})^{\ast} = 0.$ Then $P_2\Delta(A_{11})P_{2} = 0$. Hence $\Delta(\mathcal{A}_{11})\subseteq\mathcal{A}_{11}$. Similarly, $\Delta(\mathcal{A}_{22})\subseteq\mathcal{A}_{22}$.

Lemma 2.6. $\Delta(\mathcal{A}_{ij})\subseteq\mathcal{A}_{ij}$ $(1\leq i\neq j\leq 2)$.

Proof. Let $A_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}$. Then $P_2\Delta(A_{12})P_{1} = 0$ by Remark 2.1(b). For any $X_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}$, from $X_{12}^{\ast}A_{12}^{\ast}P_1 = 0$ and $\Delta(P_{1}) = 0$, we have

Multiplying (2.19) by $P_2$ from the left and by $P_1$ from the right, then by Lemma 2.5, we get $P_2\Delta(A_{12})X_{12}^{\ast} = 0$. Hence $P_2\Delta(A_{12})P_{2} = 0$. Since $A_{12}^{\ast}X_{12}^{\ast}P_2 = 0$, $[[A_{12}, X_{12}]_{\ast}, P_{2}]_{\ast} = 0$ and $\Delta(P_{2}) = 0$, we have

Multiplying (2.20) by $P_1$ from the left and by $P_2$ from the right, then by $P_2\Delta(A_{12})P_{2} = P_2\Delta(X_{12})P_{2} = 0$, we have $P_{1}\Delta(A_{12})X_{12} = 0$. It follows that $P_1\Delta(A_{12})P_{1} = 0$. Therefore $\Delta(\mathcal{A}_{12})\subseteq\mathcal{A}_{12}$. Similarly, $\Delta(\mathcal{A}_{21})\subseteq\mathcal{A}_{21}$.

Lemma 2.7. For any $A_{ii}\in\mathcal{A}_{ii}, B_{ij}\in\mathcal{A}_{ij}, B_{ji}\in\mathcal{A}_{ji}$ $(1\leq i\neq j\leq 2)$, we have

(a) $\Delta(A_{ii}+B_{ij}) = \Delta(A_{ii})+\Delta(B_{ij})$;

(b) $\Delta(A_{ii}+B_{ji}) = \Delta(A_{ii})+\Delta(B_{ji})$.

Proof. (a) Let $T = \Delta(A_{ii}+B_{ij})-\Delta(A_{ii})-\Delta(B_{ij})$. Since $(iP_{j})^{\ast}I^{\ast}(A_{ii}+B_{ij}) = (iP_{j})^{\ast}I^{\ast}A_{ii} = (iP_{j})^{\ast}I^{\ast}B_{ij} = 0$ and $[[iP_{j}, I]_{\ast}, A_{ii}]_{\ast} = 0$, we have

which implies

Multiplying (2.21) by $P_i$ from the left, by $P_i$ from the right, by $P_j$ from both sides, respectively, we get $T_{ij} = T_{ji} = T_{jj} = 0$. Hence

For any $X_{ij}\in\mathcal{A}_{ij}$, from $(A_{ii}+B_{ij})^{\ast}X_{ij}^{\ast}P_j = A_{ii}^{\ast}X_{ij}^{\ast}P_j = B_{ij}^{\ast}X_{ij}^{\ast}P_j = 0$, $[[B_{ij}, X_{ij}]_{\ast}, P_{j}]_{\ast} = 0$ and (2.22), we have

This implies

Multiplying (2.23) by $P_j$ from the right, we see that $T_{ii}X_{ij} = 0$. Hence $T_{ii} = 0$, and so we obtain (a).

Similarly, we can show that (b) holds.

Lemma 2.8. For any $A_{ij}, B_{ij}\in\mathcal{A}_{ij}$ $(1\leq i\neq j\leq 2)$, we have

Proof. For any $A_{12}, B_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}$, it follows that

Then by (2.24) and Remark 2.1(c), there exist $U_{A_{12}+B_{12}, -A_{12}^{\ast}-B_{12}^{\ast}} \in\mathcal{A}_{11}$, $V_{A_{12}+B_{12}, -A_{12}^{\ast}-B_{12}^{\ast}}$ $\in\mathcal{A}_{22}$ such that

From $(P_1+A_{12})^{\ast}(P_2+B_{12})^{\ast}P_2 = 0$, $\Delta(P_1) = \Delta(P_2) = 0$, (2.25), Lemmas 2.6 and 2.7, we have

Multiplying (2.26) by $P_1$ from the left and by $P_2$ from the right, then by Lemma 2.6 and the fact that $U_{A_{12}+B_{12}, -A_{12}^{\ast}-B_{12}^{\ast}} \in\mathcal{A}_{11}, V_{A_{12}+B_{12}, -A_{12}^{\ast}-B_{12}^{\ast}}\in\mathcal{A}_{22}$, we see that $\Delta(A_{12}+B_{12}) = \Delta(A_{12})+\Delta(B_{12})$. Similarly, we can show that $\Delta(A_{21}+B_{21}) = \Delta(A_{21})+\Delta(B_{21})$.

Lemma 2.9. For any $A_{ii}, B_{ii}\in\mathcal{A}_{ii}$ $(i = 1, 2)$, we have

Proof. For any $A_{11}, B_{11}\in\mathcal{A}_{11}, B_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}$, from $A_{11}^{\ast}B_{12}^{\ast}P_2 = 0$, $\Delta(P_2) = 0$, $[[A_{11}, B_{12}]_{\ast}, P_2]_{\ast} = A_{11}B_{12}-B_{12}^{\ast}A_{11}^{\ast}$, Lemmas 2.5, 2.6 and 2.8, we have

Multiplying (2.27) by $P_1$ from the left and by $P_2$ from the right, we have

Similarly, we can show that

For any $X_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}$, it follows from Lemma 2.8 and (2.28) that

It follows that $(\Delta(A_{11}+B_{11})-\Delta(A_{11})-\Delta(B_{11}))X_{12} = 0$. Then $\Delta(A_{11}+B_{11}) = \Delta(A_{11})+\Delta(B_{11})$. Similarly, we can show that $\Delta(A_{22}+B_{22}) = \Delta(A_{22})+\Delta(B_{22})$.

Lemma 2.10. For any $A_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}, B_{21}\in\mathcal{A}_{21}$, we have

Proof. For any $X_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}$, by $X_{12}^{\ast}(A_{12}+B_{21})^{\ast}P_1 = X_{12}^{\ast}A_{12}^{\ast}P_1 = X_{12}^{\ast}B_{21}^{\ast}P_1 = 0$,

Remark 2.1(c) and Lemma 2.9, there exist $U_{A_{12}, B_{21}} \in\mathcal{A}_{11}, V_{A_{12}, B_{21}}\in\mathcal{A}_{22}$ such that

Then

Multiplying (2.30) by $P_1$ from the right, we get $V_{A_{12}, B_{21}}X_{12}^{\ast} = 0$. Hence $V_{A_{12}, B_{21}} = 0$. Then by Remark 2.1(c), we get

For any $X_{21}\in\mathcal{A}_{21}$, from $X_{21}^{\ast}(A_{12}+B_{21})^{\ast}P_2 = X_{21}^{\ast}A_{12}^{\ast}P_2 = X_{21}^{\ast}B_{21}^{\ast}P_2 = 0$,

Lemma 2.9 and (2.31), we have

which implies

Multiplying (2.32) by $P_2$ from the right, we obtain $U_{A_{12}, B_{21}}X_{21}^{\ast} = 0$. Then $U_{A_{12}, B_{21}} = 0$. Hence we obtain the desired result.

Lemma 2.11. For any $A_{11}\in\mathcal{A}_{11}, B_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}, C_{21}\in\mathcal{A}_{21}, D_{22}\in\mathcal{A}_{22}$, we have

(a) $\Delta(A_{11}+B_{12}+ C_{21}) = \Delta(A_{11})+\Delta(B_{12})+\Delta(C_{21})$;

(b) $\Delta(B_{12}+ C_{21}+D_{22}) = \Delta(B_{12})+\Delta(C_{21})+\Delta(D_{22})$.

Proof. (a) Let $T = \Delta(A_{11}+B_{12}+ C_{21})-\Delta(A_{11})-\Delta(B_{12})-\Delta(C_{21})$. From $P_2^{\ast}(A_{11}+B_{12}+ C_{21})^{\ast}P_2 = P_2^{\ast}A_{11}^{\ast}P_2 = P_2^{\ast}B_{12}^{\ast}P_2 = P_2^{\ast}C_{21}^{\ast}P_2 = 0$ and $[[P_2, A_{11}]_{\ast}, P_2]_{\ast} = [[P_2, C_{21}]_{\ast}, P_2]_{\ast} = 0$, we have

This implies

Multiplying (2.33) by $P_1$ from the left, we have $T_{12} = 0$. For any $X_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}$, from $P_1^{\ast}X_{12}^{\ast}(A_{11}+B_{12}+ C_{21}) =$$P_1^{\ast}X_{12}^{\ast}A_{11} = P_1^{\ast}X_{12}^{\ast}B_{12} = P_1^{\ast}X_{12}^{\ast}C_{21} = 0$, $[[P_1, X_{12}]_{\ast}, A_{11}+B_{12}+ C_{21}]_{\ast} = X_{12}C_{21}-B_{12}X_{12}^{\ast}$ and Lemma 2.9, we have

which implies

Multiplying (2.34) by $P_1$ from both sides, we obtain $X_{12}TP_1-P_1TX_{12}^{\ast} = 0$. Then $X_{12}TP_1 = 0$ by $T_{12} = 0$. Hence $T_{21} = 0$. Multiplying (2.34) by $P_2$ from the right, we have $X_{12}TP_2 = 0$ and so $T_{22} = 0$. Let $S_{A_{11}, B_{12}, C_{21}} = T_{11}$. Then $S_{A_{11}, B_{12}, C_{21}}\in \mathcal{A}_{11}$ and

Similarly, there exists a $R_{B_{12}, C_{21}, D_{22}}\in \mathcal{A}_{22}$ such that

For any $X_{21}\in\mathcal{A}_{21}$, by $[[P_2, X_{21}]_{\ast}, A_{11}+B_{12}+ C_{21}]_{\ast} =$$-A_{11}X_{21}^{\ast}+X_{21}A_{11}+X_{21}B_{12}-C_{21}X_{21}^{\ast}$ and (2.35), there exist a $R_{-A_{11}X_{21}^{\ast}, X_{21}A_{11}, X_{21}B_{12}-C_{21}X_{21}^{\ast}}\in \mathcal{A}_{22}$ such that

From $P_2^{\ast}X_{21}^{\ast}(A_{11}+B_{12}+ C_{21}) = P_2^{\ast}X_{21}^{\ast}A_{11} =$$P_2^{\ast}X_{21}^{\ast}B_{12} = P_2^{\ast}X_{21}^{\ast}C_{21} = 0$, (2.36), Lemmas 2.9 and 2.10, we have

It follows that

Multiplying (2.37) by $P_1$ from the right, then by $R_{-A_{11}X_{21}^{\ast}, X_{21}A_{11}, X_{21}B_{12}-C_{21}X_{21}^{\ast}}\in \mathcal{A}_{22}$, we obtain $X_{21}TP_1 = 0$. Hence $S_{A_{11}, B_{12}, C_{21}} = T_{11} = 0$, and so $\Delta(A_{11}+B_{12}+ C_{21}) = \Delta(A_{11})+\Delta(B_{12})+\Delta(C_{21})$.

Similarly, we can show that (b) holds.

Lemma 2.12. For any $A_{11}\in\mathcal{A}_{11}, B_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}, C_{21}\in\mathcal{A}_{21}, D_{22}\in\mathcal{A}_{22}$, we have

Proof. Let $T = \Delta(A_{11}+B_{12}+ C_{21}+D_{22})-$$\Delta(A_{11})-\Delta(B_{12})-\Delta(C_{21})-\Delta(D_{22})$. From $(A_{11}+B_{12}+ C_{21}+D_{22})^{\ast}P_1^{\ast}P_2 = A_{11}^{\ast}P_1^{\ast}P_2 =$$B_{12}^{\ast}P_1^{\ast}P_2 = C_{21}^{\ast}P_1^{\ast}P_2 =$$D_{22}^{\ast}P_1^{\ast}P_2 = 0$ and $[[A_{11}+B_{12}+ C_{21}+D_{22}, P_1]_{\ast}, P_2]_{\ast} =$$-C_{21}^{\ast}+C_{21}$, we have

This implies

Multiplying (2.38) by $P_2$ from the left, we have $T_{21} = 0$. Similarly, $T_{12} = 0$. For any $X_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}$, from $P_1^{\ast}X_{12}^{\ast}(A_{11}+B_{12}+ C_{21}+D_{22}) =$$P_1^{\ast}X_{12}^{\ast}A_{11} =$$P_1^{\ast}X_{12}^{\ast}B_{12} =$$P_1^{\ast}X_{12}^{\ast}C_{21} =$$P_1^{\ast}X_{12}^{\ast}D_{22} = 0$, $[[P_1, X_{12}]_{\ast}, A_{11}+B_{12}+ C_{21}+D_{22}]_{\ast} =$$X_{12}C_{21}-B_{12}X_{12}^{\ast}+X_{12}D_{22}-D_{22}X_{12}^{\ast},$ Lemmas 2.9 and 2.12, we have

This implies

Multiplying (2.39) by $P_2$ from the right, we obtain $X_{12}TP_2 = 0$. Then $T_{22} = 0$. Similarly, $T_{11} = 0$. Hence we obtain the desired result.

Lemma 2.13. For any $A_{ii}, B_{ii}\in\mathcal{A}_{ii}, A_{ij}, B_{ij}\in\mathcal{A}_{ij}, B_{ji}\in\mathcal{A}_{ji}, B_{jj}\in\mathcal{A}_{jj}$ $(1\leq i\neq j\leq 2)$, we have

(a) $\Delta(A_{ii}B_{ij}) = \Delta(A_{ii})B_{ij}+A_{ii}\Delta(B_{ij})$;

(b) $\Delta(A_{ij}B_{jj}) = \Delta(A_{ij})B_{jj}+A_{ij}\Delta(B_{jj})$;

(c) $\Delta(A_{ii}B_{ii}) = \Delta(A_{ii})B_{ii}+A_{ii}\Delta(B_{ii})$;

(d) $\Delta(A_{ij}B_{ji}) = \Delta(A_{ij})B_{ji}+A_{ij}\Delta(B_{ji})$.

Proof. (a) It follows from (2.28) and (2.29) that (a) holds.

(b) Let $A_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}, B_{22}\in\mathcal{A}_{22}$. From $A_{12}^{\ast}B_{22}^{\ast}P_2 = 0$, $\Delta(P_2) = 0$, $[[A_{12}, B_{22}]_{\ast}, P_2]_{\ast} = A_{12}B_{22}-B_{22}^{\ast}A_{12}^{\ast}$, Lemmas 2.5, 2.6 and 2.12, we have

Multiplying (2.40) by $P_1$ from the left and by $P_2$ from the right, we have $\Delta(A_{12}B_{22}) = \Delta(A_{12})B_{22}+A_{12}\Delta(B_{22}).$ Similarly, $\Delta(A_{21}B_{11}) = \Delta(A_{21})B_{11}+A_{21}\Delta(B_{11}).$

(c) Let $A_{11}, B_{11}\in\mathcal{A}_{11}, X_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}$. It follows from (a) that

It follows that $(\Delta(A_{11}B_{11})-\Delta(A_{11})B_{11}-A_{11}\Delta(B_{11}))X_{12} = 0$. Hence $\Delta(A_{11}B_{11}) = \Delta(A_{11})B_{11}+A_{11}\Delta(B_{11})$. Similarly, $\Delta(A_{22}B_{22}) = \Delta(A_{22})B_{22}+A_{22}\Delta(B_{22})$.

(d) Let $A_{12}\in\mathcal{A}_{12}, B_{21}\in\mathcal{A}_{21}$. From $B_{21}^{\ast}P_{1}^{\ast}A_{12} = 0$, $\Delta(P_1) = 0$, $[[B_{21}, P_{1}]_{\ast}, A_{12}]_{\ast} = B_{21}A_{12}+A_{12}B_{21}$, Lemmas 2.6 and 2.12, we have

Multiplying (2.41) by $P_1$ from both sides, we have $\Delta(A_{12}B_{21}) = \Delta(A_{12})B_{21}+A_{12}\Delta(B_{21}).$ Similarly, $\Delta(A_{21}B_{12}) = \Delta(A_{21})B_{12}+A_{21}\Delta(B_{12}).$

Now, we give the proof of Theorem 2.1 in the following.

Proof of Theorem 2.1. By Lemmas 2.5, 2.6, 2.8, 2.9, 2.12 and 2.13, it is easy to verify that $\Delta$ is an additive derivation on $\mathcal{A}$. Let $A_{ij}\in\mathcal{A}_{ij}$ $(1\leq i\neq j\leq 2)$. By $A_{ij}^{\ast}P_{j}^{\ast}P_{j} = 0$, $\Delta(P_j) = 0$ and Lemma 2.6, we have

It follows that

Let $A_{ii}\in\mathcal{A}_{ii}$, $X_{ji}\in\mathcal{A}_{ji}$ $(1\leq i\neq j\leq 2)$. Since $A_{ii}^{\ast}P_{i}^{\ast}X_{ji} = 0$, $\Delta(P_i) = 0$, $[[A_{ii}, P_{i}]_{\ast}, X_{ji}]_{\ast} = X_{ji}A_{ii}-X_{ji}A_{ii}^{\ast}$, Lemmas 2.5, 2.6 and 2.13(b), we have

It follows that $X_{ji}(\Delta(A_{ii}^{\ast})-\Delta(A_{ii})^{\ast}) = 0$. Then

For any $A\in\mathcal{A}$, we have $A = \sum_{i, j = 1}^{2}A_{ij}$. By (2.42), (2.43) and the additivity of $\Delta$ on $\mathcal{A}$, it follows that

Hence $\Delta$ is an additive $\ast$-derivation. Therefore, $\delta$ is an additive $\ast$-derivation on $\mathcal{A}$ by Remark 2.1.
