Abstract

For certain Fréchet convolution algebras associated with a weight w on the half-line [0, ∞), we are interested in the question of which Radon measures on [0, ∞) determine the derivations on the algebra. For particular weights, we show that the derivations are determined by those measures in the multiplier algebra of the original algebra. However, we also give an example of a weight for which that characterization fails. The results show a connection between the space of derivations and the behaviour for large y of the ratio w(x + y)/w(x) w(y).
