Abstract
Let L be a locally compact Hausdorff space. Suppose A is a \(\hbox {C}^*\)-algebra with the property that every weak-2-local derivation on A is a (linear) derivation. We prove that every weak-2-local derivation on \(C_0(L,A)\) is a (linear) derivation. Among the consequences we establish that if B is an atomic von Neumann algebra or a compact \(\hbox {C}^*\)-algebra, then every weak-2-local derivation on \(C_0(L,B)\) is a linear derivation. We further show that, for a general von Neumann algebra M, every 2-local derivation on \(C_0(L,M)\) is a linear derivation. We also prove several results representing derivations on \(C_0(L,B(H))\) and on \(C_0(L,K(H))\) as inner derivations determined by multipliers.
