Let $mathcal{L}$ be the derivation Lie algebra of ${mathbb C}[t_1^{pm 1},t_2^{pm 1}]$. Given a triangle decomposition $mathcal{L} =mathcal{L}^{+}oplusmathfrak{h}oplusmathcal{L}^{-}$, we define a nonsingular Lie algebra homomorphism $psi:mathcal{L}^
{+}rightarrowmathbb{C}$ and the universal Whittaker $mathcal{L}$-module $W_{psi}$ of type $psi$. We obtain all Whittaker vectors and submodules of $W_{psi}$, and all simple Whittaker $mathcal{L}$-modules of type $psi$.
$N$-derivation is the natural generalization of derivation and triple derivation. Let ${cal L}$ be a finitely generated Lie algebra graded by a finite dimensional Cartan subalgebra. In this paper, a sufficient condition for Lie $N$-derivation algebra
of ${cal L}$ coinciding with Lie derivation algebra of ${cal L}$ is given. As applications, any $N$-derivation of Schr{o}dinger-Virasoro algebra, generalized Witt algebras, Kac-Moody algebras and their Borel subalgebras, is a derivation.
Let $R$ be a commutative additively idempotent semiring. In this paper, some properties and characterizations for permanents of matrices over $R$ are established, and several inequalities for permanents are given. Also, the adjiont matrices of matrie
cs over $R$ are considered. Partial results obtained in this paper generalize the corresponding ones on fuzzy matrices, on lattice matrices and on incline matrices.
