Apr 25, 2019 at 6:08 comment added Ali Taghavi @YemonChoi so it remains to consider the question for noncommutative algebras and their irreducible representation.
Apr 23, 2019 at 15:05 comment added Ali Taghavi @Ruy yes that is an interesting Idea.
Apr 23, 2019 at 11:00 comment added Ali Taghavi @YemonChoi So I understand my question for commutative case is trivial since the range of $D$ is contained in the kernel of all character. Thanks for your help.
Apr 22, 2019 at 23:39 comment added Ruy It might be more interesting to consider a densely defined derivation.

Apr 22, 2019 at 21:17 comment added Ali Taghavi Yes at the first part I mean commutative Banach algebras.
Apr 22, 2019 at 21:16 comment added Ali Taghavi @YemonChoi Very helpful comments
Apr 22, 2019 at 21:02 comment added Yemon Choi Finally: as soon as you are considering derivations from a commutative Banach algebra to itself, you should always have in mind the Singer-Wermer theorem (this can be found in the book of Bonsall-Duncan, or in the book of Dales)
Apr 22, 2019 at 21:00 comment added Yemon Choi In your second paragraph, you are trying to deduce behaviour of the iterates of $D$ from information defined in terms of the characters of $A$. What do you intend to do in cases where $A$ has a large Jacobson radical (which in the commutative case is the intersection of the kernels of characters)
Apr 22, 2019 at 20:59 comment added Yemon Choi In the first part of your question, with a general Banach algebra, are you assuming it is commutative? Because if not, the maximal ideal space could be empty.
