We prove that for every group G and any two sets I, J , the Brandt semigroup algebras l(B(I,G)) and l(B(J,G)) are Morita equivalent with respect to the Morita theory of selfinduced Banach algebras introduced by Grønbæk. As applications, we show that if G is an amenable group, then for a wide class of Banach l(B(I,G))-bimodules E, and every n > 0, the bounded Hochschild cohomology groups H(l(B(I...

We utilize the notion of module extension to reduce the problem of stability of derivations to that of ring homomorphisms studied by R. Badora in the context of Banach bimodules over Banach algebras. AMS subject classifications: Primary 39B82; Secondary 39B52, 46H25
