let $mathcal m$ be a factor von neumann algebra. it is shown that every nonlinear $*$-lie higher derivation$d={phi_{n}}_{ninmathbb{n}}$ on $mathcal m$ is additive. in particular, if $mathcal m$ is infinite type $i$factor, a concrete characterization of $d$ is given.

let h be an infinite--dimensional hilbert space and k(h) be the set of all compact operators on h. we will adopt spectral theorem for compact self-adjoint operators, to investigate of higher derivation and higher jordan derivation on k(h) associated with the following cauchy-jencen type functional equation 2f(frac{t+s}{2}+r)=f(t)+f(s)+2f(r) for all t,s,rin k(h).
