Description:
The class of Novikov algebras is a popular object of study among classical nonassociative algebras. A generic example of a Novikov algebra may be constructed from an associative and commutative algebra A with a derivation d: it is enough to consider the operation a ? b = ad(b), a, b ? A, on the same space A. We consider a more general class of linear algebras which may be obtained in the same way from not necessarily commutative associative algebras with a derivation.
