Maximal ideal space of certain alpha-Lipschitz operator algebras

In a recent paper by A. Ebadian and A.A. Shokri [1], a α-Lipschitz operator from a compact metric space X into a unital bounded commutative Banach algebra B is defined. Let (X,d) be a nonempty compact metric space, 0 < α ~~≤ 1 and (B, || . ||) be a unital bounded commutative Banach algebra. Let Lip_α (X,B) be the algebra of all bounded continuous operators f: X → B such that [formula].In this work, we characterize the maximal ideal space of Lip_α (X,B).
