Abstract: The class of Lambert series generating functions (LGFs) denoted by $L_{alpha}(q)$ formally enumerate the generalized sum-of-divisors functions, $sigm{a}_{alpha}(n)=su{m}_{d|n}{d}^{alpha}$, for all integers $ngeq1$ and fixed real-valued parameters $alphageq0$. We prove new formulas expanding the higher-order derivatives of these LGFs. The results we obtain are combined to express new identities expanding the generalized sum-of-divisors functions. These new identities are expanded in the form of sums of polynomially scaled multiples of a related class of divisor sums depending on $n$ and $alpha$.
