Abstract: Let $R$ be an integral domain of characteristic zero, $x=(x_1,x_2,\mathrm{...},x_n)$ $n$ commutative free variables, and ${mathcalA}_n:=R[x^{-1},x]$, i.e., the Laurent polynomial algebra in $x$ over $R$. In this paper we first classify all locally finite or locally nilpotent $R$-derivations and $R$-$mathcalE$-derivations of ${mathcalA}_n$, where by an $R$-$mathcalE$-derivation of ${mathcalA}_n$ we mean an $R$-linear map of the form $operatorname{Id}_{{mathcalA}_n}-phi$ for some $R$-algebra endomorphism $phi$ of ${mathcalA}_n$. In particular, we show that ${mathcalA}_n$ has no nonzero locally nilpotent $R$-derivations or $R$-$mathcalE$-derivations. Consequently, the LNED conjecture proposed in [Z4] for ${mathcalA}_n$ follows. We then show some cases of the LFED conjecture proposed in [Z4] for ${mathcalA}_n$. In particular, we show that both the LFED and LNED conjectures hold for the Laurent polynomial algebras in one or two commutative free variables over a field of characteristic zero.
