Abstract: In this article, a classification of all the (sigma,au)-derivations of group algebras is given in terms of the generators and relators of a group. If R is a commutative ring and G=langleXmidYangle is a group with X as its set of generators and Y as a set of relators, then a necessary and sufficient condition is developed for a map f:XightarrowRG to be uniquely extendable to a (sigma,au)-derivation D of RG, where (sigma,au) is a pair of endomorphisms of RG which are R-linear extensions of the group homomorphisms of G. It is also illustrated via a counterexample that the condition of commutativity of R is necessary and hence cannot be dropped. Amongst several results established as applications of the above proved results, a classification of all the sigma-derivations of commutative group algebras over a field of positive characteristic is given.
