Keywords:
$L_\infty$ algebra; $A_\infty$ algebra; strong homotopy derivation
Summary:
We recall the definition of strong homotopy derivations of $A_\infty$ algebras and introduce the corresponding definition for $L_\infty$ algebras. We define strong homotopy inner derivations for both algebras and exhibit explicit examples of both.
