Let \(\mathcal {N}\) be a non-trivial nest on a Hilbert space H and \(\textrm{alg}\mathcal {N}\) be the associated nest algebra. Let \(G\in \textrm{alg}\mathcal {N}\) be an operator with \(\overline{\textrm{ran}(G)}\in \mathcal {N}\backslash \{H\}\) . In this note, we give a description of Lie derivable maps and generalized Lie 2-derivable maps at G of nest algebra \(\textrm{alg}\mathcal {N}\) .
