Abstract: In a recent paper by H. X. Cao, J. H. Zhang and Z. B. Xu an $\alpha $-Lipschitz operator from a compact metric space into a Banach space $A$ is defined and characterized in a natural way in the sence that $F:K\rightarrow A$ is a $\alpha $-Lipschitz operator if and only if for each $\sigma \in X^*$ the mapping $\sigma \circ F$ is a $\alpha $-Lipschitz function. The Lipschitz operators algebras $L^\alpha (K,A)$ and $l^\alpha (K,A)$ are developed here further, and we study their amenability and weak amenability of these algebras. Moreover, we prove an interesting result that $L^\alpha (K,A)$ and $l^\alpha (K,A)$ are isometrically isomorphic to $L^{\alpha }(K)\check{\otimes }A$ and $l^{\alpha }(K)\check{\otimes }A$ respectively. Also we study homomorphisms on the $L^\alpha _A(X,B)$.
