Abstract
In a recent paper by Zhao and the author, the Lie algebras of Weyl type were defined and studied, where is a commutative associative algebra with an identity element over a field of any characteristic, and is the polynomial algebra of a commutative derivation subalgebra of . In the present paper, the 2-cocycles of a class of the above Lie algebras (which are called the Lie algebras of generalized differential operators in the present paper), with being a field of characteristic 0, are determined. Among all the 2-cocycles, there is a special one which seems interesting. Using this 2-cocycle, the central extension of the Lie algebra is defined.
