Let \(\mathbb D\) be the open unit disk in the complex plane. An analytic function \(f\) on \(\mathbb D\) is said to belong to \(\alpha\)-Bloch space \(\mathcal B^\alpha\) if \(\| f\| _{\mathcal B_\alpha}:=\sup_{z\in\mathbb D} (1-| z| ^2)^\alpha| f'(z)| <\infty\). The little \(\alpha\)-Bloch space \({\mathcal B}^\alpha_0\) is the subspace of \(\mathcal B^\alpha\) consisting of all \(f\in\mathcal B^\alpha\) for which \((1-| z| ^2)^\alpha| f'(z)| \to 0\) as \(| z| \to 1\). These spaces are Banach spaces. Given an analytic self-map \(\varphi\) of \(\mathbb D\), let \(C_\varphi\) denote the composition operator defined by \(C_\varphi f= f\circ \varphi\) for analytic functions \(f\) on \(\mathbb D\). Also, let \(D=\partial/\partial z\) be the complex differentiation operator. In this paper, the authors obtain characterizations for the boundedness and compactness of \(DC_\varphi:{\mathcal B}^\alpha\to{\mathcal B}^\beta\). They also obtain a characterization for the compactness of \(DC_\varphi:{\mathcal B}^\alpha\to{\mathcal B}_{0}^\beta\).
