Piecewise Hereditary Nakayama Algebras

Let k be an algebraically closed field. Let Λ be the path algebra over k of the linearly oriented quiver \mathbb A_n\mathbb A_n for n ≥ 3. For r ≥ 2 and n > r we consider the finite dimensional k −algebra Λ(n,r) which is defined as the quotient algebra of Λ by the two sided ideal generated by all paths of length r. We will determine for which pairs (n,r) the algebra Λ(n,r) is piecewise hereditary, so the bounded derived category D ^b (Λ(n,r)) is equivalent to the bounded derived category of a hereditary abelian category H\mathcal H as triangulated category.
