In mathematics, a differential operator is an operator defined as a function of the differentiation operator. It is helpful, as a matter of notation first, to consider differentiation as an abstract operation that accepts a function and returns another function (in the style of a higher-order function in computer science). This article considers mainly linear operators, which are the most common type. However, non-linear differential operators, such as the Schwarzian derivative also exist. ==Definition== Assume that there is a map from a function space to another function space and a function so that is the image of i.e., A differential operator is represented as a linear combination finitely generated by and its derivatives containing higher degree such as : where the set of non-negative integers, , is called a multi-index, called length, are functions on some open domain in ''n''-dimensional space and The derivative above is one as functions or, sometimes, distributions or hyperfunctions and or sometimes, . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「differential operator」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
