Extended finite operator calculus -- an example of algebraization of analysis

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A wardian calculus of sequences started almost seventy years ago constitutes the general scheme for extensions of the classical umbral operator calculus considered by many afterwards . At the same time this calculus is an example of the algebraization of the analysis here restricted to the algebra of formal series. This is a review article based on the recent first author contributions. As the survey article it is supplemented by the short indicatory glossaries of notation and terms used by prominent contributors to the domain.


This paper presents some properties for an extension of classical finite operator calculus of Gian-Carlo Rota (1932--1999), the so called \(\psi\)-calculus. The main definitions and theorems are exposed in the second part: the \(\psi\)-derivative \(\partial_{\psi}\), the generalized translation operator \(E^{y}(\partial_{\psi})\), the \(\partial_{\psi}\)-delta operator \(Q(\partial_{\psi})\), the \(\partial_{\psi}\)-basic polynomial sequence, the Pincherle \(\psi\)-derivative, the \(\psi\)-transfer formulas and the \(\psi\)-Rodrigues formula. The last part is a glossary of notations used by Ward, Viskov, Markowsky, Roman on one side and the Kwansniewski notations on the other side.
