Universal expansion of the powers of a derivation (Q1900473)

This paper determines the expansion of the powers of a generic derivation acting on an algebra of formal power series in infinitely many variables. The author obtains an algorithm for the calculation of such powers by the usage of rooted trees. Generalizations of Faa di Bruno coefficients appear. It is a very technical paper; one wishes that a more uniform standard of notations and definitions could be used throughout the mathematical literature.
