Combinatorics of Partial Derivatives
The natural forms of the Leibniz rule for the kth derivative of a product and of Faà di Bruno’s formula for the kth derivative of a composition involve the differential operator ∂/∂x1 · · · ∂xk rather than dk/dxk, with no assumptions about whether the variables x1, . . . , xk are all distinct, or all identical, or partitioned into several distinguishable classes of indistinguishable variables. ...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Set Consensus Partial
We present a complete characterization of the Set Consensus Partial Order, a reenement of the Consensus Hierarchy of Herlihy. We deene the (n; k)-set consensus problem as the k-set consensus problem for n processors. We then answer the question of whether an (n; k)-set consensus object (an object which solves the (n; k)-set consensus problem) can be implemented using a combination of (m; `)-set...
متن کاملUnderstanding Partial Differential Equations
In this paper, we present "a posteriori" analysis of the fundamental concepts involved in the modelling of problems of mathematical physics by Partial Differential Equations (PDEs). Our aim is to improve our students' understanding of PDEs when applied to an engineering problem, from a completely qualitative point of view. They should be able to understand the deep meaning of any Laplacian, c...
متن کاملPartial Derivatives of the Lambert Problem
A procedure for deriving analytic partial derivatives of the Lambert problem is presented. Using the universal, cosine based Lambert formulation; first order partial derivatives of the velocities with respect to the positions and times are developed. Taking advantage of inherent symmetries and intermediate variables, the derivatives are expressed in a computationally efficient form. The added c...
متن کاملOn the Complexity of Partial Derivatives
The method of partial derivatives is one of the most successful lower bound methods for arithmetic circuits. It uses as a complexity measure the dimension of the span of the partial derivatives of a polynomial. In this paper, we consider this complexity measure as a computational problem: for an input polynomial given as the sum of its nonzero monomials, what is the complexity of computing the ...
