Examples
- The forward difference operator
- is a delta operator.
- Differentiation with respect to x, written as D, is also a delta operator.
- Any operator of the form
-
- (where Dn(ƒ) = ƒ(n) is the nth derivative) with is a delta operator. It can be shown that all delta operators can be written in this form. For example, the difference operator given above can be expanded as
- The generalized derivative of time scale calculus which unifies the forward difference operator with the derivative of standard calculus is a delta operator.
- In computer science and cybernetics, the term "discrete-time delta operator" (δ) is generally taken to mean a difference operator
- the Euler approximation of the usual derivative with a discrete sample time . The delta-formulation obtains a significant number of numerical advantages compared to the shift-operator at fast sampling.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
