Differential Algebra - Ring of Pseudo-differential Operators

Ring of Pseudo-differential Operators

Differential rings and differential algebras are often studied by means of the ring of pseudo-differential operators on them.

This is the ring

Multiplication on this ring is defined as

(r\xi^m)(s\xi^n) = \sum_{k=0}^m r (\partial^k s) {m \choose k} \xi^{m+n-k}.

Here is the binomial coefficient. Note the identities

which makes use of the identity

Famous quotes containing the words ring of and/or ring:

    “Roll unmanly over this turning tuft,
    O ring of seas, nor sorrow as I shift
    From all my mortal lovers with a starboard smile....”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “When I received this [coronation] ring I solemnly bound myself in marriage to the realm; and it will be quite sufficient for the memorial of my name and for my glory, if, when I die, an inscription be engraved on a marble tomb, saying, “Here lieth Elizabeth, which reigned a virgin, and died a virgin.””
    —Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
