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 word ring:

    “Good manners have much to do with the emotions. To make them ring true, one must feel them, not merely exhibit them.”
