Definition
Suppose that R is a ring, σ:R → R is an injective ring homomorphism, and δ:R → R is a σ-derivation of R, which means that δ is a homomorphism of abelian groups satisfying
Then the Ore extension R is the ring obtained by giving the ring of polynomials R a new multiplication, subject to the identity
If δ = 0 (i.e., is the zero map) then the Ore extension is denoted R and is called a skew polynomial ring. If σ = 1 (i.e., the identity map) then the Ore extension is denoted R and is called a differential polynomial ring.

Famous quotes containing the word definition:
“The physicians say, they are not materialists; but they are:MSpirit is matter reduced to an extreme thinness: O so thin!—But the definition of spiritual should be, that which is its own evidence. What notions do they attach to love! what to religion! One would not willingly pronounce these words in their hearing, and give them the occasion to profane them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“According to our social pyramid, all men who feel displaced racially, culturally, and/or because of economic hardships will turn on those whom they feel they can order and humiliate, usually women, children, and animals—just as they have been ordered and humiliated by those privileged few who are in power. However, this definition does not explain why there are privileged men who behave this way toward women.”
—Ana Castillo (b. 1953)
“I’m beginning to think that the proper definition of “Man” is “an animal that writes letters.””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
