Two Dimensional Divided Differences with Multiple Knots
The notion of two dimensional divided difference was introduced by T. Popoviciu in 1934. Many properties of these differences were obtained by D. V. Ionescu. Other properties of the mentioned differences were obtained by the authors of the present paper. The focus of the present paper is to establish properties of two dimensional differences in the case of multiple knots. First, we establish so...
متن کاملEla the Cauchy Double Alternant and Divided Differences
THE CAUCHY DOUBLE ALTERNANT AND DIVIDED DIFFERENCES WENCHANG CHU Dedicated to my friend Pier Vittorio Ceccherini for his 65th birthday Abstract. As an extension of Cauchy’s double alternant, a general determinant evaluation formula is established. Several interesting determinant identities are derived as consequences by means of divided differences.
متن کاملAn Inequality for Divided Differences in High Dimensions
This paper is devoted to an inequality for divided differences in the multivariate case which is similar to the inequality obtained by [J. Pečarić, and M. Rodić Lipanović, On an inequality for divided differences, Asian-European Journal of Mathematics, Vol. 1, No. 1 (2008), 113-120].
متن کاملDivided differences of implicit functions
Divided differences can be viewed as a discrete analogue of derivatives and are commonly used in approximation theory, see [1] for a survey. Recently, the second author and Lyche established two univariate chain rules for divided differences [2], both of which can be viewed as analogous to Faà di Bruno’s formula for differentiating composite functions [6,7]. One of these formulas was simultaneo...
متن کاملA chain rule for multivariate divided differences
In this paper we derive a formula for divided differences of composite functions of several variables with respect to rectangular grids of points. Letting the points coalesce yields a chain rule for partial derivatives of multivariate functions. Math Subject Classification: 41A05, 65D05, 26A06
