  2. Numerical differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_differentiation

    Their algorithm is applicable to higher-order derivatives. A method based on numerical inversion of a complex Laplace transform was developed by Abate and Dubner. [21] An algorithm that can be used without requiring knowledge about the method or the character of the function was developed by Fornberg. [4]

  3. Quotient rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient_rule

    In calculus, the quotient rule is a method of finding the derivative of a function that is the ratio of two differentiable functions. Let () = (), where both f and g are differentiable and ()

    Higher derivatives and algebraic differential operators can also be defined. They are studied in a purely algebraic setting in differential Galois theory and the theory of D-modules , but also turn up in many other areas, where they often agree with less algebraic definitions of derivatives.

    The higher order derivatives can be applied in physics; for example, while the first derivative of the position of a moving object with respect to time is the object's velocity, how the position changes as time advances, the second derivative is the object's acceleration, how the velocity changes as time advances.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_test

    As shown below, the second-derivative test is mathematically identical to the special case of n = 1 in the higher-order derivative test. Let f be a real-valued, sufficiently differentiable function on an interval I ⊂ R {\displaystyle I\subset \mathbb {R} } , let c ∈ I {\displaystyle c\in I} , and let n ≥ 1 {\displaystyle n\geq 1} be a ...

  7. Symmetry of second derivatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_of_second_derivatives

    The derivative of an integrable function can always be defined as a distribution, and symmetry of mixed partial derivatives always holds as an equality of distributions. The use of formal integration by parts to define differentiation of distributions puts the symmetry question back onto the test functions , which are smooth and certainly ...

  8. Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_methods_for...

    First-order means that only the first derivative of y appears in the equation, and higher derivatives are absent. Without loss of generality to higher-order systems, we restrict ourselves to first-order differential equations, because a higher-order ODE can be converted into a larger system of first-order equations by introducing extra variables.

  9. Higher-order differential cryptanalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_differential...

    To implement an attack using higher order derivatives, knowledge about the probability distribution of the derivative of the cipher is needed. Calculating or estimating this distribution is generally a hard problem but if the cipher in question is known to have a low algebraic degree, the fact that derivatives reduce this degree can be used ...
