Differential calculus is not a unique way to observe polynomial equations such as $a+b=c$. We propose a way of applying difference calculus to estimate multiplicities of the roots of the polynomials $a$, $b$ and $c$ satisfying the equation…

Differentially-algebraic (D-algebraic) functions are solutions of polynomial equations in the function, its derivatives, and the independent variables. We revisit closure properties of these functions by providing constructive proofs. We…
It is shown how to define difference operators and equations on particular lattices $\{x_n\}$, $2n\in\mathbb{Z}$, such that the divided difference operator $(\mathcal{D}f)(x_{n+1/2})= (f(x_{n+1})-f(x_n))/(x_{n+1}-x_n)$ has the property that…

We give a proper fractional extension of the classical calculus of variations. Necessary optimality conditions of Euler-Lagrange type for variational problems containing both classical and fractional derivatives are proved. The fundamental…
We obtain a new decomposition of the Riemann-Liouville operators of fractional integration as a series involving derivatives (of integer order). The new formulas are valid for functions of class $C^n$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$, and allow us to…
There exists a huge number of numerical methods that iteratively construct approximations to the solution $y(x)$ of an ordinary differential equation (ODE) $y'(x)=f(x,y)$ starting from an initial value $y_0=y(x_0)$ and using a finite…

We propose a novel foundation for calculus that focuses on the notion of approximations while avoiding the use of limits altogether. Continuity is defined as approximation at a point, while differentiability is defined as approximation with…
