Fa\`a di Bruno's formula gives an expression for the derivatives of the composition of two real-valued functions. In this paper we prove a multivariate and synthesized version of Fa\`a di Bruno's formula in higher dimensions, providing a…
How do we take repeated derivatives of composed multivariate functions? for one-dimensional functions, the common tools consist of the Fa\'a di Bruno formula with Bell polynomials; while there are extensions of the Fa\'a di Bruno formula,…
This paper determines the general formula for describing differentials of composite functions in terms of differentials of their factor functions. This generalises the formula commonly attributed to Faa di Bruno to functions in locally…
We give yet another proof for Fa\`{a} di Bruno's formula for higher derivatives of composite functions. Our proof technique relies on reinterpreting the composition of two power series as the generating function for weighted integer…
It is well-known that the coefficients in Faa di Bruno's chain rule for higher derivatives can be expressed via numeration of partitions. It turns out that this has a natural form as a formula for the vector case. To this formula two proofs…
High-order derivatives of nested functions of a single variable can be computed with the celebrated Fa\`a di Bruno's formula. Although generalizations of such formula to multiple variables exist, their combinatorial nature generates an…
Let $X$ be a perfect, compact subset of the complex plane, and let $D^{(1)}(X)$ denote the (complex) algebra of continuously complex-differentiable functions on $X$. Then $D^{(1)}(X)$ is a normed algebra of functions but, in some cases,…
We provide a novel representation of the total n-th derivative of the multivariate composite function $f \circ g$, i.e. a generalized Fa\`a di Bruno's formula. To this end, we make use of properties of the Kronecker product and the n-th…
We present a new variant of the Faa di Bruno formula with a simpler summation order.
In these lectures we present five interpretations of the Fa' di Bruno formula which computes the n-th derivative of the composition of two functions of one variable: in terms of groups, Lie algebras and Hopf algebras, in combinatorics and…
Higher order derivatives of functions are structured high dimensional objects which lend themselves to many alternative representations, with the most popular being multi-index, matrix and tensor representations. The choice between them…
About 160 years ago, the Italian mathematician Fa\`a di Bruno published two notes dealing about the now eponymous formula giving the derivative of any order of a composition of two functions. We reproduce here the two original notes, Fa\`a…
The natural forms of the Leibniz rule for the $k$th derivative of a product and of Fa\`a di Bruno's formula for the $k$th derivative of a composition involve the differential operator $\partial^k/\partial x_1 ... \partial x_k$ rather than…
We extend the multivariate Fa\`{a} di Bruno formula to the super case, where anticommuting odd coordinates are considered. The formula takes the same form as the classical case but contains some nontrivial signs, which essentially measure…
A new algorithm for computing the multivariate Fa\`a di Bruno's formula is provided. We use a symbolic approach based on the classical umbral calculus that turns the computation of the multivariate Fa\`a di Bruno's formula into a suitable…
We obtain a differential equation for the enumeration of the path length of general increasing trees. By using differential operators and their combinatorial interpretation we give a bijective proof of a version of Fa\`a di Bruno formula,…
One shortcoming of the chain rule is that it does not iterate: it gives the derivative of f(g(x)), but not (directly) the second or higher-order derivatives. We present iterated differentials and a version of the multivariable chain rule…
The multidimensional chain rule formula for analytic functions and its generalisation to higher derivatives perfectly work in the algebraic setting in characteristic zero. In positive characteristic one runs into problems due to…
In the paper, by induction, the Fa\`a di Bruno formula, and some techniques in the theory of complex functions, the author finds explicit formulas for higher order derivatives of the tangent and cotangent functions as well as powers of the…
We derive some formulas that rule the behaviour of finite differences under composition of functions with vector values and arguments.
