A differential operator of weight $\lambda$ is the algebraic abstraction of the difference quotient $d_\lambda(f)(x):=\big(f(x+\lambda)-f(x)\big)/\lambda$, including both the derivation as $\lambda$ approaches to $0$ and the difference…

Different questions lead to the same class of functions from natural integers to integers: those which have integral difference ratios, i.e. verifying $f(a)-f(b)\equiv0 \pmod {(a-b)}$ for all $a>b$. We characterize this class of functions…
