This work revolves around the study of differentiability in the Stieltjes sense of a product of functions. A formula for the first order derivative has been obtained in the past, which is similar to the usual one with some extra terms in…
A type of fractional derivative, referred to as \alpha-derivative, is studied. The \alpha-derivative of fractional type obeys Leibnitz rule. Based on the definition of \alpha-derivative the operations of analysis and differential geometry…
We are able to derive the equations of motion for forced mechanical systems in a purely variational setting, both in the context of Lagrangian or Hamiltonian mechanics, by duplicating the variables of the system as introduced by Galley…
Recently, the Johnson-McCarthy discrete calculus for homotopy functors was extended to include functors from an unbased simplicial model category to spectra. This paper completes the constructions needed to ensure that there exists a…
We apply the string inspired worldline formalism to the calculation of the higher derivative expansion of one-loop effective actions in non-Abelian gauge theory. For this purpose, we have completely computerized the method, using the…
We describe higher-order chain rules for multivariate functions and tensor fields. We estimate Sobolev-Slobodeckij norms, Musielak-Orlicz norms, and the total variation seminorms of the higher derivatives of tensor fields after a change of…
Perturbation or error bounds of functions have been of great interest for a long time. If the functions are differentiable, then the mean value theorem and Taylor's theorem come handy for this purpose. While the former is useful in…
The $n$th order fractional Brownian motion was introduced by Perrin et al. It is the (upto a multiplicative constant) unique self-similar Gaussian process with Hurst index $H \in (n-1,n)$, having $n$th order stationary increments. We…
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…
We examine relationships between two minors of order n of some matrices of n rows and n+r columns. This is done through a class of determinants, here called $n$-determinants, the investigation of which is our objective. We prove that…
Starting from the Riemann-Liouville derivative, many authors have built their own notion of fractional derivative in order to avoid some classical difficulties like a non zero derivative for a constant function or a rather complicated…
Leibniz's rule for the $n$-th derivative of a product is a very well known and extremely useful formula. In this article, we introduce an analogous explicit formula for the $n$-th derivative of a quotient of two functions. Later, we use…
Assortativity was first introduced by Newman and has been extensively studied and applied to many real world networked systems since then. Assortativity is a graph metrics and describes the tendency of high degree nodes to be directly…
