One of the fundamental tools of undergraduate calculus is the chain rule. The notion of higher order directional derivatives was developed by Huang, Marcantognini, and Young, along with a corresponding higher order chain rule. When Johnson…

We study the structure possessed by the Goodwillie derivatives of a pointed homotopy functor of based topological spaces. These derivatives naturally form a bimodule over the operad consisting of the derivatives of the identity functor. We…

We present theory for general partial derivatives of matrix functions on the form $f(A(x))$ where $A(x)$ is a matrix path of several variables ($x=(x_1,\dots,x_j)$). Building on results by Mathias [SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl., 17 (1996), pp.…

Differential categories were introduced by Blute, Cockett, and Seely as categorical models of differential linear logic and have since lead to abstract formulations of many notions involving differentiation such as the directional…

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…

In 2017, Bauer, Johnson, Osborne, Riehl, and Tebbe (BJORT) showed that the Abelian functor calculus provides an example of a Cartesian differential category. The definition of a Cartesian differential category is based on a differential…

The Fa\`a di Bruno construction, introduced by Cockett and Seely, constructs a comonad $\mathsf{Fa{\grave{a}}}$ whose coalgebras are precisely Cartesian differential categories. In other words, for a Cartesian left additive category…

Classical homological algebra considers chain complexes, resolutions, and derived functors in additive categories. We describe "track algebras in dimension n", which generalize additive categories, and we define higher order chain…

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…

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…

This is a (slightly edited) version of the PhD dissertation of the author, submitted to Brown University in July 2005. We construct a homotopy calculus of functors in the sense of Goodwillie for the categories of rational homotopy theory.…

We show that differential calculus (in its usual form, or in the general form of topological differential calculus) can be fully imdedded into a functor category (functors from a small category of anchord tangent algebras to anchored sets).…

This contribution proposes a new formulation to efficiently compute directional derivatives of order one to fourth. The formulation is based on automatic differentiation implemented with dual numbers. Directional derivatives are particular…

We establish the Fa\`a di Bruno formula, in the sense of almost everywhere equality, for derivatives of the composed function $f \circ g$, for all function $f : R \rightarrow R$ such that $f$ acts on $W^m_p(R^n)$ by composition, and all $g…

We formulate and prove a chain rule for the derivative, in the sense of Goodwillie, of compositions of weak homotopy functors from simplicial sets to simplicial sets. The derivative spectrum dF(X) of such a functor F at a simplicial set X…

This is mostly an overview. Given finitely presentable abelian categories $A$ and $B$, we sketch the construction of an abelian category of continuous functors from $A$ to $B$ that has nice $2$-categorical behaviour and gives an explicit…

Recent work of Biedermann and R\"ondigs has translated Goodwillie's calculus of functors into the language of model categories. Their work focuses on symmetric multilinear functors and the derivative appears only briefly. In this paper we…

We prove two theorems about Goodwillie calculus and use those theorems to describe new models for Goodwillie derivatives of functors between pointed compactly-generated infinity-categories. The first theorem say that the construction of…

A new calculus based on fractal subsets of the real line is formulated. In this calculus, an integral of order $\alpha, 0 < \alpha \leq 1$, called $F^\alpha$-integral, is defined, which is suitable to integrate functions with fractal…

For an abelian category, a category equivalent to its derived category is constructed by means of specific projective (injective) multicomplexes, the so-called homological resolutions.
