Miscellanea. v. t. e. In calculus, the product rule (or Leibniz rule [1] or Leibniz product rule) is a formula used to find the derivatives of products of two or more functions. For two functions, it may be stated in Lagrange's notation as or in Leibniz's notation as. The rule may be extended or generalized to products of three or more ...
t. e. In calculus, the chain rule is a formula that expresses the derivative of the composition of two differentiable functions f and g in terms of the derivatives of f and g. More precisely, if is the function such that for every x, then the chain rule is, in Lagrange's notation , or, equivalently, The chain rule may also be expressed in ...
Generalized power rule. The elementary power rule generalizes considerably. The most general power rule is the functional power rule: for any functions f and g , wherever both sides are well defined. Special cases. If , then when a is any non-zero real number and x is positive. The reciprocal rule may be derived as the special case where .
t. e. The triple product rule, known variously as the cyclic chain rule, cyclic relation, cyclical rule or Euler's chain rule, is a formula which relates partial derivatives of three interdependent variables. The rule finds application in thermodynamics, where frequently three variables can be related by a function of the form f ( x, y, z) = 0 ...
In calculus, the general Leibniz rule, [1] named after Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, generalizes the product rule (which is also known as "Leibniz's rule"). It states that if and are n -times differentiable functions, then the product is also n -times differentiable and its n -th derivative is given by where is the binomial coefficient and denotes ...
e. In calculus, the differential represents the principal part of the change in a function with respect to changes in the independent variable. The differential is defined by where is the derivative of f with respect to , and is an additional real variable (so that is a function of and ). The notation is such that the equation.
The exterior derivative is defined to be the unique ℝ -linear mapping from k -forms to (k + 1) -forms that has the following properties: The operator applied to the -form is the differential of. If and are two -forms, then for any field elements. If is a -form and is an -form, then ( graded product rule) If is a -form, then (Poincare's lemma ...
The rule can be thought of as an integral version of the product rule of differentiation; it is indeed derived using the product rule. The integration by parts formula states: ′ = [() ()] ′ () = () () ′ ().
