m D. n u D. n mu |
|
u D. n is the n-th derivative of u,
and u`v D. n is u with an assigned n-th
derivative v . For example:
(cube D.1;cube D.2; (cube=: ^&3"0) D.3)y=: 2 3 4

The derivative applies to constant functions, polynomials,
the exponential ^, the integral
powers ^&n, and those assigned by u`v D. n .
It also applies to functions derived from these by addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division (u+v, etc.);
by the composition u@v; and by the
inverse u^:_1 . Since functions such as j.
and - (negation) and %: (square root) and 1&o.
(sin) and 6&o. (cosh) may all be so derived,
they are also in the domain of the derivative.
Others are treated by approximation.
The derivative of an arbitrary function may also be treated by
a polynomial approximation, (provided by the matrix divide),
or by approximations using the secant slope D: .
If the argument rank of u is a and the result
rank is r, then the argument rank of u D.1
is also a, but its result rank is r+a :
the result of u D.1 is the derivative of each atom of the
result of u with respect to each element of its argument,
giving what is commonly referred to as the partial derivatives.
For example:
volume=: */"1
VOLUMES=: */\"1
(volume;volume D.1;VOLUMES;VOLUMES D.1) y

The adverbs D=:("0)(D.1)
and VD=:("1)(D.1) assign ranks to their arguments,
then take the first derivative; they are convenient for use
in scalar and vector calculus:
sin=: 1&o.
x=: 0.5p1 _0.25p1
(*/\ VD y);(sin x);(sin D x);(sin D D x)
