Partial derivatives of polynomials

This file defines the notion of the formal partial derivative of a polynomial, the derivative with respect to a single variable. This derivative is not connected to the notion of derivative from analysis. It is based purely on the polynomial exponents and coefficients.

Main declarations

• MvPolynomial.pderiv i p : the partial derivative of p with respect to i, as a bundled derivation of MvPolynomial σ R.

Notation

As in other polynomial files, we typically use the notation:

• σ : Type* (indexing the variables)

• R : Type* [CommRing R] (the coefficients)

• s : σ →₀ ℕ, a function from σ to ℕ which is zero away from a finite set. This will give rise to a monomial in MvPolynomial σ R which mathematicians might call X^s

• a : R

• i : σ, with corresponding monomial X i, often denoted X_i by mathematicians

• p : MvPolynomial σ R

def MvPolynomial.pderiv {R : Type u} {σ : Type v} [CommSemiring R] (i : σ) : Derivation R (MvPolynomial σ R) (MvPolynomial σ R)

pderiv i p is the partial derivative of p with respect to i
