Pincherle derivative


In mathematics, the Pincherle derivative T’ of a linear operator T:K[x] → K[x] on the vector space of polynomials in the variable x over a field K is the commutator of T with the multiplication by x in the algebra of endomorphisms End(K[x]). That is, T’ is another linear operator T’:K[x] → K[x]

so that

This concept is named after the Italian mathematician Salvatore Pincherle (1853–1936).

The Pincherle derivative, like any commutator, is a derivation, meaning it satisfies the sum and products rules: given two linear operators and belonging to
