Jun 18, 2018 at 14:04 comment added Alex M. I am using the notations of Hörmander: If $P$ is a polynomial, then $P(D)$ is a differential operator, but $P(v)$ is its symbol. Therefore, $\partial^\alpha P(v)$ means $\partial _{v_1} ^{\alpha_1} \dots \partial _{v_m} ^{\alpha_m} (P(v_1, \dots, v_m))$.
Jun 18, 2018 at 13:57 comment added Ali Taghavi Yes I know but what does it mean $\partial^{\alpha}P$ while P is itself a differential operator. For example what is ${|P^{\alpha}|}^2$ where $P$ is Laplacian and $\alpha=(2,0)$. I really do not understand your question.
Jun 18, 2018 at 13:49 comment added Alex M. @AliTaghavi: $\alpha$ is a multi-index, i.e. $\alpha = (\alpha_1, \dots, \alpha_m) \in \mathbb N^m$. Then $\partial ^{\alpha} = \partial _{x_1} ^{\alpha_1} \dots \partial _{x_m} ^{\alpha_m}$.
Jun 18, 2018 at 13:43 comment added Ali Taghavi Could you please more explain on $P^{\alpha}$ and its norm?What does $\partial^{\alpha}P$ mean?Is it $P$ a differential operator itself? Could you explain your notations by a precise operator, say Laplacian on the plane and $\alpha=(2,0)$?How it act on a given $v\in \mathbb{r}^2$ ?
