# The operator of exponential derivative applied in quotients

I have an other question for a function different to the example given before in the link below: Exponential derivative operator and continuous functions We define for instance a function as: $$H(y)=\frac{1}{y^{-n}(d/dy)^{-n}e^{-(d/dy)y(d/dy)}T(y)}$$ where $$T$$ is not an operator but a function and $$n$$ is an integer. What can we say about the function and the operator? Is it possible to have $$H(y)=e^{(d/dy)y(d/dy)}(d/dy)^{n}y^{n}\frac{1}{T(y)}?$$

You haven't really defined $$(d/dy)^{-1}$$, but let's pick, for instance, $$(d/dy)^{-1} f(y) = \int_{0}^{y} dy' f(y')$$. Then, your two expressions for $$H(y)$$ in general are not equal. A simple counterexample is the case $$T(y)=y$$. In this case, $$\begin{eqnarray} \frac{1}{y^{-n} (d/dy)^{-n} e^{-(d/dy)y(d/dy)} T(y)} &=& \frac{1}{y^{-n} (d/dy)^{-n} (y-1)} \\ &=& \frac{1}{y^{-n} (y^{n+1}/(n+1)! -y^n /n!)} \\ &=& \frac{(n+1)!}{y-(n+1)} \end{eqnarray}$$ but $$e^{(d/dy)y(d/dy)} (d/dy)^{n} y^n \frac{1}{T(y)} = e^{(d/dy)y(d/dy)} (d/dy)^{n} y^{n-1} =0$$
• @LSpice - the questions by AdamHammam tend to concentrate on the effect of the operator, I haven't seen any that concentrate on the function being acted on (here, $T$) in terms of being a solution to a kind of generalized differential equation. I think what is meant is "could $H$ possibly be simplified into the form ...". But yes, AdamHammam should clarify. Sep 30, 2021 at 3:17
