Does every real function have this weak derivation property?

After this question : Does every real function have this weak continuity property? Natrualy there are an other (more difficult) : Is it true that for every real function $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}...

Sufficient conditions for $\mathrm{Der}_k(A)$ to be f.g. projective

Let $k$ be a field and $A$ a commutative $k$-algebra. What are sufficient conditions for the module of derivations $\mathrm{Der}_k(A)$ to be finitely generated projective? I'm looking for conditions ...

Is there an analogue of the module of differentials for "higher order derivations" in the Hochschild/cyclic senses?

Note added by YC: the definition below of the cyclic sub-complex is incorrect; and the "higher order derivations" referred to here are traditionally known (since the 1940s) as n-cocycles. $\...

The derivative of a filter with respect to a output signal [closed]

I have two signals, $d(t)$ and $p(t)$, respectively the input and the output of the matching filter $w(t)$, i.e. $$ d(t)*w(t)=p(t) $$ where $*$ denotes convolution.The impulse response $w(t)$ may be ...

Partial derivative of the heat kernel

I happen to have the heat kernel on the two-dimensional hyperbolic space and I need to take partial derivatives in order to check that it satisfies the heat equation as expected. The problem is I can ...
