Let $D:f->f'$. Then $A(f)_x=f(x)+f(x)+f'(x)+1/2f''(x)+\cdots=(I+e^D)(f)_x$. Then $A^{-1}=(I+e^D)^{-1}$. Suppose that $f$ is a polynomial of degree $20$. Then our preferred computer calculates the Taylor's development of $\dfrac{1}{e^x+1}$ until $O(x^{21})$.

and we are done.

For example, $f(x)=x^3$; $A^{-1}(f)=(1/2I-1/4D+1/48D^3)(f)$, that is, $1/2x^3-3/4x^2+1/8$.
