Finite difference approximation

Given pairwise distinct real numbers $x_0,\dots,x_4$, one can approximate $f'(x_0)$ by a linear combination $a_0f(x_0)+\cdots+a_4f(x_4)$ so that $$g_j'(x_0)=a_0g_j(x_0)+\cdots+a_4g_j(x_4)$$ for $g_j(x …

Change of variable formulas in discrete calculus?

$\newcommand\De\Delta$Elementarily: The relation $f=\De_h^{-1}g$ means that $f(x+h)-f(x)=g(x)$ for all $x$. For a function $g$ and each real $r$, we know $f_r:=\De_1^{-1}g_r$, where $g_r(x):=g(rx)$, s …
