In [[mathematics]], a '''delta operator''' is a shift-equivariant [[linear transformation|linear]] operator ''<math>\scriptstyle{ Q:\mathbb K[x] \longrightarrow \mathbb K[x] }</math>'' on the [[vector space]] of [[polynomial]]s in a variable <math> \scriptstyle x </math> over a [[field (mathematics)|field]] <math>\scriptstyle{ \mathbb K}</math> that reduces degrees by one.
This is a preview for the new '''MathML rendering mode''' (with SVG fallback), which is availble in production for registered users.


To say that <math>\scriptstyle Q</math> is '''shift-equivariant''' means that if <math>\scriptstyle{ g(x) = f(x + a)}</math>, then

Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:  


In other words, if ''<math>f</math>'' is a "'''shift'''" of ''<math>g</math>'', then ''<math>Qf</math>'' is also a shift of ''<math>Qg</math>'', and has the same "'''shifting vector'''" ''<math>a</math>''.
'''MathML'''
:<math forcemathmode="mathml">E=mc^2</math>


To say that ''an operator reduces degree by one'' means that if ''<math>f</math>'' is a polynomial of degree ''<math>n</math>'', then ''<math>Qf</math>'' is either a polynomial of degree <math>n-1</math>, or, in case <math>n = 0</math>, ''<math>Qf</math>'' is 0.

Sometimes a ''delta operator'' is defined to be a shift-equivariant linear transformation on polynomials in ''<math>x</math>'' that maps ''<math>x</math>'' to a nonzero constant.  Seemingly weaker than the definition given above, this latter characterization can be shown to be equivalent to the stated definition, since shift-equivariance is a fairly strong condition.

Such a sequence of basic polynomials is always of [[binomial type]], and it can be shown that no other sequences of binomial type exist. If the first two conditions above are dropped, then the third condition says this polynomial sequence is a [[Sheffer sequence]] -- a more general concept.

This is a preview for the new MathML rendering mode (with SVG fallback), which is availble in production for registered users.

If you would like use the MathML rendering mode, you need a wikipedia user account that can be registered here [[1]]

  • Only registered users will be able to execute this rendering mode.
  • Note: you need not enter a email address (nor any other private information). Please do not use a password that you use elsewhere.

Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:

MathML


Follow this link to change your Math rendering settings. You can also add a Custom CSS to force the MathML/SVG rendering or select different font families. See these examples.

Demos

Here are some demos:
