Dear friend,

please suggest a way for manipulation of derivative of a function symbolically. Assume

Typesetting[Suppress]([f(x)]);
Ex1 :=expand(diff(f(x+y)+x*f(x-y), x)^2)+expand(diff(f(x-y)-y*f(x+y), x)^2);

Result is as needed:

Ex1 := (D(f))(x+y)^2+2*(D(f))(x+y)*f(x-y)+2*(D(f))(x+y)*x*(D(f))(x-y)+f(x-y)^2+2*f(x-y)*x*(D(f))(x-y)+x^2*(D(f))(x-y)^2+(D(f))(x-y)^2-2*(D(f))(x-y)*y*(D(f))(x+y)+y^2*(D(f))(x+y)^2

But later I cannot use D(f) as a function. Expressions

subs((D(f)) = (t -> 1-t), Ex1);
subs(diff(f(x),x) = (t -> 1-t), Ex1);

do not handle it as a function.
Please Wait...
