Logarithmic Derivatives #
We define the logarithmic derivative of a function f as deriv f / f. We then prove some basic
facts about this, including how it changes under multiplication and composition.
The logarithmic derivative of a function defined as deriv f /f. Note that it will be zero
at x if f is not DifferentiableAt x.
Instances For
If two functions agree in a neighborhood of x, then so do their logarithmic derivatives.
If two functions agree in a punctured neighborhood of x, then so do their logarithmic derivatives.
If two functions agree on a codiscrete subset of an open set U, then so do their logarithmic
derivatives.
If two functions agree on a codiscrete subset of ๐, then so do their logarithmic derivatives.
The logarithmic derivative of a finite product is the sum of the logarithmic derivatives.
At a simple zero of an analytic function, the logarithmic residue
(w - x) * logDeriv f w tends to 1.
