Formulae for the Nth Derivative of Exponentiated Polynomials Via Infinite Matrix Operations

Authors: Habeeb Mohammed

We investigate how the sequence $f^{(n)}(0)$ acts for a specific class of functions: exponentiated polynomials, $e^{p(x)}$, of which we first look at $e{-x^2}$. This leads us into an textit{infinite dimensional matrix}, which can be analysed via tools from Lie algebra. To generalise this to all polynomials $p(x)$, we define a correspondence between the space of derivatives of $e^{p(x)}$, $cal{F}$, and a general vector space of polynomials, $cal{T}$; we find that the derivative in $cal{F}$ also corresponds to an operator in $cal{T}$. We then utilise Zassenhaus' formula to find how this operator iterates, hence giving us a general formula for the $n$th derivative of $e^{p(x)}$.
