Commuting linear differential expressions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 November 2011
Synopsis
We consider the question: When do two ordinary linear differential expressions commute? It turns out that the set of all expressions which commute with a given one form a commutative ring. Here we study the algebraic structure of these rings. As an application a complete characterization of normal differential expressions is obtained.
