Summary

Various generalized derivatives are defined and related. Some of these are the Peano derivatives, the symmetric (Peano) derivatives, the symmetric Riemann derivatives, a generalized derivative from numerical analysis, the very large family of A derivatives, symmetric quantum derivatives, and quantum symmetric Riemann derivatives. Additionally, L p, 1 ≤ p <  versions of many of these derivatives are considered. Relations between some of these derivatives are mentioned. Some counterexamples showing that other relations are not true are also given.

Notes

  1. 1.

    When I gave this talk in the fall of 2012, I knew that many, many cases of A 1 had manifested irreversibility. This led me to speculate to the audience that, except for the trivial case, irreversibility of the fourth implication when n = 1 always occurred. My black swan moment (see [Ta]) arrived with my discovery in [ACC] of a small family of cases of A 1 that do imply ordinary differentiability. All such cases are classified in [ACC].
