Higher Order Real Derivatives Using Parabolic Analytic Functions

Abstract

Amid the bidimensional hypercomplex numbers, parabolic numbers are defined as $\{z=x+\imath y:\; x,y\in \mathbb{R}, \imath^2=0, \imath\neq 0\}$. The analytic functions of a parabolic variable have been introduced as an analytic continuation of the real function of a real variable. Also, their algebraic property has already been discussed. This paper will show the $n$-th derivative of the real functions using parabolic numbers to further generalize the automatic differentiation. Also, we shall show some of the applications of it.
