Operators
1. Identity Operator
The operator(I) is known as an Identity Operator.
if I f(x) = f(x).
2. Shifting Operator
The operator(E) is known as a Shifting Operator
if it is defined by E f(x)=f(x+h)
Also, E2f(x) = E(Ef(x)) = Ef(x+h) = f(x+2h)
Enf(x) = f(x+nh)
BT-301 <SELO: 1,2> Reference No.: R3 4
Operators Contd.
3. Forward Difference Operator
∆f(x) = f(x+h) – f(x)
4. Backward Difference Operator
∇ f(x+h) = f(x+h) - f(x)
5. Central Difference Operator
δ f(x) = f(x+(1/2)h) – f(x-(1/2)h)
BT-301 <SELO: 1,2> Reference No.: R3 5
Operators Contd.
5. Averaging Operator
An operator(μ) defined by
μ f(x) =(1/2)[f(x+(1/2)h) + f(x-(1/2)h)] ]
is called as the Averaging operator.
6. Differential Operator
Df(x) = (d/dx)f(x)

Relation Between Operators
1. E = ∆ +1 and ∇ = 1- E-1

Relation Between Operators
2.
Also,
BT-301 <SELO: 1,2> Reference No.: R3 8
Relation Between Operators
3. hD = log(1+ ∆) = E
By using Taylor’s Theorem,
BT-301 <SELO: 1,2> Reference No.: R2 9
Exercise
Q. Prove: 2μδ = ∇+∆
Q. Prove: ∇E = E∇ = ∆ = δE1/2
Q. (E1/2+E-1/2)(1+∆)1/2 = (2+∆)
