This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.

Automatic differentiation but:

  • generalized to arbitrary dimensionality
  • generalized to arbitrary order
  • employing lazy evaluation – allowing to avoid obfuscation of code

Actually usable implementation (Haskell library):

vector-space provides classes and generic operations for vector spaces and affine spaces.
It also defines a type of infinite towers of generalized derivatives.
A generalized derivative is a linear transformation rather than one of the common concrete representations (scalars, vectors, matrices, ...).
