Title
Two chain rules for divided differences and Faà di Bruno's formula
Abstract
In this paper we derive two formulas for divided differences of a function of a function. Both formulas lead to other divided difference formulas, such as reciprocal and quotient rules. The two formulas can also be used to derive Faa di Bruno's formula and other formulas for higher derivatives of composite functions. We also derive a divided difference version of Faa di Bruno's determinant formula.
