Titre / Title: Quantitative and Qualitative Set Differentiation
Abstract : In this article, we present qualitative and quantitative set differentiation. We establish relations which allow us to compute quantitative set differentials for set operations. Moreover, we define qualitative set differentiation that allows us to determine if a given set expression increases or/and decreases. This kind of information is on the one hand sufficient in many situations and on the other hand avoids computing complex set differentials. We present application of both qualitative and quantitative differentiation to the generation of differential algorithms and show how our approach enables us to generate such algorithms in an "intelligent" way.
