Multiscale calculus
Original research. See also Talk:Multiscale calculus and findings at Votes_for_deletion/Evaluation_operator. --Pjacobi 21:20, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
 * Delete. Indeed, original research, not known to Mathematical Reviews, and wrong as noticed on the talk page. I would call this the calculus of finite differences. I am also listing the related theta calculus, see Votes for deletion/Theta calculus. -- Jitse Niesen 22:11, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Alas, there are many interesting things one can say about finite differences, but this is not the way. linas 13:31, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's nonsense.  The article seems to describe a structure consisting of
 * 1) An algebra of A operators on functions defined on R generated by the integral translation operators and a single scaling operator.  This group of operators is isomorphic to the group a x+b for a, b rational numbers acting on functions
 * 2) a linear functional, eg. point evaluation at 0. It follows that evaluation at any point is determined by continuoity and application of a x+b transformations.


 * However, as noted previously, the commutation relations for the action of the a x+b group are wrong.--CSTAR 00:29, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
