This is a notation I see in page 8 of Guy Barles and Espen R. Jakobsen, namely $$ \partial_t^{\beta_0}D^{\beta'}\phi(x,t) $$ where $\phi: \mathbb{R}^n\times[0,T]\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is smooth, $\beta_0\in \mathbb{N}$ , $\beta'=(\beta'_i)_i \in \mathbb{N}^n$.

I want to know the precise definition of the notation.

    It means one differentiates the function $\beta_0$ times with respect to $t$ and $\beta'_i$ times with respect to each $x_i$.2011-08-03

    @Piau Thanks a lot. It makes so much sense now2011-08-03

    Now I'm curious, why are you reading a paper on differential equations without knowing that notation?2011-08-03
