The shift operator action on functions of a real variable plays an important role in harmonic analysis, for example, it appears in the definitions of almost periodic functions, positive-definite functions, derivatives, and convolution. Shift operators are examples of linear operators, important for their simplicity and natural occurrence.

Shift differential meaning series#

In time series analysis, the shift operator is called the lag operator. In mathematics, and in particular functional analysis, the shift operator, also known as the translation operator, is an operator that takes a function x ↦ f( x) For the shift operator of group schemes, see Verschiebung operator. For operators in computer programming languages, see Bit shift. This article is about shift operators in mathematics.
