Differential operators are mathematical operators defined as a function of the differentiation operator. They are used in the field of calculus, particularly in the study of differential equations and analysis. In general terms, a differential operator acts on a function to produce another function, often involving derivatives of the original function. The most common differential operator is the derivative itself, denoted as \\( D \\) or \\( \\frac\{d\}\{dx\} \\).
