of a function at a point

The value

It is sometimes called the Riemann derivative or the second symmetric derivative. For the first time introduced by B. Riemann in 1854 (see [2]); it was studied by H.A. Schwarz [1]. More generally, the symmetric derivative of order is also called a Schwarz symmetric derivative:

Comments

The name general derivative is also used for this notion. A natural approach is to start with the central difference , and to define the first symmetric derivative as

and then , , .
