On skew partial derivatives and a Hermite-type interpolation problem

Abstract: Let $\mathcal{R}:=\mathbb{F}[{\bf x};\sigma,\delta]$ be a multivariate skew polynomial ring over a division ring $\mathbb{F}$. In this paper, we introduce the notion of right and left $(\sigma,\delta)$-partial derivatives of polynomials in $\mathcal{R}$ and we prove some of their main properties. As an application of these results, we solve in $\mathcal{R}$ a Hermite-type multivariate skew polynomial interpolation problem. The main technical tools and results used here are of constructive type, showing methods and algorithms to construct a polynomial in $\mathcal{R}$ which satisfies the above Hermite-type interpolation problem and its relative Lagrange-type version.
