Let f be a real valued function defined in some neighbourhood of a point x. If there are numbers α1, α2, … αr-1, independent of h such that

then the number αk is called the kth Peano derivative (also called kth de la Vallée Poussin derivative [6]) of f at x and we write αk = fk(x). It is convenient to write α0 = f0(x) = f(x). The definition is such that if the mth Peano derivative exists so does the nth for 0 ≦ nm.
