An algorithm for constructing certain differential operators in positive characteristic

Given a non-zero polynomial f in a polynomial ring R with coefficients in a finite field of prime characteristic p, we present an algorithm to compute a differential operator δ which raises 1/ f to its pth power. For some specific families of polynomials, we also study the level of such a differenti...
