def DifferentialOperators(base, generator):

    This function is used to create annihilators using ``Dx``.

    Explanation
    ===========

    Returns an Algebra of Differential Operators also called Weyl Algebra
    and the operator for differentiation i.e. the ``Dx`` operator.

    Parameters
    ==========

    base:
        Base polynomial ring for the algebra.
        The base polynomial ring is the ring of polynomials in :math:`x` that
        will appear as coefficients in the operators.
    generator:
        Generator of the algebra which can
        be either a noncommutative ``Symbol`` or a string. e.g. "Dx" or "D".

    Examples
    ========

    >>> from sympy import ZZ
    >>> from sympy.abc import x
    >>> from sympy.holonomic.holonomic import DifferentialOperators
    >>> R, Dx = DifferentialOperators(ZZ.old_poly_ring(x), 'Dx')

class DifferentialOperatorAlgebra:
    r"""
    An Ore Algebra is a set of noncommutative polynomials in the
    intermediate ``Dx`` and coefficients in a base polynomial ring :math:`A`.
    It follows the commutation rule:

    .. math ::
       Dxa = \sigma(a)Dx + \delta(a)

    for :math:`a \subset A`.

    Where :math:`\sigma: A \Rightarrow A` is an endomorphism and :math:`\delta: A \rightarrow A`
    is a skew-derivation i.e. :math:`\delta(ab) = \delta(a) b + \sigma(a) \delta(b)`.

    If one takes the sigma as identity map and delta as the standard derivation
    then it becomes the algebra of Differential Operators also called
    a Weyl Algebra i.e. an algebra whose elements are Differential Operators.

    This class represents a Weyl Algebra and serves as the parent ring for
    Differential Operators.

class HolonomicFunction:
    r"""
    A Holonomic Function is a solution to a linear homogeneous ordinary
    differential equation with polynomial coefficients. This differential
    equation can also be represented by an annihilator i.e. a Differential
    Operator ``L`` such that :math:`L.f = 0`. For uniqueness of these functions,
    initial conditions can also be provided along with the annihilator.

    Explanation
    ===========

    Holonomic functions have closure properties and thus forms a ring.
    Given two Holonomic Functions f and g, their sum, product,
    integral and derivative is also a Holonomic Function.

    For ordinary points initial condition should be a vector of values of
    the derivatives i.e. :math:`[y(x_0), y'(x_0), y''(x_0) ... ]`.

    For regular singular points initial conditions can also be provided in this
    format:
    :math:`{s0: [C_0, C_1, ...], s1: [C^1_0, C^1_1, ...], ...}`
    where s0, s1, ... are the roots of indicial equation and vectors
    :math:`[C_0, C_1, ...], [C^0_0, C^0_1, ...], ...` are the corresponding initial
    terms of the associated power series. See Examples below.

    Examples
    ========

    >>> from sympy.holonomic.holonomic import HolonomicFunction, DifferentialOperators
    >>> from sympy import QQ
    >>> from sympy import symbols, S
    >>> x = symbols('x')
    >>> R, Dx = DifferentialOperators(QQ.old_poly_ring(x),'Dx')

    >>> p = HolonomicFunction(Dx - 1, x, 0, [1])  # e^x
    >>> q = HolonomicFunction(Dx**2 + 1, x, 0, [0, 1])  # sin(x)

    >>> p + q  # annihilator of e^x + sin(x)
    HolonomicFunction((-1) + (1)*Dx + (-1)*Dx**2 + (1)*Dx**3, x, 0, [1, 2, 1])

    >>> p * q  # annihilator of e^x * sin(x)
    HolonomicFunction((2) + (-2)*Dx + (1)*Dx**2, x, 0, [0, 1])

    An example of initial conditions for regular singular points,
    the indicial equation has only one root `1/2`.

    >>> HolonomicFunction(-S(1)/2 + x*Dx, x, 0, {S(1)/2: [1]})
    HolonomicFunction((-1/2) + (x)*Dx, x, 0, {1/2: [1]})

    >>> HolonomicFunction(-S(1)/2 + x*Dx, x, 0, {S(1)/2: [1]}).to_expr()
    sqrt(x)

    To plot a Holonomic Function, one can use `.evalf()` for numerical
    computation. Here's an example on `sin(x)**2/x` using numpy and matplotlib.

        of the function about :math:`x_0`, where :math:`x_0` is the point at
        which the initial condition is stored.

        Explanation
        ===========

        If the point :math:`x_0` is ordinary, solution of the form :math:`[(R, n_0)]`
        is returned. Where :math:`R` is the recurrence relation and :math:`n_0` is the
        smallest ``n`` for which the recurrence holds true.

        If the point :math:`x_0` is regular singular, a list of solutions in
        the format :math:`(R, p, n_0)` is returned, i.e. `[(R, p, n_0), ... ]`.
        Each tuple in this vector represents a recurrence relation :math:`R`
        associated with a root of the indicial equation ``p``. Conditions of
        a different format can also be provided in this case, see the
        docstring of HolonomicFunction class.

        If it's not possible to numerically compute a initial condition,
        it is returned as a symbol :math:`C_j`, denoting the coefficient of
        :math:`(x - x_0)^j` in the power series about :math:`x_0`.
