Thanks to a couple of people providing me with a personal response on how
the functions Integrate and Hold can be used to solve the specific problem I
posed (see below).

However, my final need is related to complicated expressions with multiple
partial derivatives. Thus, the function I am looking for is one, which is
able to experiment a little (like Simplify) on how to arrange (nest) partial
derivatives of different orders and variables to get the most simple
representation of some expression.

Thanks for any new tips

Hemming
