Dear Mathgroup Member, I can extract all derivatives from e.g. s1 = a u'[x] + a u''[x] by Cases[{s1}, Derivative[_][u][x],-1] and get {u'[x],u''[x]} But for mixed derivatives e.g. {a u[x,y]^(0,1) + c u[x,y]^(1,1)} the correponding command Cases[{s1}, Derivative[_][u][x,y],-1] doesn't work and I receive only the empty list {}. Any help is much appreciated! Klaus Duellmann Mannheim University E-mail: k.duellmann at uni-mannheim.de
