Hi,

How does one write a call a function that represents an operator? In
other words, it takes a function and returns another function.

For example, if you think of the Laplacian I want to do something like
this (pseudo code):

f[x_, y_] := x^4 +y^4
g = Laplacian[f];

N[g[1, 1], 50]

How would one write "Laplacian"?

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron
