Termwise primitives of multivariate power series #
Over a commutative ℚ-algebra R, the termwise primitive of f = ∑ aᵥ Xᵛ with respect to the
variable Xᵢ is
∫ f dXᵢ = ∑ aᵥ Xᵛ⁺ᵉⁱ / (νᵢ + 1).
It is a right inverse of the formal partial derivative ∂/∂Xᵢ, and it is the unique series with
derivative f that has no terms free of Xᵢ. Rational scalars are needed to divide by νᵢ + 1:
over a ring of characteristic p the series Xᵢ ^ (p - 1) is not a derivative, since the
derivative of Xᵢ ^ p vanishes.

The coefficient of the termwise primitive at ν + eᵢ is aᵥ / (νᵢ + 1).
The primitive is a right inverse of the derivative: ∂/∂Xᵢ (∫ f dXᵢ) = f.
Differentiation in another variable commutes with termwise integration.

Characterisation of the primitive: g = ∫ f dXᵢ iff ∂g/∂Xᵢ = f and g has no terms
free of Xᵢ.
