A new algorithm for computing the multivariate Faà di Bruno's formula

A new algorithm for computing the multivariate Faà di Bruno's formula is provided. We use a symbolic approach based on the classical umbral calculus that turns the computation of the multivariate Faà di Bruno's formula into a suitable multinomial expansion. We propose a MAPLE procedure whose computational times are faster compared with the ones existing in the literature. Some illustrative applications are also provided.
