✦ Synopsis


Gro bner's Lie Series and the Exponential Formula provide different explicit formulas for the flow generated by a finite-dimensional polynomial vector field. The present paper gives (1) a generalization of the Lie series in case of non-commuting variables called Exponential Substituition, (2) a structural understanding of the three formulas and their mutual relationships in terms of rooted trees, and (3) as a byproduct new results on the enumeration, coding, and statistics of different kinds of rooted trees.
