Higher order functions - how should they be defined?

I want to write a function that takes other functions as inputs. Specifically I want to define a function F that takes input 't' (time) and 2 distribution functions, D1 and D2, as inputs (each distribution function itself a function of 't').

For a simple example, if function F is the product of these distribution functions at time t then I could write:

F(t) = D1(t) * D2(t)

So far so good. But now, this is where I get stuck, how do I define another function whose definition includes several F functions each using different distribution functions?

To give an example, let's say I want to define a function G which is the difference between two F functions of different distribution functions. Could I write this:

G(t) = F(t, D1(t), D2(t)) - F(t, D2(t), D3(t)) where F(t, X(t), Y(t)) = X(t) * Y(t)

If not, what is a better way to write this?

Thanks for reading this!

It's not clear to me what you are asking. You are talking about a "composition" of functions, but what do want to do with it?
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
