The aim of this paper is to derive formulas for the global homological dimension of the ring R [θ 1 ,..,θ u ] of formal linear differential operators over a commutative noetherian ring R with u commuting derivations. Since the case when R has finite global dimension has been completed in [3], the present paper deals mainly with the case when R has infinite global dimension. Formulas are derived which show exactly when R [θ 1 ,.. θ u ] has finite global dimension, and what the value of that dimension is. Examples are constructed of commutative noetherian domains R such that R is torsion‐free as an abelian group, R has infinite global dimension, and R has a derivation such that R [θ] has finite global dimension.
