matrix.derv: Matrix derivative

In ComplexAnalysis: Numerically Evaluate Integrals and Derivatives (also Higher Order) of Vector- And Complex-Valued Functions

Description

Evaluate the derivative of the following types (d denotes the "curly d" in partial derivatives):

• Type 0: scalar-by-scalar dy/dx

• Type 1: (gradient) scalar-by-vector dy/dx

• Type 2: vector-by-scalar dy/dx

• Type 3: (Jacobian) vector-by-vector dy/dx

• Type 4: scalar-by-matrix dy/dX

• Type 5: matrix-by-scalar dY/dx

Note that this is only for real variables although one may modify the source code allowing for some complex-valued ones. Yet correct result is not guaranteed.

Usage

matrix.derv(Y, X0, order = 1, rel.tol=.Machine$double.eps^0.5)

Arguments

Y	One single function y (for type 0, 1 & 4), a vector of functions y (for type 2 & 3) or a matrix of functions Y (for type 5) whose derivative to be evaluated. For a vector or a matrix of functions, the variables and their order must be the same across all functions. Also see Examples.
X0	Evaluation points of the derivative. It can be a scalar x (type 0, 2 & 5), a vector x (type 1 & 3) or a matrix X (type 4). Note that (1) the number of elements in X0 must match the number of variables in each of the functions in Y and, (2) the order of the elements in X0 follows that of the variables in each of the functions in Y. Also see Examples.
order	The order of the derivative. Must be a non-zero natural number.
rel.tol	Relative tolerance of the R built-in function integrate in calculating the derivative.

Details

Error or misleading result may occur if arugments are not properly supplied. Some examples:

• Variables in the functions are not the same: If Y=c(function(x,y,z){x^2+y^2*z},
  function(x,z,y){sqrt(x*y*z)},function(x,y,z){x^y*log(z)}), the second function as the order of the variables as x,z,y.

• The number of evaluation points and the number of variables not match: If
  Y=matrix(function(x){x^3},function(x){x^2},function(x){x},function(x){1},ncol=2) and X0=c(1,2), this is a matrix-by-scalar derivative (type 5) but X0 here is a vector.

• The order of the variables and the order of the evaluation points: If Y=function(a,b,c,d){a*b+c/d} and X0=matrix(1:4,ncol=2), then the derivative is evaluated at a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4 respectively.

Value

result	A matrix even if type 0 (scalar-by-scalar).
type	The type of derivative: 0,1,...,5
