  2. Jacobian matrix and determinant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobian_matrix_and...

    The Jacobian determinant is sometimes simply referred to as "the Jacobian". The Jacobian determinant at a given point gives important information about the behavior of f near that point. For instance, the continuously differentiable function f is invertible near a point p ∈ R n if the Jacobian determinant at p is non-zero.

  3. Matrix calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_calculus

    In mathematics, matrix calculus is a specialized notation for doing multivariable calculus, especially over spaces of matrices.It collects the various partial derivatives of a single function with respect to many variables, and/or of a multivariate function with respect to a single variable, into vectors and matrices that can be treated as single entities.

  4. Jacobian conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobian_conjecture

    The strong real Jacobian conjecture was that a real polynomial map with a nowhere vanishing Jacobian determinant has a smooth global inverse. That is equivalent to asking whether such a map is topologically a proper map , in which case it is a covering map of a simply connected manifold , hence invertible.

  5. Quasi-Newton method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-Newton_method

    Newton's method requires the Jacobian matrix of all partial derivatives of a multivariate function when used to search for zeros or the Hessian matrix when used for finding extrema. Quasi-Newton methods, on the other hand, can be used when the Jacobian matrices or Hessian matrices are unavailable or are impractical to compute at every iteration.

  6. Generalizations of the derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalizations_of_the...

    Of course, the Jacobian matrix of the composition g ° f is a product of corresponding Jacobian matrices: J x (g ° f) =J ƒ(x) (g)J x (ƒ). This is a higher-dimensional statement of the chain rule. For real valued functions from R n to R (scalar fields), the Fréchet derivative corresponds to a vector field called the total derivative.

  7. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    Any non-linear differentiable function, (,), of two variables, and , can be expanded as + +. If we take the variance on both sides and use the formula [11] for the variance of a linear combination of variables ⁡ (+) = ⁡ + ⁡ + ⁡ (,), then we obtain | | + | | +, where is the standard deviation of the function , is the standard deviation of , is the standard deviation of and = is the ...

    Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011. In 2020, the company was acquired by American educational technology website Course Hero. [3] [4]

  9. Direct method in the calculus of variations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_method_in_the...

    In mathematics, the direct method in the calculus of variations is a general method for constructing a proof of the existence of a minimizer for a given functional, [1] introduced by Stanisław Zaremba and David Hilbert around 1900. The method relies on methods of functional analysis and topology. As well as being used to prove the existence of ...
