矩阵求导公式

今天推导公式，发现居然有对矩阵的求导，狂汗--完全不会。不过还好网上有人总结了。吼吼，赶紧搬过来收藏备份。

基本公式：
Y = A * X --> DY/DX = A'
Y = X * A --> DY/DX = A
Y = A' * X * B --> DY/DX = A * B'
Y = A' * X' * B --> DY/DX = B * A'

1. 矩阵Y对标量x求导：

相当于每个元素求导数后转置一下，注意M×N矩阵求导后变成N×M了

Y = [y(ij)] --> dY/dx = [dy(ji)/dx]

2. 标量y对列向量X求导：

注意与上面不同，这次括号内是求偏导，不转置，对N×1向量求导后还是N×1向量

y = f(x1,x2,..,xn) --> dy/dX = (Dy/Dx1,Dy/Dx2,..,Dy/Dxn)'

3. 行向量Y'对列向量X求导：

注意1×M向量对N×1向量求导后是N×M矩阵。

将Y的每一列对X求偏导，将各列构成一个矩阵。

重要结论：

dX'/dX = I

d(AX)'/dX = A'

4. 列向量Y对行向量X’求导：

转化为行向量Y’对列向量X的导数，然后转置。

注意M×1向量对1×N向量求导结果为M×N矩阵。

dY/dX' = (dY'/dX)'

5. 向量积对列向量X求导运算法则：

注意与标量求导有点不同。

d(UV')/dX = (dU/dX)V' + U(dV'/dX)

d(U'V)/dX = (dU'/dX)V + (dV'/dX)U'

重要结论：

d(X'A)/dX = (dX'/dX)A + (dA/dX)X' = IA + 0X' = A

d(AX)/dX' = (d(X'A')/dX)' = (A')' = A

d(X'AX)/dX = (dX'/dX)AX + (d(AX)'/dX)X = AX + A'X

6. 矩阵Y对列向量X求导：

将Y对X的每一个分量求偏导，构成一个超向量。

注意该向量的每一个元素都是一个矩阵。

7. 矩阵积对列向量求导法则：

d(uV)/dX = (du/dX)V + u(dV/dX)

d(UV)/dX = (dU/dX)V + U(dV/dX)

重要结论：

d(X'A)/dX = (dX'/dX)A + X'(dA/dX) = IA + X'0 = A

8. 标量y对矩阵X的导数：

类似标量y对列向量X的导数，

把y对每个X的元素求偏导，不用转置。

dy/dX = [ Dy/Dx(ij) ]

重要结论：

y = U'XV = ΣΣu(i)x(ij)v(j) 于是 dy/dX = [u(i)v(j)] = UV'

y = U'X'XU 则 dy/dX = 2XUU'

y = (XU-V)'(XU-V) 则 dy/dX = d(U'X'XU - 2V'XU + V'V)/dX = 2XUU' - 2VU' + 0 = 2(XU-V)U'

9. 矩阵Y对矩阵X的导数：

将Y的每个元素对X求导，然后排在一起形成超级矩阵。

 

10.乘积的导数

d(f*g)/dx=(df'/dx)g+(dg/dx)f'

结论

d(x'Ax)=(d(x'')/dx)Ax+(d(Ax)/dx)(x'')=Ax+A'x   （注意：''是表示两次转置）

比较详细点的如下：

Jacobian

If y is a function of x, then dy^T/dx is the Jacobian matrix of y with respect to x.

Its determinant, |dy^T/dx|, is the Jacobian of y with respect to x and represents the ratio of the hyper-volumes dy and dx. The Jacobian occurs when changing variables in an integration: Integral(f(y)dy)=Integral(f(y(x)) |dy^T/dx| dx).

Hessian matrix

If f is a function of x then the symmetric matrix d²f/dx² = d/dx^T(df/dx) is the Hessian matrix of f(x). A value of x for which df/dx = 0 corresponds to a minimum, maximum or saddle point according to whether the Hessian is positive definite, negative definite or indefinite.

• d²/dx² (a^Tx) = 0

  • • d²/dx² (Ax+b)^T (Ax+b) = 2A^TA
  • [C: symmetric]: d²/dx² (Ax+b)^TC(Ax+b) = 2A^TCA
