Going from matrix form to summation for calculating the derivative












1












$begingroup$


I have troubles calculating the derivatives of:
$frac{dy}{dx}$ if $y= vec{x}^{T}matrix{W}vec{x}$



I think it would be easier if I go to summation form and then take it from there. However, i'm not sure on how to do that? Same thing when I have a summation to go back to matrix form. Is there an easy step by step guide for this?

          Hint:



          Let $mathbf{A}$ be a matrix of size $n times m$ with elements $A_{ik}$ for $i = 1, 2 dots, n$ and $k = 1, 2, dots, m$



          Let $mathbf{B}$ be a matrix of size $m times p$ with elements $B_{kj}$ for $k = 1, 2 dots, m$ and $j = 1, 2, dots, p$



          Then, we have
          begin{align}
          (mathbf{A} , mathbf{B})_{ij} ; = ; sum_{k=1}^{m}A_{ik} , B_{kj}
          end{align}
