I worked on one problem I stuck because I think I have a problem about applying chain rule at function with more than one variable. I will write what I try to do, but please explain my step by step so that can I understand what differental operators in chain rule do.
f(x)=arctg(||x||2)∗x
Find a Df(x)(a) if x=(1,1,...,1) and a=(1,2,...,n).
My work:
It is easy to see that we will need chain rule and product rule to solve this problem. First of all let's look at arctg(||x||2).
This function we can write as arctg∘n. Where n is n(x)=||x||2. I write in that way because we know $||x||^2=
But I have problem in using chain rule...
Answer
f=ϕ∘(arctan∘‖, where \phi: t \in \Bbb R \mapsto \phi(t) = tx \in \Bbb R^n.
We have Dg(x) = D(\arctan)(\|x\|^2) D(\|\cdot\|^2)(x), i.e. for each h,
Dg(x)h = \frac{2\langle x,h\rangle}{1 + \|x\|^4}
Also, as \phi is linear and continuous, D\phi(t) = \phi. Thus: Df(x) = D\phi(g(x)) \circ Dg(x) = \phi \circ Dg(x). In other words, for each h:
Df(x)h = \phi(Dg(x)h) = \frac{2\langle x,h\rangle}{1+\|x\|^4} x
