Gradient Notations

The gradient is the vector build from the partial derivatives of a n-dimensional function f. For the gradient are the two notations are usual. One is grad(f) and the other is with the Nabla operator ∇.

g r a d ( f ) =f= ( f x 1 f x 2 . . . )

Gradient Calculation Rules

For the gradient operation apply the following calculation rules.

g r a d ( c f ) = c g r a d ( f )

g r a d ( f 1 + f 2 ) = g r a d ( f 1 ) + g r a d ( f 2 )

g r a d ( f 1 f 2 ) = f 2 g r a d ( f 1 ) + f 1 g r a d ( f 2 )
