Gradient of Kronecker Product Function












1












$begingroup$


Suppose I have a matrix A and vectors c,b. Then how can I compute this expression:
$$
nabla_c b^T(A otimes c)b,
$$
assuming the multiplication is compatible of course?



I've found this article but im not sure how reliable it is.

          Write the function using the Frobenius (:) Inner Product
          $$eqalign{
          f &= b^T(Aotimes c)b cr
          &= (Aotimes c):bb^T cr
          }$$
          At this point, we need to factor the $bb^T$ matrix
          $$eqalign{
          bb^T &= sum_{k=1}^r Z_kotimes Y_k cr
          }$$
          where the $Z_k$ matrices have the same shape as $A$, and $Y_k$ the same shape as $c$.



          Look for the classic paper "Approximation with Kronecker Products" by van Loan and Pitsianis, or Pitsianis' 1997 dissertation (which contains Matlab code).



          Substitute the factorization, then calculate the differential and gradient
          $$eqalign{
          f &= (Aotimes c) : sum_{k=1}^r Z_kotimes Y_k cr
          &= sum_{k=1}^r (Z_k:A) (Y_k:c) crcr
          df &= sum_{k=1}^r (Z_k:A),Y_k :dc crcr
          frac{partial f}{partial c} &= sum_{k=1}^r (A:Z_k),Y_k cr
          }$$

            The restriction on the dimensions ensures that a factorization of the form $M=Botimes C$ can be found. But in this problem we already know that the dimensions of the Kronecker factors must correspond to $Aotimes c$.

          @ CSA , why do you want to calculate the gradient, a simple, but complicated to write, tensor, while the calculation of the derivative is so easy and is equally effective? (the knowledge of the derivative is equivalent to the knowledge of the gradient).



          Consider theorem 3.1 in your reference paper: let $f:Ain M_{m,n}rightarrow A^TA$. The derivative is the simple linear application $Df_A:Hin M_{m,n}rightarrow H^TA+A^TH$; from the previous result, we can derive the gradient of $f$: $nabla(f)(A)=Ibigotimes A^T+(A^Tbigotimes I)T$ where $T$ is the permutation $Hrightarrow H^T$, that is, why make it simple when you can make it complicated.



          In the same way, consider theorem 4.1 in same reference: let $g:Ain M_{m,n}rightarrow Abigotimes B$; since $g$ is linear, its derivative is $Dg_A:Hin M_{m,n}rightarrow Hbigotimes B$. After $2$ pages of calculation, the gradient is presented in a very complicated form; where is the interest ?



          Here $p:cin mathbb{R}^nrightarrow b^T(Abigotimes c)b$ is linear and its derivative is $hin mathbb{R}^nrightarrow b^T(Abigotimes h)b$, formula of a biblical simplicity.

            The given formula only makes dimensional sense if the "matrix" is actually a row vector,
            i.e. $$A=a^T$$ in which case the function of interest is the scalar
            $$phi = b^T(a^Totimes c)b = b^T(ca^T)b = (ba^Tb)^Tc$$
            whose gradient is simply
            $$frac{partialphi}{partial c} = ba^Tb$$

                The restriction on the dimensions ensures that a factorization of the form $M=Botimes C$ can be found. But in this problem we already know that the dimensions of the Kronecker factors must correspond to $Aotimes c$.

                thanks, but this only works if the dimensions are not prime...

              @ CSA , why do you want to calculate the gradient, a simple, but complicated to write, tensor, while the calculation of the derivative is so easy and is equally effective? (the knowledge of the derivative is equivalent to the knowledge of the gradient).



              Consider theorem 3.1 in your reference paper: let $f:Ain M_{m,n}rightarrow A^TA$. The derivative is the simple linear application $Df_A:Hin M_{m,n}rightarrow H^TA+A^TH$; from the previous result, we can derive the gradient of $f$: $nabla(f)(A)=Ibigotimes A^T+(A^Tbigotimes I)T$ where $T$ is the permutation $Hrightarrow H^T$, that is, why make it simple when you can make it complicated.



              In the same way, consider theorem 4.1 in same reference: let $g:Ain M_{m,n}rightarrow Abigotimes B$; since $g$ is linear, its derivative is $Dg_A:Hin M_{m,n}rightarrow Hbigotimes B$. After $2$ pages of calculation, the gradient is presented in a very complicated form; where is the interest ?



              Here $p:cin mathbb{R}^nrightarrow b^T(Abigotimes c)b$ is linear and its derivative is $hin mathbb{R}^nrightarrow b^T(Abigotimes h)b$, formula of a biblical simplicity.
