     31 // Computation of the Jacobian matrix for vector-valued functions of multiple
     32 // variables, using automatic differentiation based on the implementation of
     33 // dual numbers in jet.h. Before reading the rest of this file, it is adivsable
     34 // to read jet.h's header comment in detail.
     35 //
     36 // The helper wrapper AutoDiff::Differentiate() computes the jacobian of
     37 // functors with templated operator() taking this form:
     38 //
     39 //   struct F {
     40 //     template<typename T>
     41 //     bool operator(const T *x, const T *y, ..., T *z) {
     42 //       // Compute z[] based on x[], y[], ...
     43 //       // return true if computation succeeded, false otherwise.
     44 //     }
     45 //   };
     46 //
     47 // All inputs and outputs may be vector-valued.
     48 //
     49 // To understand how jets are used to compute the jacobian, a
     50 // picture may help. Consider a vector-valued function, F, returning 3
     51 // dimensions and taking a vector-valued parameter of 4 dimensions:
     52 //
     53 //     y            x
     54 //   [ * ]    F   [ * ]
     55 //   [ * ]  <---  [ * ]
     56 //   [ * ]        [ * ]
     57 //                [ * ]
     58 //
     59 // Similar to the 2-parameter example for f described in jet.h, computing the
     60 // jacobian dy/dx is done by substutiting a suitable jet object for x and all
     61 // intermediate steps of the computation of F. Since x is has 4 dimensions, use
     62 // a Jet<double, 4>.
     63 //
     64 // Before substituting a jet object for x, the dual components are set
     65 // appropriately for each dimension of x:
     66 //
     67 //          y                       x
     68 //   [ * | * * * * ]    f   [ * | 1 0 0 0 ]   x0
     69 //   [ * | * * * * ]  <---  [ * | 0 1 0 0 ]   x1
     70 //   [ * | * * * * ]        [ * | 0 0 1 0 ]   x2
     71 //         ---+---          [ * | 0 0 0 1 ]   x3
     72 //            |                   ^ ^ ^ ^
     73 //          dy/dx                 | | | +----- infinitesimal for x3
     74 //                                | | +------- infinitesimal for x2
     75 //                                | +--------- infinitesimal for x1
     76 //                                +----------- infinitesimal for x0
     77 //
     78 // The reason to set the internal 4x4 submatrix to the identity is that we wish
     79 // to take the derivative of y separately with respect to each dimension of x.
     80 // Each column of the 4x4 identity is therefore for a single component of the
     81 // independent variable x.
     82 //
     83 // Then the jacobian of the mapping, dy/dx, is the 3x4 sub-matrix of the
     84 // extended y vector, indicated in the above diagram.
     85 //
     86 // Functors with multiple parameters
     87 // ---------------------------------
     88 // In practice, it is often convenient to use a function f of two or more
     89 // vector-valued parameters, for example, x[3] and z[6]. Unfortunately, the jet
     90 // framework is designed for a single-parameter vector-valued input. The wrapper
     91 // in this file addresses this issue adding support for functions with one or
     92 // more parameter vectors.
     93 //
     94 // To support multiple parameters, all the parameter vectors are concatenated
     95 // into one and treated as a single parameter vector, except that since the
     96 // functor expects different inputs, we need to construct the jets as if they
     97 // were part of a single parameter vector. The extended jets are passed
     98 // separately for each parameter.
     99 //
    100 // For example, consider a functor F taking two vector parameters, p[2] and
    101 // q[3], and producing an output y[4]:
    102 //
    103 //   struct F {
    104 //     template<typename T>
    105 //     bool operator(const T *p, const T *q, T *z) {
    106 //       // ...
    107 //     }
    108 //   };
    109 //
    110 // In this case, the necessary jet type is Jet<double, 5>. Here is a
    111 // visualization of the jet objects in this case:
    112 //
    113 //          Dual components for p ----+

    133 // valued arguments (up to 6).
    134 //
    135 // Jacobian NULL pointers
    136 // ----------------------
    137 // In general, the functions below will accept NULL pointers for all or some of
    138 // the Jacobian parameters, meaning that those Jacobians will not be computed.
