Chain rule for function in $mathbb{R}^{m}$ and $mathbb{R}^{n}$.












1














In my text book, say that




Let $g:mathbb{R}^{m}tomathbb{R}^{n}$ and $f:mathbb{R}^{n}tomathbb{R}$, the chain rule implies that $$D_{j}(fcirc g)(a)=sum_{i=1}^{n}{D_{i}f(g(a))cdot D_{j}g^{i}(a)}$$




If $ainmathbb{R}^{m}$. I know the chain rule in basic case, but I don't see where from the terms $g^i(a)$. Any hint will be appreciated.! Thanks!

According to the chain rule, you have:
$$D(f circ g)(a) = Df(g(a)) . Dg(a).$$



And by definition, $D_j(f circ g)(a)=D(f circ g)(a)(e_j)$ where $e_j$ is the $j$-th vector of the canonical basis $(e_1, dots ,e_n)$ of $mathbb R^n$.



So
$$D_j(f circ g)(a) = Df(g(a)) . Dg(a)(e_j)$$
while
$Dg(a)(e_j)$ is the vector $(D_j g^1(a), dots, D_j g^n(a))^T$. Multiplying on the left by $Df(g(a))$ according to the chain rule, you’re done.

    According to the chain rule, you have:
    $$D(f circ g)(a) = Df(g(a)) . Dg(a).$$



    And by definition, $D_j(f circ g)(a)=D(f circ g)(a)(e_j)$ where $e_j$ is the $j$-th vector of the canonical basis $(e_1, dots ,e_n)$ of $mathbb R^n$.



    So
    $$D_j(f circ g)(a) = Df(g(a)) . Dg(a)(e_j)$$
    while
    $Dg(a)(e_j)$ is the vector $(D_j g^1(a), dots, D_j g^n(a))^T$. Multiplying on the left by $Df(g(a))$ according to the chain rule, you’re done.
