Jacobian concept

DefinitionThe matrix of partial derivatives of a vector-valued consumer, whose transpose times itself averages to the read operator. A discrete stage has none. Chapter 0 section 0.5 and chapter 12. Also not differentiable.
ExampleA consumer mapping (x1, x2) to (x1 + x2, x1 − x2) has Jacobian with rows (1, 1) and (1, −1).

Defining equation

Book equation 2.1.

Assumptions and scope
  • The matrix of partial derivatives of a vector-valued consumer, whose transpose times itself averages to the read operator. Along a chain of stages the rank of the composed operator is at most the rank of either stage, and a stage that identifies two inputs identifies them for every stage after it.
  • Chunking and indexing have no Jacobian, since a document goes to a set of pieces and a query to a candidate list, and what survives without a derivative is the statement about distinctions.

Equation

Book equation 2.1.

\[P_{C_2\circ C_1}(x)=J_1(x)^{\top}\,P_{C_2}\big(C_1(x)\big)\,J_1(x),\qquad \operatorname{rank}P_{C_2\circ C_1}(x)\le\operatorname{rank}P_{C_2}\big(C_1(x)\big)\quad\text{at each row } x.\]

Book equation 0.11.

\[P_C(x)=J(x)^{\top}G\big(C(x)\big)\,J(x),\qquad J(x)=\frac{\partial C}{\partial x}(x),\qquad \bar P_{C,\mu}=\mathbb E_{\mu}\!\left[P_C(x)\right].\]
