矩阵求导（Matrix Derivative）也称作矩阵微分（Matrix Differential），在机器学习、图像处理、最优化等领域的公式推导中经常用到。

布局（Layout）：在矩阵求导中有两种布局，分别为分母布局(denominator layout)和分子布局(numerator layout)。这两种不同布局的求导规则是不一样的。

个人理解：

Numerator Layout：布局按照分子的排列，例如分子的m列，那么结果的m列是对应分子的，与分母正好相反，分母如果为n列，对应的n行，比较常用。

Denominator Layout：与上面正好相反，结果正好是转置矩阵。

Numerator-layout notation

Using numerator-layout notation, we have:

$

{\displaystyle {\frac {\partial y}{\partial \mathbf {x} }}=\left[{\frac {\partial y}{\partial x_{1}}}{\frac {\partial y}{\partial x_{2}}}\cdots {\frac {\partial y}{\partial x_{n}}}\right].}

$

$

{\displaystyle {\frac {\partial \mathbf {y} }{\partial x}}={\begin{bmatrix}{\frac {\partial y_{1}}{\partial x}}\\{\frac {\partial y_{2}}{\partial x}}\\\vdots \\{\frac {\partial y_{m}}{\partial x}}\\\end{bmatrix}}.}

$

${\displaystyle {\frac {\partial \mathbf {y} }{\partial \mathbf {x} }}={\begin{bmatrix}{\frac {\partial y_{1}}{\partial x_{1}}}&{\frac {\partial y_{1}}{\partial x_{2}}}&\cdots &{\frac {\partial y_{1}}{\partial x_{n}}}\\{\frac {\partial y_{2}}{\partial x_{1}}}&{\frac {\partial y_{2}}{\partial x_{2}}}&\cdots &{\frac {\partial y_{2}}{\partial x_{n}}}\\\vdots &\vdots &\ddots &\vdots \\{\frac {\partial y_{m}}{\partial x_{1}}}&{\frac {\partial y_{m}}{\partial x_{2}}}&\cdots &{\frac {\partial y_{m}}{\partial x_{n}}}\\\end{bmatrix}}.}

$

$

\frac{\partial y}{\partial \mathbf{X}} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial y}{\partial x_{11}} & \frac{\partial y}{\partial x_{21}} & \cdots & \frac{\partial y}{\partial x_{p1}}\\ \frac{\partial y}{\partial x_{12}} & \frac{\partial y}{\partial x_{22}} & \cdots & \frac{\partial y}{\partial x_{p2}}\\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots\\ \frac{\partial y}{\partial x_{1q}} & \frac{\partial y}{\partial x_{2q}} & \cdots & \frac{\partial y}{\partial x_{pq}}\\ \end{bmatrix}.

$

∂ y ∂ x = [ ∂ y ∂ x 1 ∂ y ∂ x 2 ⋯ ∂ y ∂ x n ] . {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial y}{\partial \mathbf {x} }}=\left[{\frac {\partial y}{\partial x_{1}}}{\frac {\partial y}{\partial x_{2}}}\cdots {\frac {\partial y}{\partial x_{n}}}\right].}

∂ y ∂ x = [ ∂ y 1 ∂ x ∂ y 2 ∂ x ⋮ ∂ y m ∂ x ] . {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial \mathbf {y} }{\partial x}}={\begin{bmatrix}{\frac {\partial y_{1}}{\partial x}}\\{\frac {\partial y_{2}}{\partial x}}\\\vdots \\{\frac {\partial y_{m}}{\partial x}}\\\end{bmatrix}}.}

∂ y ∂ x = [ ∂ y 1 ∂ x 1 ∂ y 1 ∂ x 2 ⋯ ∂ y 1 ∂ x n ∂ y 2 ∂ x 1 ∂ y 2 ∂ x 2 ⋯ ∂ y 2 ∂ x n ⋮ ⋮ ⋱ ⋮ ∂ y m ∂ x 1 ∂ y m ∂ x 2 ⋯ ∂ y m ∂ x n ] . {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial \mathbf {y} }{\partial \mathbf {x} }}={\begin{bmatrix}{\frac {\partial y_{1}}{\partial x_{1}}}&{\frac {\partial y_{1}}{\partial x_{2}}}&\cdots &{\frac {\partial y_{1}}{\partial x_{n}}}\\{\frac {\partial y_{2}}{\partial x_{1}}}&{\frac {\partial y_{2}}{\partial x_{2}}}&\cdots &{\frac {\partial y_{2}}{\partial x_{n}}}\\\vdots &\vdots &\ddots &\vdots \\{\frac {\partial y_{m}}{\partial x_{1}}}&{\frac {\partial y_{m}}{\partial x_{2}}}&\cdots &{\frac {\partial y_{m}}{\partial x_{n}}}\\\end{bmatrix}}.}

∂ y ∂ X = [ ∂ y ∂ x 11 ∂ y ∂ x 21 ⋯ ∂ y ∂ x p 1 ∂ y ∂ x 12 ∂ y ∂ x 22 ⋯ ∂ y ∂ x p 2 ⋮ ⋮ ⋱ ⋮ ∂ y ∂ x 1 q ∂ y ∂ x 2 q ⋯ ∂ y ∂ x p q ] . {\displaystyle {\frac {\partial y}{\partial \mathbf {X} }}={\begin{bmatrix}{\frac {\partial y}{\partial x_{11}}}&{\frac {\partial y}{\partial x_{21}}}&\cdots &{\frac {\partial y}{\partial x_{p1}}}\\{\frac {\partial y}{\partial x_{12}}}&{\frac {\partial y}{\partial x_{22}}}&\cdots &{\frac {\partial y}{\partial x_{p2}}}\\\vdots &\vdots &\ddots &\vdots \\{\frac {\partial y}{\partial x_{1q}}}&{\frac {\partial y}{\partial x_{2q}}}&\cdots &{\frac {\partial y}{\partial x_{pq}}}\\\end{bmatrix}}.}

The following definitions are only provided in numerator-layout notation:

$

\frac{\partial \mathbf{Y}}{\partial x} = \begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial y_{11}}{\partial x} & \frac{\partial y_{12}}{\partial x} & \cdots & \frac{\partial y_{1n}}{\partial x}\\ \frac{\partial y_{21}}{\partial x} & \frac{\partial y_{22}}{\partial x} & \cdots & \frac{\partial y_{2n}}{\partial x}\\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots\\ \frac{\partial y_{m1}}{\partial x} & \frac{\partial y_{m2}}{\partial x} & \cdots & \frac{\partial y_{mn}}{\partial x}\\ \end{bmatrix}.

$

$

d\mathbf{X} = \begin{bmatrix} dx_{11} & dx_{12} & \cdots & dx_{1n}\\ dx_{21} & dx_{22} & \cdots & dx_{2n}\\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots\\ dx_{m1} & dx_{m2} & \cdots & dx_{mn}\\ \end{bmatrix}.
