Automatic Differentiation Background - MATLAB & Simulink
Automatic differentiation (also known as autodiff, AD, or algorithmic differentiation) is a widely used tool in optimization. The solve function uses automatic differentiation by default in problem-based optimization for general nonlinear objective functions and constraints; see Automatic Differentiation in Optimization Toolbox. Automatic differentiation is a set of techniques for evaluating derivatives (gradients) numerically. The method uses symbolic rules for differentiation, which are more accurate than finite difference approximations. Unlike a purely symbolic approach, automatic differentiation evaluates expressions numerically early in the computations, rather than carrying out large symbolic computations. In other words, automatic differentiation evaluates derivatives at particular numeric values; it does not construct symbolic expressions for derivatives. Forward mode automatic differentiation evaluates a numerical derivative by performing elementary derivative operations conc
