Hi All,
I was wondering why it is not possible to do the following
x = sym('x',[2 1]); A = sym('A',[2 2]);
diff(x'*A*x,'x')
ans = 0
Is there an alternative method to preform this differentiation?
Thanks

gradient(x'*A*x,x) gives the requested result ans =
A1_1*x1 + A1_2*x2 + A1_1*conj(x1) + A2_1*conj(x2)
A2_1*x1 + A2_2*x2 + A1_2*conj(x1) + A2_2*conj(x2)
Does anyone know a way to get the result in matrix form again: (A+A')x

Dear Carlas, you can try something like this:
x = sym('x%d',[2 1]);
A = sym('A%d%d',[2 2]);
x1 = diff(x' * A * x, x(1));
x2 = diff(x' * A * x, x(2));
I hope it helps. Good luck!
