If a function maps from R^n to R^m, its derivatives form m-by-n matrix called the Jacobian, where an element (i, j) is a partial derivative of f[i] with respect to x[j]. Parameters ---------- fun : callable Function of which to estimate the derivatives. The argument x passed to this function is ndarray of shape (n,) (never a scalar even if n=1). It must return 1-D array_like of shape (m,) or a scalar. x0 : array_like of shape (n,) or float Point at which to estimate the derivatives. Float will be converted to a 1-D array. method : {'3-point', '2-point', 'cs'}, optional Finite difference method to use: - '2-point' - use the first order accuracy forward or backward difference. - '3-point' - use central difference in interior points and the second order accuracy forward or backward difference near the boundary. - 'cs' - use a complex-step finite difference scheme. This assumes that the user function is real-valued and can be analytically continued to the complex plane. Otherwise, produces bogus results. rel_step : None or array_like, optional Relative step size to use. The absolute step size is computed as ``h = rel_step * sign(x0) * max(1, abs(x0))``, possibly adjusted to fit into the bounds. For ``method='3-point'`` the sign of `h` is ignored. If None (default) then step is selected automatically, see Notes. abs_step : array_like, optional Absolute step size to use, possibly adjusted to fit into the bounds. For ``method='3-point'`` the sign of `abs_step` is ignored. By default relative steps are used, only if ``abs_step is not None`` are absolute steps used. f0 : None or array_like, optional If not None it is assumed to be equal to ``fun(x0)``, in this case the ``fun(x0)`` is not called. Default is None. bounds : tuple of array_like, optional Lower and upper bounds on independent variables. Defaults to no bounds. Each bound must match the size of `x0` or be a scalar, in the latter case the bound will be the same for all variables. Use it to limit the range of function evaluation. Bounds checking is not implemented when `as_linear_operator` is True. sparsity : {None, array_like, sparse matrix, 2-tuple}, optional Defines a sparsity structure of the Jacobian matrix. If the Jacobian matrix is known to have only few non-zero elements in each row, then it's possible to estimate its several columns by a single function evaluation [3]_. To perform such economic computations two ingredients are required: * structure : array_like or sparse matrix of shape (m, n). A zero element means that a corresponding element of the Jacobian identically equals to zero. * groups : array_like of shape (n,). A column grouping for a given sparsity structure, use `group_columns` to obtain it. A single array or a sparse matrix is interpreted as a sparsity structure, and groups are computed inside the function. A tuple is interpreted as (structure, groups). If None (default), a standard dense differencing will be used. Note, that sparse differencing makes sense only for large Jacobian matrices where each row contains few non-zero elements. as_linear_operator : bool, optional When True the function returns an `scipy.sparse.linalg.LinearOperator`. Otherwise it returns a dense array or a sparse matrix depending on `sparsity`. The linear operator provides an efficient way of computing ``J.dot(p)`` for any vector ``p`` of shape (n,), but does not allow direct access to individual elements of the matrix. By default `as_linear_operator` is False. args, kwargs : tuple and dict, optional Additional arguments passed to `fun`. Both empty by default. The calling signature is ``fun(x, *args, **kwargs)``. Returns ------- J : {ndarray, sparse matrix, LinearOperator} Finite difference approximation of the Jacobian matrix. If `as_linear_operator` is True returns a LinearOperator with shape (m, n). Otherwise it returns a dense array or sparse matrix depending on how `sparsity` is defined. If `sparsity` is None then a ndarray with shape (m, n) is returned. If `sparsity` is not None returns a csr_matrix with shape (m, n). For sparse matrices and linear operators it is always returned as a 2-D structure, for ndarrays, if m=1 it is returned as a 1-D gradient array with shape (n,). See Also -------- check_derivative : Check correctness of a function computing derivatives. Notes ----- If `rel_step` is not provided, it assigned to ``EPS**(1/s)``, where EPS is machine epsilon for float64 numbers, s=2 for '2-point' method and s=3 for '3-point' method. Such relative step approximately minimizes a sum of truncation and round-off errors, see [1]_. Relative steps are used by default. However, absolute steps are used when ``abs_step is not None``. If any of the absolute steps produces an indistinguishable difference from the original `x0`, ``(x0 + abs_step) - x0 == 0``, then a relative step is substituted for that particular entry. A finite difference scheme for '3-point' method is selected automatically. The well-known central difference scheme is used for points sufficiently far from the boundary, and 3-point forward or backward scheme is used for points near the boundary. Both schemes have the second-order accuracy in terms of Taylor expansion. Refer to [2]_ for the formulas of 3-point forward and backward difference schemes. For dense differencing when m=1 Jacobian is returned with a shape (n,), on the other hand when n=1 Jacobian is returned with a shape (m, 1). Our motivation is the following: a) It handles a case of gradient computation (m=1) in a conventional way. b) It clearly separates these two different cases. b) In all cases np.atleast_2d can be called to get 2-D Jacobian with correct dimensions.
