Question

Give the Hessian matrix of the function $f(x,y) = \frac{x^{2}}{y^{2}}$ .

Answer

The Hessian matrix of a function is the matrix of partial second derivatives:

$\begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial y} \ \ \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial x } & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y^2} \end{bmatrix}$ .

Find the partial derivatives as follows:

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2} = \frac{\partial^2 }{\partial x^2} \left ( \frac{x^{2}}{y^{2}} \right )$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2} =\frac{1}{y^{2}} \frac{\partial^2 }{\partial x^2} \left ( x^{2} \right )$

$= \frac{1}{y^{2}} \frac{\partial }{\partial x } \left (2x \right )$

$= \frac{1}{y^{2}} \cdot 2$

$= \frac{2 }{y^{2}}$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial y } = \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial x } = \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial x } \left ( \frac{x^{2}}{y^{2}} \right )$

$= \frac{\partial }{\partial y } \left (\frac{1}{y^{2}} \cdot \frac{\partial }{\partial x } \left (x^{2}\right ) \right )$

$= \frac{\partial }{\partial y } \left (\frac{1}{y^{2}} \cdot2x \right )$

$=2x \cdot \frac{\partial }{\partial y } \left (\frac{1}{y^{2}} \right )$

$=2x \cdot \frac{-2}{y^{3}}$

$= - \frac{4x}{y^{3}}$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y^2} = \frac{\partial^2 }{\partial y^2} \left ( \frac{x^{2}}{y^{2}} \right )$

$= x^{2} \cdot \frac{\partial^2 }{\partial y^2} \left ( \frac{1}{y^{2}} \right )$

$= x^{2} \cdot \frac{\partial }{\partial y } \left ( \frac{-2}{y^{3}} \right )$

$= x^{2} \cdot \frac{6}{y^{4}}$

$= \frac{6x^{2} }{y^{4}}$

The Hessian matrix is

$\begin{bmatrix}\frac{2 }{y^{2}} & - \frac{4x}{y^{3}} \ \ - \frac{4x}{y^{3}}& \frac{6x^{2} }{y^{4}}\end{bmatrix}$ ,

or

$\frac{1}{y^{4}}\begin{bmatrix}2y^{2} & - 4xy \ - 4xy & 6x^{2} \end{bmatrix}$ .

Question

Set up a Hessian Matrix from the following equation,

$f(x,y,z)=12-\frac{5}{2}(x^2-z^2)+3y^2-4z$

Answer

Recall what a hessian matrix is:

$\begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial x} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial y} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial z} \ \ \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial x} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial y} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial z} \ \ \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial z \partial x} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial z \partial y} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial z \partial z} \end{bmatrix}$

Now let's calculate each second order derivative separately, and then put it into the matrix.

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial x}=-5$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial y }=0$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial z }=0$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial x }=0$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial y }=6$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial z }=0$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial z \partial x }=0$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial z \partial y }=0$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial z \partial z }=5$

Now we put each entry into its place in the Hessian Matrix, and it should look like

$\begin{bmatrix} -5 & 0 & 0 \ 0 & 6 & 0 \ 0 & 0 & 5 \end{bmatrix}$

Question

Find the Hessian of the following function.

$f(x,y,z)=\frac{1}{2}xy^2+\ln(yz^2)+x^3$

Answer

Recall the Hessian

$\begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial x} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial y} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial z} \ \ \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial x} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial y} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial z} \ \ \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial z \partial x} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial z \partial y} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial z \partial z} \end{bmatrix}$

So lets find the partial derivatives, and then put them into matrix form.

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial x} =6x$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial y} =y$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial z} =0$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial x} =y$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial y} =x-\frac{1}{y^2}$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial z} =0$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial z \partial x} =0$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial z \partial y} =0$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial z \partial z} =-\frac{2}{z^2}$

Now lets put them into the matrix

$\begin{bmatrix} 6x & y & 0\ \ y & x-\frac{1}{y^2} & 0 \ \ 0 & 0 & -\frac{2}{z^2} \end{bmatrix}$

Question

Give the Hessian matrix of the function

$f(x,y) = \ln ( x^{2}+y)$ .

Answer

The Hessian matrix of a function is the matrix of partial second derivatives

$\begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x\partial y } \ \ \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y\partial x } & \frac{\partial^2 f}{ \partial y^2 } \end{bmatrix}$

Find each partial second derivative separately:

$\frac{\partial f }{\partial x} =\frac{\partial }{\partial x} \ln ( x^{2}+y)$

$=\frac{\frac{\partial }{\partial x} ( x^{2}+y)}{x^{2}+y}$

$= \frac{2x }{x^{2}+y}$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2} =\frac{\partial }{\partial x} \left ( \frac{2x }{x^{2}+y} \right )$

$= \frac{(x^{2}+y) \frac{\partial }{\partial x}(2x)- 2x \frac{\partial }{\partial x}(x^{2}+y)}{(x^{2}+y)^{2}}$

$= \frac{(x^{2}+y) (2) - 2x (2x)}{(x^{2}+y)^{2}}$

$= \frac{(2x^{2}+2y) - 4x^{2}}{(x^{2}+y)^{2}}$

$= \frac{-2x^{2}+2y}{(x^{2}+y)^{2}}$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x\partial y }= \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y\partial x } =\frac{\partial }{\partial y} \left ( \frac{2x }{x^{2}+y} \right )$

$=2x \frac{\partial }{\partial y} \left ( x^{2}+y \right )^{-1}$

$=2x (-1 )\left ( x^{2}+y \right )^{-2}$

$= \frac{ - 2x }{(x^{2}+y)^{2}}$

$\frac{\partial f }{\partial y} =\frac{\partial }{\partial y} \ln ( x^{2}+y)$

$=\frac{\frac{\partial }{\partial y} ( x^{2}+y)}{x^{2}+y}$

$=\frac{1 }{x^{2}+y}$

$\frac{\partial ^2 f}{\partial y^2} = \frac{\partial }{\partial y} \left ( \frac{1 }{x^{2}+y} \right )$

$= \frac{\partial }{\partial y} \left ( x^{2}+y \right )^{-1}$

$=-1\cdot \frac{\partial }{\partial y} \left ( x^{2}+y \right ) \left ( x^{2}+y \right )^{-2}$

$= (-1) \left ( x^{2}+y \right )^{-2}$

$= \frac{ - 1}{(x^{2}+y)^{2}}$

The Hessian of is

$\begin{bmatrix} \frac{-2x^{2}+2y}{(x^{2}+y)^{2}} & \frac{ - 2x }{(x^{2}+y)^{2}} \ \frac{ - 2x }{(x^{2}+y)^{2}} & \frac{ - 1}{(x^{2}+y)^{2}} \end{bmatrix}$ ,

which can be rewritten as

$\frac{ - 1}{(x^{2}+y)^{2}} \begin{bmatrix} 2x^{2}-2y & 2x \ 2x & 1 \end{bmatrix}$

Question

Give the Hessian matrix of the function $f(x, y) = \frac{1}{x^{2}y^{3}}$

Answer

The Hessian matrix of a function is the matrix of partial second derivatives

$\begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x\partial y } \ \ \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y\partial x } & \frac{\partial^2 f}{ \partial y^2 } \end{bmatrix}$

First, rewrite

$f(x, y) = \frac{1}{x^{2}y^{3}}$

as

$f(x, y) = x^{-2}y^{-3}$

Find each partial second derivative separately:

$\frac{\partial f }{\partial x} =\frac{\partial }{\partial x} ( x^{-2}y^{-3})$

$=-2 x^{-3}y^{-3}$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2} =\frac{\partial }{\partial x} \left ( -2 x^{-3}y^{-3} \right )$

$= -2 (-3)x^{-4}y^{-3} \right )$

$=6x^{-4}y^{-3}$

$=\frac{6}{x^{4}y^{3}}$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial x} = \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial y} =\frac{\partial }{\partial y } \left ( -2 x^{-3}y^{-3} \right )$

$=-2 (-3)x^{-3}y^{-4}$

$=\frac{6}{x^{3}y^{4}}$

$\frac{\partial f }{\partial y} =\frac{\partial }{\partial y} ( x^{-2}y^{-3})$

$= -3 x^{-2}y^{-4}$

$\frac{\partial ^2 f}{\partial y^2} = \frac{\partial }{\partial y} \left ( -3 x^{-2}y^{-4} \right )$

$=-3 (-4) x^{-2}y^{-5}$

$=12x^{-2}y^{-5}$

$=\frac{12}{x^{2}y^{5}}$

The Hessian of is

Question

Give the Hessian matrix for the function $f(x, y) = \sin (xy)+ \cos (xy)$ .

Answer

The Hessian matrix of a function is the matrix of partial second derivatives

$\begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x\partial y } \ \ \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y\partial x } & \frac{\partial^2 f}{ \partial y^2 } \end{bmatrix}$

Find each of these derivatives as follows:

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial }{\partial x} ( \sin (xy)+\cos (xy ))$

$= \frac{\partial }{\partial x}(xy) \cdot ( \cos (xy)-\sin (xy ))$

$=y( \cos (xy)-\sin (xy ))$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2}= \frac{\partial }{\partial x} (y( \cos (xy)-\sin (xy )))$

$= y \cdot \frac{\partial }{\partial x} ( \cos (xy)-\sin (xy ))$

$= y \cdot \frac{\partial }{\partial x}(xy ) \cdot ( -\sin(xy)-\cos (xy ))$

$= y \cdot y \cdot ( -\sin(xy)-\cos (xy ))$

$=- y ^{2}( \sin(xy)+\cos (xy ))$

$\frac{\partial f^{2}}{\partial y\partial x } = \frac{\partial f^{2}}{\partial x\partial y } =\frac{\partial }{\partial y} (y( \cos (xy)-\sin (xy )))$

$=y \cdot \frac{\partial }{\partial y} ( ( \cos (xy)-\sin (xy ))) + \frac{\partial }{\partial y} (y) ( \cos (xy)-\sin (xy ))$

$=y \cdot \frac{\partial }{\partial y}(xy)\cdot ( -\sin(xy)-\cos (xy )) + 1 ( \cos (xy)-\sin (xy ))$

$=y \cdot x\cdot ( -\sin(xy)-\cos (xy )) + ( \cos (xy)-\sin (xy ))$

$= \cos (xy ) - \sin(xy ) -xy (\sin(xy)+\cos(xy ))$

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial }{\partial y} ( \sin (xy)+\cos (xy ))$

$= \frac{\partial }{\partial y}(xy) \cdot ( \cos (xy)-\sin (xy ))$

$=x( \cos (xy)-\sin (xy ))$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y^2}= \frac{\partial }{\partial y} (x( \cos (xy)-\sin (xy )))$

$= x \cdot \frac{\partial }{\partial y} ( \cos (xy)-\sin (xy ))$

$= x \cdot \frac{\partial }{\partial y}(xy ) \cdot ( -\sin(xy)-\cos (xy ))$

$= x \cdot x \cdot ( -\sin(xy)-\cos (xy ))$

$=- x ^{2}( \sin(xy)+\cos (xy ))$

The Hessian matrix is

$\begin{bmatrix}- y ^{2}( \sin(xy)+\cos (xy )) & \cos (xy ) - \sin(xy ) -xy (\sin(xy)+\cos(xy )) \ \cos (xy ) - \sin(xy ) -xy (\sin(xy)+\cos(xy )) & -x ^{2}( \sin(xy)+\cos (xy )) \end{bmatrix}$

Question

Give the Hessian matrix for the function $f(x,y) = xy^{2}e^{x}$ .

Answer

The Hessian matrix of a function is the matrix of partial second derivatives

$\begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x\partial y } \ \ \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y\partial x } & \frac{\partial^2 f}{ \partial y^2 } \end{bmatrix}$

Find each of these derivatives as follows:

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial }{\partial x}(xy^{2}e^{x})$

$=y^{2} \frac{\partial }{\partial x}(xe^{x})$

$=y^{2}\left ( x \frac{\partial }{\partial x} e^{x}+ e^{x} \frac{\partial }{\partial x}x \right )$

$=y^{2}\left ( x \cdot e^{x}+ e^{x} \cdot 1 \right )$

$=y^{2}\left ( x e^{x}+ e^{x} \right )$

$\frac{ \partial^2 f}{\partial x^2}= \frac{\partial }{\partial x}(y^{2}\left ( x e^{x}+ e^{x} \right ))$

$=y^{2} \frac{\partial }{\partial x} ( x e^{x}+ e^{x} )$

$=y^{2} \left (\frac{\partial }{\partial x} ( x e^{x})+ \frac{\partial }{\partial x} (e^{x} ) \right )$

$=y^{2} ( x e^{x}+ e^{x} + e^{x} )$

$=y^{2} ( x e^{x}+ 2 e^{x} )$

$=( x + 2 )e^{x} y^{2}$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x\partial y }= \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y\partial x } = \frac{\partial }{\partial y}(y^{2}\left ( x e^{x}+ e^{x} \right ))$

$=\left ( x e^{x}+ e^{x} \right ) \frac{\partial }{\partial y}(y^{2})$

$= \left ( x e^{x}+ e^{x} \right ) \cdot 2y$

$=2 \left ( x + 1 \right )e^{x}y$

$\frac{\partial f}{\partial y} = \frac{\partial }{\partial y}(xy^{2}e^{x})$

$=xe^{x} \frac{\partial }{\partial y}y^{2}$

$=xe^{x} \cdot 2y$

$=2xe^{x} y$

$\frac{\partial f^{2}}{\partial^{2} y} = \frac{\partial }{\partial y}(2xe^{x} y)$

$=2xe^{x} \frac{\partial }{\partial y}y$

$=2xe^{x} \cdot 1$

$=2xe^{x }$

The Hessian matrix is

$\begin{bmatrix} ( x + 2 )e^{x} y^{2} & 2 \left ( x + 1 \right )e^{x}y \ 2 \left ( x + 1 \right )e^{x}y &2xe^{x } \end{bmatrix}$ ,

which can be rewritten, after a little algebra, as

$e^{x}\begin{bmatrix} x y^{2}+ 2 y^{2} & 2 x y +2 y \ 2xy+2y &2x \end{bmatrix}$ .

Question

Give the Hessian matrix of the function $f(x,y) = \cos x \sin y$ .

Answer

The Hessian matrix of a function is the matrix of partial second derivatives:

$\begin{bmatrix} \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2} & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial y} \ \ \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial x } & \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y^2} \end{bmatrix}$ .

To get the entries, find these derivatives as follows:

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x^2} = \frac{\partial^2 }{\partial x^2} ( \cos x \sin y)$

$=\sin y \frac{\partial^2 }{\partial x^2} ( \cos x )$

$=\sin y ( - \cos x )$

$= -\cos x \sin y$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial x \partial y}= \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y \partial x } = \frac{\partial }{\partial x} \frac{\partial }{\partial y} (\cos x \sin y)$

$= \frac{\partial }{\partial x}(\cos x \frac{\partial }{\partial y} ( \sin y))$

$= \frac{\partial }{\partial x}(\cos x \cos y)$

$= \cos y \frac{\partial }{\partial x}(\cos x )$

$= \cos y (- \sin x )$

$= - \sin x \cos y$

$\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y^2} = \frac{\partial^2 }{\partial y^2} ( \cos x \sin y)$

$=\cos x \frac{\partial^2 }{\partial y^2} ( \sin y)$

$=\cos x \frac{\partial }{\partial y } ( \cos y)$

$=\cos x ( - \sin y)$

$= -\cos x \sin y$

The Hessian matrix is $\begin{bmatrix} -\cos x \sin y & - \sin x \cos y \ - \sin x \cos y & -\cos x \sin y \end{bmatrix}$ .
