The nth-Order Comprehensive Adjoint Sensitivity Analysis Methodology, Volume III

af Dan Gabriel Cacuci

This text describes a comprehensive adjoint sensitivity analysis methodology (C-ASAM), developed by the author, enabling the efficient and exact computation of arbitrarily high-order functional derivatives of model responses to model parameters in large-scale systems. The model¿s responses can be either scalar-valued functionals of the model¿s parameters and state variables (as customarily encountered, e.g., in optimization problems) or general function-valued responses, which are often of inter...
