Symmetric rank-one

The Symmetric Rank 1 (SR1) method is a quasi-Newton method to update the second derivative (Hessian)based on the derivatives (gradients) calculated at two points. It is a generalization to the secant method for a multidimensional problem.This update maintains the symmetry of the matrix but does not guarantee that the update be positive definite. The sequence of Hessian approximations generated by the SR1 method converges to the true Hessian under mild conditions, in theory; in practice, the approximate Hessians generated by the SR1 method show faster progress towards the true Hessian than do popular alternatives (BFGS or DFP), in preliminary numerical experiments. The SR1 method has computational advantages for sparse or problems. A twice continuously differentiable function has a gradient and Hessian matrix : The function has an expansion as a Taylor series at , which can be truncated ; its gradient has a Taylor-series approximation also , which is used to update . The above secant-equation need not have a unique solution .The SR1 formula computes (via an update of rank 1) the symmetric solution that is closest to the current approximate-value : , where . The corresponding update to the approximate inverse-Hessian is . One might wonder why positive-definiteness is not preserved — after all, a rank-1 update of the form is positive-definite if is. The explanation is that the update might be of the form instead because the denominator can be negative, and in that case there are no guarantees about positive-definiteness. The SR1 formula has been rediscovered a number of times. A drawback is that the denominator can vanish. Some authors have suggested that the update be applied only if , where is a small number, e.g. . (Wikipedia).

Symmetric Groups (Abstract Algebra)

Symmetric groups are some of the most essential types of finite groups. A symmetric group is the group of permutations on a set. The group of permutations on a set of n-elements is denoted S_n. Symmetric groups capture the history of abstract algebra, provide a wide range of examples in

What is the Symmetric Difference of 2 Sets?

What is the symmetric difference of 2 sets? In this video we go over the symmetric difference of sets, explaining it in a couple ways including what is probably the briefest way. The symmetric difference of two sets A and B is (A union B)-(A intersect B). If you need to know what the defin

What is Rank?

Definition of Rank and showing Rank(A) = Dim Col(A) In this video, I define the notion of rank of a matrix and I show that it is the same as the dimension of the column space of that matrix. This is another illustration of the beautiful interplay between linear transformations and matrice
