[c] Essentially, backpropagation evaluates the expression for the derivative of the cost function as a product of derivatives between each layer from right to left – "backwards" – with the gradient of the weights between each layer being a simple modification of the partial products (the "backwards propagated error").
Automatic differentiation is a subtle and central tool to automatize the simultaneous computation of the numerical values of arbitrarily complex functions and their derivatives with no need for the symbolic representation of the derivative, only the function rule or an algorithm thereof is required [3] [4]. Auto-differentiation is thus neither ...

The perceptron uses the Heaviside step function as the activation function (), and that means that ′ does not exist at zero, and is equal to zero elsewhere, which makes the direct application of the delta rule impossible.
In calculus, the chain rule is a formula that expresses the derivative of the composition of two differentiable functions f and g in terms of the derivatives of f and g.More precisely, if = is the function such that () = (()) for every x, then the chain rule is, in Lagrange's notation, ′ = ′ (()) ′ (). or, equivalently, ′ = ′ = (′) ′.
The derivative of with respect to yields the state equation as shown before, and the state variable is =. The derivative of L {\displaystyle {\mathcal {L}}} with respect to u {\displaystyle u} is equivalent to the adjoint equation, which is, for every δ u ∈ R m {\displaystyle \delta _{u}\in \mathbb {R} ^{m}} ,
This function has a continuous derivative, which allows it to be used in backpropagation. This function is also preferred because its derivative is easily calculated:
In machine learning, the vanishing gradient problem is encountered when training neural networks with gradient-based learning methods and backpropagation. In such methods, during each training iteration, each neural network weight receives an update proportional to the partial derivative of the loss function with respect to the current weight. [1]
