In detail, if h is a displacement vector represented by a column matrix, the matrix product J(x) ⋅ h is another displacement vector, that is the best linear approximation of the change of f in a neighborhood of x, if f(x) is differentiable at x.
The polynomial x − x p has derivative 1 − p x p−1 which is 1 (because px is 0) but it has no inverse function. However, Kossivi Adjamagbo suggested extending the Jacobian conjecture to characteristic p > 0 by adding the hypothesis that p does not divide the degree of the field extension k(X) / k(F). [3]
Newton's method for solving f(x) = 0 uses the Jacobian matrix, J, at every iteration. However, computing this Jacobian can be a difficult and expensive operation; for large problems such as those involving solving the Kohn–Sham equations in quantum mechanics the number of variables can be in the hundreds of thousands.
Newton's method to find zeroes of a function of multiple variables is given by + = [()] (), where [()] is the left inverse of the Jacobian matrix of evaluated for .. Strictly speaking, any method that replaces the exact Jacobian () with an approximation is a quasi-Newton method. [1]
For functions of more than one variable, the theorem states that if is a continuously differentiable function from an open subset of into , and the derivative ′ is invertible at a point a (that is, the determinant of the Jacobian matrix of f at a is non-zero), then there exist neighborhoods of in and of = such that () and : is bijective.

The Gauss-Newton iteration is guaranteed to converge toward a local minimum point ^ under 4 conditions: [4] The functions , …, are twice continuously differentiable in an open convex set ^, the Jacobian (^) is of full column rank, the initial iterate () is near ^, and the local minimum value | (^) | is small.
The same terminology applies. A regular solution is a solution at which the Jacobian is full rank (). A singular solution is a solution at which the Jacobian is less than full rank. A regular solution lies on a k-dimensional surface, which can be parameterized by a point in the tangent space (the null space of the Jacobian).
In mathematics, matrix calculus is a specialized notation for doing multivariable calculus, especially over spaces of matrices.It collects the various partial derivatives of a single function with respect to many variables, and/or of a multivariate function with respect to a single variable, into vectors and matrices that can be treated as single entities.
