Publisher's Synopsis
Some insights are given which were gained by one user through experience with the use of the ADIFOR 2.0D software for automatic differentiation of Fortran code. These insights are generally in the area of the user interface with the generated derivative code - particularly the actual form of the interface and the use of derivative objects, including "seed" matrices. Some remarks are given as to how to iterate application of ADIFOR in order to generate second derivative code.Giesy, Daniel P.Langley Research CenterFORTRAN; MATRICES; APPLICATIONS PROGRAMS (COMPUTERS); DIFFERENTIATION; DYNAMICS; DERIVATION
