Matrix derivative with respect to an orthogonal matrix

260 Views Asked by At

Consider the following function:

$$\ f(U)= UU^TXUU^TY $$

where $\ U \in \Re^{n*m} $ ,$\ U^TU = I_m$ and X and Y are Symmetric positive definite matrices with dimension $\ n$.

What is the derivative of $\ f(U)$ with respect to $\ U$ ?

Thank you so much
