I have a 4x1 vector with complex elements $mathbfc=left[c_1, dots, c_Nright]^ T $ and the following $ell2$-norm function $f(mathbfc) = |textbfA.textbfc|_2^2 = sum_m=1^Mleft|mathbfa_m^Hmathbfcright|^2=sum_m=1^Mmathbfc^Hmathbfa_mmathbfa_m^Hmathbfc$ , where the elements of c are complex and have the form $c_i = r_icdot exp(jPhi_i)$
I am trying to find the derivatives the aforementioned function given $r_i$ and $Phi_i$



I tried this by decomposing my complex numbers and sums but it takes too long and I cannot shorten my formulas at the end. I think there is an alternative way as this post states but I am unable to find it. Any help or hints are much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

          Given the real vectors $(r,phi)$, define the complex vectors $(p,c,b)$ as
          $$eqalign
          p &= exp(jphi) &implies dp = j,podot dphi cr
          c &= rodot p &implies dc = rodot dp + podot dr cr
          b &= A^HAc cr
          $$

          where $odot$ denotes the elementwise/Hadamard product.

          Further, a colon will denote the trace/Frobenius product, i.e.
          $,,A:B = rm Tr(A^TB)$

          (NB: The exp() function is applied elementwise)



          Calculate the differential of the real function $(f)$ in terms of the real variables $(r,phi)$.
          $$eqalign
          f &= (Ac)^* : Ac cr
          df
          &= (Ac)^* : (A , dc) + (Ac) : (A , dc)^* cr
          &= b^*:dc + b:dc^* cr
          &= b^*:(rodot dp + podot dr) + b:(rodot dp + podot dr)^* cr
          &= (rodot b^*):dp + (r^*odot b):dp^* + (podot b^*):dr + (p^*odot b):dr^* cr
          &= (rodot b^*):(j,podot dphi) + (r^*odot b):(j,podot dphi)^*
          + (podot b^*):dr + (p^*odot b):dr^* cr
          &= (j,p)odot(rodot b^*):dphi + (j,p)^*odot(r^*odot b):dphi^*
          + (podot b^*):dr + (p^*odot b):dr^* cr
          &= 2,mathcal Re(j,podot rodot b^*):dphi + 2,mathcal Re(podot b^*):dr cr
          $$

          The fact that $(dr^*=dr,,,dphi^*=dphi)$ and $mathcal Re(z)=tfrac12(z+z^*)$ allows terms to be combined in that last line.



          In this form, the gradients can be identified as
          $$eqalign
          fracpartial fpartialphi
          &= 2,mathcal Re(j,podot rodot b^*) cr
          &= 2rodot mathcal Im(p^*odot b) cr
          fracpartial fpartial r &= 2,mathcal Re(p^*odot b) cr

          &= (Ac)^* : (A , dc) + (Ac) : (A , dc)^* cr
          &= b^*:dc + b:dc^* cr
          &= b^*:(rodot dp + podot dr) + b:(rodot dp + podot dr)^* cr
          &= (rodot b^*):dp + (r^*odot b):dp^* + (podot b^*):dr + (p^*odot b):dr^* cr
          &= (rodot b^*):(j,podot dphi) + (r^*odot b):(j,podot dphi)^*
          + (podot b^*):dr + (p^*odot b):dr^* cr
          &= (j,p)odot(rodot b^*):dphi + (j,p)^*odot(r^*odot b):dphi^*
          + (podot b^*):dr + (p^*odot b):dr^* cr
          &= 2,mathcal Re(j,podot rodot b^*):dphi + 2,mathcal Re(podot b^*):dr cr
          $$

          The fact that $(dr^*=dr,,,dphi^*=dphi)$ and $mathcal Re(z)=tfrac12(z+z^*)$ allows terms to be combined in that last line.



          In this form, the gradients can be identified as
          $$eqalign
          fracpartial fpartialphi
          &= 2,mathcal Re(j,podot rodot b^*) cr
          &= 2rodot mathcal Im(p^*odot b) cr
          fracpartial fpartial r &= 2,mathcal Re(p^*odot b) cr
          $$

          Given the real vectors $(r,phi)$, define the complex vectors $(p,c,b)$ as
          $$eqalign
          p &= exp(jphi) &implies dp = j,podot dphi cr
          c &= rodot p &implies dc = rodot dp + podot dr cr
          b &= A^HAc cr
          $$

          where $odot$ denotes the elementwise/Hadamard product.

          Further, a colon will denote the trace/Frobenius product, i.e.
          $,,A:B = rm Tr(A^TB)$

          (NB: The exp() function is applied elementwise)



          Calculate the differential of the real function $(f)$ in terms of the real variables $(r,phi)$.
          $$eqalign
          f &= (Ac)^* : Ac cr
          df
          &= (Ac)^* : (A , dc) + (Ac) : (A , dc)^* cr
          &= b^*:dc + b:dc^* cr
          &= b^*:(rodot dp + podot dr) + b:(rodot dp + podot dr)^* cr
          &= (rodot b^*):dp + (r^*odot b):dp^* + (podot b^*):dr + (p^*odot b):dr^* cr
          &= (rodot b^*):(j,podot dphi) + (r^*odot b):(j,podot dphi)^*
          + (podot b^*):dr + (p^*odot b):dr^* cr
          &= (j,p)odot(rodot b^*):dphi + (j,p)^*odot(r^*odot b):dphi^*
          + (podot b^*):dr + (p^*odot b):dr^* cr
          &= 2,mathcal Re(j,podot rodot b^*):dphi + 2,mathcal Re(podot b^*):dr cr
          $$

          The fact that $(dr^*=dr,,,dphi^*=dphi)$ and $mathcal Re(z)=tfrac12(z+z^*)$ allows terms to be combined in that last line.



          In this form, the gradients can be identified as
          $$eqalign
          fracpartial fpartialphi
          &= 2,mathcal Re(j,podot rodot b^*) cr
          &= 2rodot mathcal Im(p^*odot b) cr
          fracpartial fpartial r &= 2,mathcal Re(p^*odot b) cr
          $$

            Thank you for your answer but what do you mean exactly by "the real and imaginary components of a variable are treated independently" and the c you are using here is the vector, I assume? or is it an element of the vector? And how is the $mathbfc*$ relevant here? Anyway my variables are $r_i$ & $Phi_i$ so my derivatives are $fracpartial fpartial Phi_i$ & $fracpartial fpartial r_i$ and not $fracpartial fpartial mathbfc$

            Sorry. the answer has been re-worked to find the gradients with respect to $(r,phi)$ instead of $(c,c^*)$.
