      where d_h is the number of hidden neurons. Then, we have

      where the aforementioned Kronecker product properties have been used.

It follows that (vec (R_u,v))^′ · ∂vec(A_n,u)/∂w can be written as the sum of the four contributions represented by Eqs. (5.87)–(5.90). The second and the fourth terms – Eqs. (5.88) and (5.90) – can be computed directly using the corresponding formulas. The first one can be calculated by observing that looks like the function computed by a three‐layered FNN that is the same as h_w except for the activation function of the last layer. In fact, if we denote by such a network, then

      holds, where . A similar reasoning can be applied also to the third contribution.

Required number of operations: The above method includes two tasks: the matrix multiplications of Eqs. (5.87)–(5.90) and the backpropagation as defined by Eq. (5.91). The former task consists of several matrix multiplications. By inspection of Eqs. (5.87)–(5.90), the number of floating point operations is approximately estimated as 2s² + 12s hi_h + 10s² · hi_h , where hi_h denotes the number of hidden‐layer neurons implementing the function h. The second task has approximately the same cost as a backpropagation phase through the original function h_w. Such a value is obtained from the following observations: for an a × b matrix C and a b × c matrix D, the multiplication CD requires approximately 2abc operations; more precisely, abc multiplications and ac (b − 1) sums. If D is a diagonal b ×b matrix, then CD requires 2ab operations. Similarly, if C is an a × b matrix, D is a b × a matrix, and P_a is the a ² ×a matrix defined above and used in Eqs. (5.87)–(5.90), then computing vec(CD)P_c costs only 2ab operations provided that a sparse representation is used for P_α . Finally, a₁, a₂, a₃ are already available, since they are computed during the forward phase of the learning algorithm. Thus, the complexity of computing ∂p_w/∂w is . Note, however, that even if the sum in Eq. (5.85) ranges over all the arcs of the graph, only those arcs (n, u) such that R_{n, u} ≠ 0 have to be considered. In practice, R_{n, u} ≠ 0 is a rare event, since it happens only when the columns of the Jacobian are larger than μ, and a penalty function was used to limit the occurrence of these cases. As a consequence, a better estimate of the complexity of computing ∂p_w/∂w is O , where t_R is the average number of nodes u such that R_{n, u} ≠ 0 holds for some n.
