Description

📚 Documentation

In this part How does PyTorch compute the conjugate Wirtinger derivative?, there is a minor sign mistake in the system of equation (3): the second equation should not have the minus (-) sign on the right-hand side.

This mistake also happens on the first line of the equation after that but does not affect the next lines

Also, in the last equation of that part, $$\left(\dfrac{\partial s}{\partial z}\right)^* $$ should have been $$\dfrac{\partial s^* }{\partial z^* }$$
