Error Function Reverse Mode Theory
##################################

Notation
********
We use the reverse theory
:ref:`standard math function<reverse_theory@Standard Math Functions>`
definition for the functions :math:`H` and :math:`G`.

Positive Orders Z(t)
********************
For order :math:`j > 0`,
suppose that :math:`H` is the same as :math:`G`.

.. math::

   z^{(j)}
   =
   \frac{1}{j}  \sum_{k=1}^j k x^{(k)} y^{(j-k)}

For :math:`k = 1 , \ldots , j`,
the partial of :math:`H` with respect to :math:`x^{(k)}` is given by

.. math::

   \D{H}{ x^{(k)} }
   =
   \D{G}{ x^{(k)} } + \D{G}{ z^{(j)} } \D{ z^{(j)} }{ x^{(k)} }
   =
   \D{G}{ x^{(k)} } + \D{G}{ z^{(j)} } \frac{k}{j} y^{(j-k)}

For :math:`k = 1 , \ldots ,  j`
The partial of :math:`H` with respect to :math:`y^{j-k}`,
is given by

.. math::

   \D{H}{ y^{(j-k)} }
   =
   \D{G}{ y^{(j-k)} } + \D{G}{ z^{(j)} } \D{ z^{(j)} }{ y^{(j-k)} }
   =
   \D{G}{ y^{(j-k)} } + \D{G}{ z^{(j)} } \frac{k}{j} x^{k}

Order Zero Z(t)
***************
The :math:`z^{(0)}` coefficient
is expressed as a function of the Taylor coefficients
for :math:`X(t)` and :math:`Y(t)` as follows:
In this case,

.. math::

   \D{H}{ x^{(0)} }
   =
   \D{G}{ x^{(0)} } + \D{G}{ z^{(0)} } \D{ z^{(0)} }{ x^{(0)} }
   =
   \D{G}{ x^{(0)} } + \D{G}{ z^{(0)} } y^{(0)}
