Abstract

A new proof for adjoint systems of linear equations is presented. The argument is built on the principles of Algorithmic Differentiation. Application to scalar multiplication sets the base line. Generalization yields adjoint inner vector, matrix-vector, and matrix-matrix products leading to an alternative proof for first- as well as higher-order adjoint linear systems.
