Hi Nick,

Thank you for your reply!

Does you mean that I should make these derivations into vectors and
then define them into matrix?

However, it's a big matrix with size110*110. Also I want to define the
element "x_{ij}" as

if some condition satisfied, x_{ij}= partial Di/partial Pj;

else  x_{ij}=0.

Therefore, it would be a problem if it need me to define each element by hand.

Do you have any idea about this? Thank you very much!

Best,
Nina
