Computation of these objects can be accelerated by applying a graph coloring algorithm to find directions without perturbation confusion. Whether this object comes first or second in a vector product determines whether AD is forward-mode or reverse-mode. Implicit solvers may avoid recomputing this object at each step by using Newton-Krylov methods that are [this object]-free. This object is iteratively approximated when rootfinding using Broyden’s method. The (*) stiffness of a system of ODEs is given by the condition number of this object, whose eigenvalues determine the stability of the system's steady states. The determinant of this object is inserted into an integral when changing coordinates, such as from Cartesian to polar. For 10 points, name this matrix whose entries are a function’s first-order partial derivatives. ■END■
