Partial Differentiation with Indicial Notation (Ritz Method for FEM)

[bugatti79]

Folks,

I am stuck on an example which is partial differenting a functional with indicial notation

The functional ##\displaystyle I(c_1,c_2,...c_N)=\frac{1}{2} \int_0^1 \left [ \left (\sum\limits_{j=1}^N c_j \frac{d \phi_j}{dx}\right )^2-\left(\sum\limits_{j=1}^N c_j \phi_j\right)^2+2x^2 \left(\sum\limits_{j=1}^N c_j \phi_j \right)\right ]dx##

Differentiating this wrt to ##c_i## ie

##\displaystyle \frac{\partial I}{\partial c_i}= \int_0^1 \left[ \frac{d \phi_i}{dx} \left(\sum\limits_{j=1}^N c_j \frac{ d\phi_j}{dx} \right )-\phi_i \left(\sum\limits_{j=1}^N c_j \phi_j \right) + \phi_i x^2 \right] dx##

I don't understand how this last line is obtained. If we focus on the first term. I realize that there is a chain rule procedure. My attempt on the first term in first eqn was

##\displaystyle \frac{\partial I}{\partial c_i}= \frac{1}{2}\int_0^1 \left[ 2\left(\sum\limits_{j=1}^N c_j \frac{ d\phi_j}{dx} \right )\frac{d}{dc_i}\left(\sum\limits_{j=1}^N c_j\frac{ d\phi_j}{dx}\right) \right]dx##

Not sure how to handle the indicial notation or how proceed any further.
Any help will be greatly appreciated...thanks

##\displaystyle \frac{\partial I}{\partial c_i}= \frac{1}{2}\int_0^1 \left[ 2\left(\sum\limits_{j=1}^N c_j \frac{ d\phi_j}{dx} \right )\frac{d}{dc_i}\left(\sum\limits_{j=1}^N c_j\frac{ d\phi_j}{dx}\right) \right]dx##

[tex]\frac{d}{dc_i}\left(\sum\limits_{j=1}^N c_j\frac{ d\phi_j}{dx}\right) = \frac{d}{dc_i}\left(c_1\frac{ d\phi_1}{dx} + ... + c_i\frac{ d\phi_i}{dx} + ... + c_N\frac{ d\phi_N}{dx}\right) = 0 + ... + \frac{ d\phi_i}{dx} + ... 0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{d}{dc_i}\left(\sum\limits_{j=1}^N c_j\frac{ d\phi_j}{dx}\right) = \frac{d}{dc_i}\left(c_1\frac{ d\phi_1}{dx} + ... + c_i\frac{ d\phi_i}{dx} + ... + c_N\frac{ d\phi_N}{dx}\right) = 0 + ... + \frac{ d\phi_i}{dx} + ... 0[/tex]

Thank you so much. So the i is some integer between j=1 and j=N.

Cheers
