Hi all, Does anybody know why the following code produces different (incorrect) jacobians using ForwardDiff? The function being differentiated contains sparse matrices, but if I don’t expand them to dense matrices the jacobian from the sparse function is incorrect… using SparseArrays, ForwardDiff,…

Incorrect jacobian using ForwardDiff and sparse functions

This seems to be another example of the problem fixed by #481, like this post.
