Thank you, Roger. The explanation is extremely clearly and helpful, especially on how to rewrite the 2-norm into matrix multiplication and how the identity matrix is generated. I think I fully understand this process now.

I have another problem. Maybe we can not directly solve it and I think the result might be more complxe than my former problem. The problem is:
if g(x) = ||KX-B||^0.6 with all the other settings as the former problem, what is \partial{g}/\partial{x}?

Do you have any advice on how to solve this equation? Thanks a lot again for your help!
