Hessian Calculation using AD

In extension to our earlier work on linear and adjoint code development using Automatic Differentiation (AD), we have developed a test code that calculates the entire Hessian of a function of interest with respect to design variables. This is a very simple 2D inviscid airfoil code demonstrating the method. The work was presented at the 4th AD Workshop, Aachen, 2006.
