I am looking into a problem that involves differentiation of a second order symmetric tensor. I realize that for a non symmetric tensor $C$ gives $\frac{dC_{ij}}{dC_{kl}}=\delta_{ik}\delta_{jl}$. Now, given a symmetric tensor I saw in wikipedia that one gets $\frac{1}{2}(\delta_{ik}\delta_{jl}+\delta_{jk}\delta_{il})$ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_derivative_(continuum_mechanic)
But this does not seem right if you take for example a $2\times2$ matrix $A$ full of ones. You get for example that $\frac{dA_{12}}{dA_{21}}= \frac{1}{2}(\delta_{12}\delta_{21}+\delta_{22}\delta_{11})=\frac{1}{2}$ when the result should be $1$. Any Ideas?
