Derivative of the trace of a Kronecker product
$begingroup$
I am trying to compute the derivative
$frac{partial}{partial W} text{Tr}(W^top A (Iotimes W)B),$
where $Winmathbb{R}^{Dtimes d}, Iinmathbb{R}^{Ttimes T}$ is an identity matrix, $Ainmathbb{R}^{Dtimes DT}$, and $Binmathbb{R}^{dTtimes d}$.
I have found a similar post:
Derivative involving the trace of a Kronecker product
but it seems that the method is not applicable to my problem.
Thank you!

The technique from the linked post can be applied to the current problem.
Write the function in terms of the trace/Frobenius product, and find its differential
$$eqalign{
phi &= W:A(Iotimes W)B = A^TWB^T:(Iotimes W) cr
dphi &= A(Iotimes W)B:dW + A^TWB^T:(Iotimes dW)
}$$
At this point, we need use the Pitsianis decomposition on that last term.
$$eqalign{
A^TWB^T &= sum_k Y_kotimes Z_k cr
}$$
The matrices $(Y_k,Z_k)$ are shaped like $(I,W)$ respectively.
Finish calculating the differential, then on to the gradient.
$$eqalign{
dphi
&= A(Iotimes W)B:dW + sum_kY_kotimes Z_k:(Iotimes dW) cr
&= Big(A(Iotimes W)B + sum_k(I:Y_k)Z_kBig):dW cr
frac{partialphi}{partial W} &= A(Iotimes W)B + sum_k {rm tr}(Y_k),Z_k crcr
}$$
Another technique uses the SVD of
$$B=sum_ksigma_ku_kv_k^T$$
to handle the second term of $dphi$ as follows.
$$eqalign{
A^TW:(Iotimes dW)B
&= sum_k,A^TW:(Iotimes dW)sigma_ku_kv_k^T cr
&= sum_k,(A^TWsigma_kv_k):(Iotimes dW)u_k cr
&= sum_k,q_k:{rm vec}(dW,U_k) cr
&= sum_k,Q_k:dW,U_k cr
&= sum_k,Q_kU_k^T:dW cr
}$$
where
$$eqalign{
{rm vec}(Q_k) &= q_k = A^TWsigma_kv_k cr
{rm vec}(U_k) &= u_k cr
}$$
Yielding the gradient as
$$eqalign{
frac{partialphi}{partial W} &= A(Iotimes W)B + sum_k Q_kU_k^T cr
}$$

Thanks a lot for the reply! But one question is: $A^top W B^top$ is also a function of $W$, so we cannot do the decomposition, am I right?

The dependence of the function on the $A^TWB^T$ term was accounted for by the first term in the differential expression. Perform the Pitsianis decomposition using the current value of $W$.

$$eqalign{
phi &= W:A(Iotimes W)B = A^TWB^T:(Iotimes W) cr
dphi &= A(Iotimes W)B:dW + A^TWB^T:(Iotimes dW)
}$$
At this point, we need use the Pitsianis decomposition on that last term.
$$eqalign{
A^TWB^T &= sum_k Y_kotimes Z_k cr
}$$
The matrices $(Y_k,Z_k)$ are shaped like $(I,W)$ respectively.
Finish calculating the differential, then on to the gradient.
$$eqalign{
dphi
&= A(Iotimes W)B:dW + sum_kY_kotimes Z_k:(Iotimes dW) cr
&= Big(A(Iotimes W)B + sum_k(I:Y_k)Z_kBig):dW cr
frac{partialphi}{partial W} &= A(Iotimes W)B + sum_k {rm tr}(Y_k),Z_k crcr
}$$
Another technique uses the SVD of
$$B=sum_ksigma_ku_kv_k^T$$
to handle the second term of $dphi$ as follows.
$$eqalign{
A^TW:(Iotimes dW)B
&= sum_k,A^TW:(Iotimes dW)sigma_ku_kv_k^T cr
&= sum_k,(A^TWsigma_kv_k):(Iotimes dW)u_k cr
&= sum_k,q_k:{rm vec}(dW,U_k) cr
&= sum_k,Q_k:dW,U_k cr
&= sum_k,Q_kU_k^T:dW cr
}$$
where
$$eqalign{
{rm vec}(Q_k) &= q_k = A^TWsigma_kv_k cr
{rm vec}(U_k) &= u_k cr
}$$
Yielding the gradient as
$$eqalign{
