This function computes the derivative of the function $$v\mapsto \frac{v}{\|v\|}$$ with respect to y.
Details
The first derivative of the normalization operator is $$\frac{\partial}{\partial y}\left(v\mapsto \frac{v}{\|v\|}\right)=\frac{1}{\|v\|}\left(I_n - \frac{v v^ \top}{v^\top v}\right) \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}$$
