   In my opinion:
   For the function y=sign(x) , y = 1 when x > 0, y = -1 when x < 0. Therefore, the derivative is 0 except x = 0. 
   The function y=sign(x) is discontinuous at x=0 where the derivative is undefined in the mathematical logic. However, an undefined derivative leads to a nan number, so we used a derivative of zero also at x=0.
   
   As a result, dx is always 0 while the output shape (size of array) is the same as input shape.
