Inverse function theorem, the "easy half" #
In this file we prove several versions of the following theorem.
Consider three functions f : F → G, g : E → F, and h : E → G,
together with "candidate derivatives" f' : F →L[𝕜] G, g' : E →L[𝕜] F, and h' : E →L[𝕜] G.
Suppose that
f ∘ g = hin a neighborhood ofa;hhas derivativeh'ata;fhas derivativef'atg a;gis continuous ata;- either
f'has a right inversef'⁻¹andg' = f'⁻¹ ∘ h', orf'is a topological embedding andh' = f' ∘ g'.
Then g has derivative g' at a.
We prove these theorems for different differentiability predicates,
then specialize it to the cases when f' is a linear equivalence and/or h = id.
Left inverse #
In this section, we prove that g has derivative f'⁻¹ ∘ h'
whenever h = f ∘ g has derivative h' and f'⁻¹ is a left inverse to f'.
Embedding #
In this section we show that g has derivative g'
provided that h = f ∘ g has derivative f' ∘ g', where f' is a topological embedding.
Local left inverse (equivalence) #
If f (g x) = x for x in some neighborhood of a, g is continuous at a,
and f has an invertible derivative f' at g a, then g has the derivative f'⁻¹ at a.
This is one of the easy parts of the inverse function theorem: it assumes that we already have an inverse function.
If f (g x) = x for x in a neighborhood of a within s,
g maps a neighborhood of a within s to a neighborhood of g a within t,
and f has an invertible derivative f' at g a within t,
then g has the derivative f'⁻¹ at a within s.
This is one of the easy parts of the inverse function theorem: it assumes that we already have an inverse function.
If f (g y) = y for y in some neighborhood of a, g is continuous at a, and f has an
invertible derivative f' at g a in the strict sense, then g has the derivative f'⁻¹ at a
in the strict sense.
This is one of the easy parts of the inverse function theorem: it assumes that we already have an inverse function.
If f is an open partial homeomorphism defined on a neighbourhood of f.symm a, and f has an
invertible derivative f' in the sense of strict differentiability at f.symm a, then f.symm has
the derivative f'⁻¹ at a.
