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 = h in a neighborhood of a;
• h has derivative h' at a;
• f has derivative f' at g a;
• g is continuous at a;
• either f' has a right inverse f'⁻¹ and g' = f'⁻¹ ∘ h', or f' is a topological embedding and h' = 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.
