Class Notes

The notes below are by the students and for the students. Hopefully they are useful, but they come with no guarantee of any kind.

Differentiability

Let U, V and W be two normed finite dimensional vector spaces and let f:V\rightarrow W be a function defined on a neighborhood of the point x.

Definition:

We say that f is differentiable (diffable) at x if there is a linear map L so that

\lim_{h\rightarrow0}\frac{|f(x+h)-f(x)-L(h)|}{|h|}=0.

In this case we will say that L is a differential of f at x and will denote it by df_{x}.

Theorem

If f:V\rightarrow W and g:U\rightarrow V are diffable maps then the following assertions hold:

  1. df_{x} is unique.
  2. d(f+g)_{x}=df_{x}+dg_{x}
  3. If f is linear then df_{x}=f
  4. d(f\circ g)_{x}=df_{g(x)}\cdot dg_{x}
  5. For every scalar number \alpha it holds d(\alpha f)_{x}=\alpha df_{x}

Implicit Function Theorem

Example Although x^2+y^2=1 does not define y as a function of x, in a neighborhood of (0;-1) we can define g(x)=-\sqrt{1-x^2} so that x^2+g(x)^2=1. Furthermore, g is differentiable with differential dg_{x}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}. This is a motivation for the following theorem.

Notation

If f:X\times Y\rightarrow Z then given x\in X we will define f_{[x]}:Y\rightarrow Z by f_{[x]}(y)=f(x;y).

Definition

C^{p}(V) will be the class of all functions defined on V with continuous partial derivatives up to order p.

Theorem(Implicit function theorem)

Let f:\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^m\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^m be a C^{1}(\mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^m) function defined on a neighborhood U of the point (x_0;y_0) and such that f(x_0;y_0)=0 and suppose that d(f_{[x]})_{y} is non-singular then, the following results holds:

There is an open neighborhood of x_0, V\subset U, and a diffable function g:V\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^m such that g(x_0)=y_0 and for every x\in V f(x;g(x))=0..
