Lemma One
Lemma: Let ARn be a rectangle and let f:ARn be continuously differentiable. If there is a number M such that |Djf i(x)|≤M for all x in the interior of A, then
for all x, y2A.
Lemma One
Proof: We have
Lemma One
Proof: Applying the Mean Value Theorem we obtain
for some zij between xj and yj.
Lemma One
Proof: The expression
has absolute value less than or equal to
Lemma One
Proof: Then
since each |yj-xj|≤|y-x|.
Lemma One
Proof: Finally,
which concludes the proof. QED
The Inverse Function Theorem
The Inverse Function Theorem
Theorem: Suppose that f:RnRn is continuously differentiable in an open set containing a, and det f (a)≠0. Then there is an open set V containing a and an open set W containing f(a) such that f:VW has a continuous inverse f -1:WV which is differentiable and for for all y2W satisfies
The Inverse Function Theorem
Proof: Let be the linear transformation Df(a). Then is non-singular, since det f (a)≠0. Now
is the identity linear transformation.
The Inverse Function Theorem
Proof: If the theorem is true for -1f, it is clearly true for f. Therefore we may assume at the outset that is the identity.
The Inverse Function Theorem
Whenever f(a+h)=f(a), we have
But
The Inverse Function Theorem
This means that we cannot have f(x)=f(a) for x arbitrarily close to, but unequal to, a. Therefore, there is a closed rectangle U containing a in its interior such that
The Inverse Function Theorem
Since f is continuously differentiable in an open set containing a, we can also assume that
The Inverse Function Theorem
Since
we can apply Lemma One to g(x)=f(x)-x to get
The Inverse Function Theorem
Since
we have
The Inverse Function Theorem
Now f(boundary U) is a compact set which does not contain f(a). Therefore, there is a number d>0 such that |f(a)-f(x)|≥d for x2boundary U.
The Inverse Function Theorem
Let W={y:|y-f(a)|<d/2}. If y2W and x2boundary U, then
The Inverse Function Theorem
We will show that for any y2W there is a unique x in interior U such that f(x)=y. To prove this consider the function g:UR defined by
The Inverse Function Theorem
This function is continuous and therefore has a minimum on U. If x2boundary U, then, by the formula on slide 20, we have g(a)<g(x). Therefore, the minimum of g does not occur on the boundary of U.
The Inverse Function Theorem
Since the minimum occurs on the interior of U, there must exist a point x2U so that Djg(x)=0 for all j, that is
The Inverse Function Theorem
Since the Jacobian [Djf i(x)] is non-singular, we must have
That is, y=f(x). This proves the existence of x. Uniqueness follows from slide 18.
The Inverse Function Theorem
If V=(interior U)f1(W), we have shown that the function f:VW has inverse f 1:WV. We can rewrite
As
This shows that f-1 is continuous.
The Inverse Function Theorem
We only need to show that f-1 if differentiable.
Let =Df(x). We will show that f-1 is differentiable at y=f(x) with derivative -
1.
The Inverse Function Theorem
Since =Df(x), we know that
Setting (x)=f(x+h)-f(x)-(h), we know that
The Inverse Function Theorem
Hence, we have
The Inverse Function Theorem
Therefore,
The Inverse Function Theorem
Since every y12W is of the form f(x1) for some x12V, this can be written
or
The Inverse Function Theorem
It therefore suffices to show that
Since is a linear transformation, it suffices to show that
The Inverse Function Theorem
Recall that
Also, f-1 is continuous, so
The Inverse Function Theorem
Then
where the first factor goes to 0 and the second factor is bounded by 2. This completes the proof. QED
