这一节和下一节讨论的是两个比较特殊的多元微分情景,即反函数和隐函数,本节的主要结论是只要导数是非奇异的,那么
有一个可微的反函数
。作者将过程分成了三个定理逐步证明。
Exercises
Exercise 1. Let be defined by the equation
.
( a ) Show that is one-to-one on the set
consisting of all
with
.
( b ) What is the set ?
( c ) If is the inverse function, find
.
Solution:
( a ) Suppose , in which
, then we know
and
, also since
, we have
, thus
, together with
we have
, and thus
, together with
we get
, so
is one-to-one.
( b ) Since , we write
, in which
, then
, in which
, thus we can never have
, also
and
cannot be
simultaneously, we get
.
( c ) We have , in which
, which satisfies
, solve it we get
, as
we know that
Exercise 2. Let be defined by the equation

( a ) Show that is one-to-one on the set
consisting of all
with
.
( b ) What is the set ?
( c ) If is the inverse function, find
.
Solution:
( a ) Suppose , in which
, then since
, we have
, thus
, so we have
and
, thus
.
( b ) Since , we know
, and when
, thus
.
( c ) We have , in which
, which satisfies
, solve it we get
, as
we have
Exercise 3. Let be given by the equation
. Show that
is of class
and that
carries the unit ball
onto itself in a one-to-one fashion. Show, however, that the inverse function is not differentiable at
.
Solution: That is of class
is easy to verify. Next we show
carries
onto itself in a one-to-one fashion.
Suppose with
, write
, then we have
When all and
are 0, the result holds naturally, if any
, then the corresponding
and we have
Let , then we have
and
for
, thus
which means and
, so
.
Conversely, for any , we can write
, then if
we let
with
we have . If
we just notice that
.
Finnaly, we show the inverse function is not differentiable at . Assume so, then
shall be non-singular. But it is easy to calculate
for
, thus
is the square matrix with all entries 0, and singular, this is a contradiction.
Exercise 4. Let be given by the equation
. Let
be given by the equation
.
( a ) Show that there is a neighborhood of that
carries in a one-to-one fashion onto a neighborhood of
.
( b ) Find at
.
Solution:
( a ) By Lemma 8.1, it is enough to to show that is non-singular, since
we have
( b ) First, and
. By the chain rule we have
We calculate :
also we have
so
Exercise 5. Let be open in
; let
be of class
; assume
is non-singular for
. Show that even if
is not one-to-one on
, the set
is open in
.
Solution: Choose any , since
, there exists
such that
, since
is non-singular, by Theorem 8.3, there is a neighborhood
of
such that
is open in
and
is an isomorphism on
, the inverse function
is of class
.
Since is open, we can find a neighborhood
of
such that
, the set
is a neighborhood of
and is contained in
, which means
is contained in
. Since
is continuous and
, we see that
is open, the conclusion follows as
.
