Everything about Inverse function theorem

Theorem in mathematics

In mathematical analysis, the inverse function theorem gives sufficient conditions for a function to have an inverse function. The essential idea is that if the best linear approximation to the function at a point is invertible, then with sufficient regularity assumptions, the function should also be invertible near that point. In its simplest form, the theorem states that if a real function f is differentiable in an open interval, with a continuous derivative, then in a neighborhood of any point where the derivative is not zero, f has an inverse function. The inverse function is also continuously differentiable, and the inverse function rule expresses its derivative as the multiplicative inverse of the derivative of f. Wikipedia →
