Inverse function theorem in one dimension
A differentiable function with nonzero derivative has a differentiable local inverse.
Inverse function theorem in one dimension
Inverse function theorem (1D): Let be an open interval and let be continuously differentiable. Fix with . Then there exist open intervals and with and such that:
The restriction is bijective, so it has an inverse function .
The inverse is continuously differentiable on , and for all ,
In particular, .
This result combines local monotonicity from the derivative with the chain rule applied to . It is the one-dimensional case of the inverse function theorem in higher dimensions .
