Proof of Euclidean Space is Open in Itself, and Maps are Continuous
lemmalem:euclidean-space-open-ck-continuous-2026aProof of claim 1. Let and take , which satisfies by claim 6 of Elementary Order Arithmetic in an Ordered Field. Every point satisfying belongs to , since by hypothesis it is a point of . Thus the condition of Open Subset of Euclidean Space is met at every point of , and is open in .
Proof of claim 2. By claim 6 of Arithmetic of Addition on the Natural Numbers, either or there is a natural number with , where is the successor map of Natural Numbers; and by claim 1 of Arithmetic of Addition on the Natural Numbers. If there is nothing to prove. Otherwise , and clause 2 of C^k Maps on a Euclidean Open Set says that a map is of class on precisely when it is of class on and its partial derivatives satisfy a further condition; in particular is of class on .
Proof of claim 3. By claim 2, is of class on . Clause 1 of C^k Maps on a Euclidean Open Set then gives, for every with , that the coordinate function is continuous at every point of in the Euclidean sense.
Fix such a and a point . Claim 1 of Euclidean Continuity Agrees with Metric Continuity for Real-Valued Functions, applied with , with and with this , states that continuity of at in the Euclidean sense holds if and only if is continuous at relative to as a map from into . The former holds, hence so does the latter; and was arbitrary.
Finally, suppose is smooth on . By Smooth Map on a Euclidean Open Set, is then of class on for every natural number ; taking , the two preceding paragraphs apply and give the same conclusions.
