Reason: Replacement for the redacted def:differentiable-map-at-point-euclidean-2026a. Differentiability is defined by positing a derivative matrix A, independently of the partial derivatives, instead of presupposing the partials and defining it through the Jacobian built from them.

Statement

Let nn and mm be natural numbers, let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers, and let UU be an open subset of Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^n. Let f:URmf:U\to\mathbb{R}^m, let aUa\in U, and let AA be a real matrix with mm rows and nn columns.

Write \lVert\,\cdot\,\rVert for the Euclidean norm, used both on Rn\mathbb{R}^n and on Rm\mathbb{R}^m; write x+yx+y for the sum of points of Rn\mathbb{R}^n, zzz-z' for the difference of points of Rm\mathbb{R}^m, and AvAv for the matrix-vector product.

We say that ff is differentiable at aa with derivative matrix AA if for every real ε\varepsilon with 0<ε0<\varepsilon there exists a real δ\delta with 0<δ0<\delta such that every hRnh\in\mathbb{R}^n with 0<h<δ0<\lVert h\rVert<\delta satisfies a+hUa+h\in U and

f(a+h)f(a)Ahεh.\lVert f(a+h)-f(a)-A\,h\rVert\le\varepsilon\,\lVert h\rVert .

We say that ff is differentiable at aa if it is differentiable at aa with derivative matrix AA for some such matrix AA.
