Multi-Index Partial Derivatives of a CkC^k Map and of a Smooth Map

Statement

Let nn and mm be natural numbers, let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers, let UU be an open subset of Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, let F=(F1,…,Fm):U→RmF=(F_1,\dots,F_m):U\to\mathbb{R}^{m} have coordinate functions Fj:U→RF_j:U\to\mathbb{R}, and let α\alpha be a multi-index of length nn, of order ∣α∣|\alpha|. Index ranges such as 1≤j≤m1\le j\le m, and the comparison of ∣α∣|\alpha| with a natural number, use the order on the natural numbers. Multi-index partial derivatives are those of Partial Derivative of a Multi-Index on a Euclidean Open Set. Then the following hold.

1. (CkC^{k} maps) Let kk be a natural number, and assume that FF is of class CkC^{k} on UU and that ∣α∣≤k|\alpha|\le k. Then ∂αF\partial^{\alpha}F exists on UU and, for every jj with 1≤j≤m1\le j\le m, the function ∂αFj:U→R\partial^{\alpha}F_j:U\to\mathbb{R} is continuous at every point of UU.

2. (Smooth maps) Assume that FF is smooth on UU. Then ∂αF\partial^{\alpha}F exists on UU and the map ∂αF:U→Rm\partial^{\alpha}F:U\to\mathbb{R}^{m} is smooth on UU.
