Restriction of a CkC^k Map to an Open Subset

Statement

Let n,mn,m be natural numbers and let R\mathbb{R} be the real numbers. Let UU be an open subset of Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^{n} and let V⊆UV\subseteq U be open in Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}.

Let f=(f1,…,fm):U→Rmf=(f_{1},\dots,f_{m}):U\to\mathbb{R}^{m} and g:U→Rg:U\to\mathbb{R}, and let f∣V:V→Rmf|_{V}:V\to\mathbb{R}^{m} and g∣V:V→Rg|_{V}:V\to\mathbb{R} be their restrictions to VV, whose values at x∈Vx\in V are f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x); the coordinate functions of f∣Vf|_{V} are the restrictions fj∣Vf_{j}|_{V}.

Let i∈{1,…,n}i\in\{1,\dots,n\}, let x∈Vx\in V and let L∈RL\in\mathbb{R}. Then the following hold.

1. (Partial derivatives) The partial derivative of g∣Vg|_{V} with respect to the iith variable exists at xx with value LL if and only if the partial derivative of gg with respect to the iith variable exists at xx with value LL. In particular one exists at xx exactly when the other does, with the same admissible values, and in that case we write ∂i(g∣V)(x)=∂ig(x)\partial_{i}(g|_{V})(x)=\partial_{i}g(x).

2. (Continuity) If ff is continuous at xx, then f∣Vf|_{V} is continuous at xx; the same holds with gg and g∣Vg|_{V} in place of ff and f∣Vf|_{V}.

3. (Class CkC^{k}) For every natural number kk: if ff is of class CkC^{k} on UU, then f∣Vf|_{V} is of class CkC^{k} on VV. By the scalar convention of clause 3 of that definition, the same applies to gg and g∣Vg|_{V}.

4. (Smoothness) If ff is smooth on UU, then f∣Vf|_{V} is smooth on VV; likewise for gg and g∣Vg|_{V}.
