Reason: Initial publication: partial derivatives, continuity, class C^k and smoothness are inherited by the restriction of a map to an open subset of its domain.

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 VUV\subseteq U be open in Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}.

Let f=(f1,,fm):URmf=(f_{1},\dots,f_{m}):U\to\mathbb{R}^{m} and g:URg:U\to\mathbb{R}, and let fV:VRmf|_{V}:V\to\mathbb{R}^{m} and gV:VRg|_{V}:V\to\mathbb{R} be their restrictions to VV, whose values at xVx\in V are f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x); the coordinate functions of fVf|_{V} are the restrictions fjVf_{j}|_{V}.

Let i{1,,n}i\in\{1,\dots,n\}, let xVx\in V and let LRL\in\mathbb{R}. Then the following hold.

1. (Partial derivatives) The partial derivative of gVg|_{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(gV)(x)=ig(x)\partial_{i}(g|_{V})(x)=\partial_{i}g(x).

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

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

4. (Smoothness) If ff is smooth on UU, then fVf|_{V} is smooth on VV; likewise for gg and gVg|_{V}.
