Restriction of a Map to an Open Subset
lemmaMultivariable Calculuslem:ck-restriction-open-subset-2026aLet be natural numbers and let be the real numbers. Let be an open subset of Euclidean space and let be open in .
Let and , and let and be their restrictions to , whose values at are and ; the coordinate functions of are the restrictions .
Let , let and let . Then the following hold.
1. (Partial derivatives) The partial derivative of with respect to the th variable exists at with value if and only if the partial derivative of with respect to the th variable exists at with value . In particular one exists at exactly when the other does, with the same admissible values, and in that case we write .
2. (Continuity) If is continuous at , then is continuous at ; the same holds with and in place of and .
3. (Class ) For every natural number : if is of class on , then is of class on . By the scalar convention of clause 3 of that definition, the same applies to and .
4. (Smoothness) If is smooth on , then is smooth on ; likewise for and .
