Coordinate Functions, the CkC^k Hierarchy, and Partial Derivatives 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 kk be a natural number. Index ranges such as 1≤j≤m1\le j\le m use the order on the natural numbers. Then the following hold.

1. (Coordinate functions) FF is of class CkC^{k} on UU if and only if FjF_j is of class CkC^{k} on UU for every jj with 1≤j≤m1\le j\le m. Likewise, FF is smooth on UU if and only if FjF_j is smooth on UU for every jj with 1≤j≤m1\le j\le m.

2. (Hierarchy) If FF is of class Ck+1C^{k+1} on UU, then FF is of class CkC^{k} on UU.

3. (Partial derivatives of a smooth map) If FF is smooth on UU, then for all ii and jj with 1≤i≤n1\le i\le n and 1≤j≤m1\le j\le m the partial derivative of FjF_j with respect to the iith variable exists at every point of UU, and the function ∂iFj:U→R\partial_i F_j:U\to\mathbb{R} whose value at x∈Ux\in U is that partial derivative at xx is smooth on UU.
