Basic facts about manifold derivatives #
This file collects general facts about mfderiv that need nothing beyond Mathlib's basic
manifold-derivative API.
Main results #
TauCeti.mfderiv_comp_of_apply_eq_self: the chain rule at a fixed pointf x = x, with both derivatives taken atx, so the composite is an endomorphism of the single tangent spaceT_x M.HasMFDerivAt.iterate: the chain rule for iterates at a fixed point,d(f^[n])_x = (df_x) ^ n.TauCeti.mfderiv_injective_of_leftInverse: a map with a left inverse differentiable along its image has injective derivative.TauCeti.mfderiv_comp_const_add_smul_apply: the chain rule for the affine reparametrizationw ↦ c + ε • wof a map from a normed space,d(u(c + ε •))_w = ε • du_(c + ε • w), with no differentiability hypothesis.
The chain rule at a fixed point: if f x = x, the derivative of g ∘ f at x is the
composite of the derivatives of g and f at x, the tangent space at f x being that at x.
The chain rule for iterates at a fixed point. If f x = x and f has differential f'
at x, an endomorphism of T_x M, then f^[n] has differential f' ^ n at x. This is the
manifold version of HasFDerivAt.iterate.
A map f with a left inverse g has injective derivative at every point x where f is
differentiable and g is differentiable at f x: by the chain rule, dg_(f x) is a left inverse
of df_x.
The derivative of an affine reparametrization. For a map u from a normed space, the
derivative of w ↦ u (c + ε • w) at w is ε times the derivative of u at c + ε • w. No
differentiability is needed: for ε ≠ 0 the reparametrization is invertible, so both maps are
differentiable or neither is, and for ε = 0 the reparametrized map is constant. This is the
manifold version of fderiv_comp_smul and fderiv_comp_add_left.
