State the inverse function theorem for maps f:UR2f: U \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{2}, where UU is a non-empty open subset of R2\mathbb{R}^{2}.

Let f:R2R2f: \mathbb{R}^{2} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{2} be the function defined by

f(x,y)=(x,x3+y33xy).f(x, y)=\left(x, x^{3}+y^{3}-3 x y\right) .

Find a non-empty open subset UU of R2\mathbb{R}^{2} such that ff is locally invertible on UU, and compute the derivative of the local inverse.

Let CC be the set of all points (x,y)(x, y) in R2\mathbb{R}^{2} satisfying

x3+y33xy=0x^{3}+y^{3}-3 x y=0

Prove that ff is locally invertible at all points of CC except (0,0)(0,0) and (22/3,21/3)\left(2^{2 / 3}, 2^{1 / 3}\right). Deduce that, for each point (a,b)(a, b) in CC except (0,0)(0,0) and (22/3,21/3)\left(2^{2 / 3}, 2^{1 / 3}\right), there exist open intervals I,JI, J containing a,ba, b, respectively, such that for each xx in II, there is a unique point yy in JJ with (x,y)(x, y) in CC.
