Let f:U→Rn be a map on an open subset U⊂Rm. Explain what it means for f to be differentiable on U. If g:V→Rm is a differentiable map on an open subset V⊂Rp with g(V)⊂U, state and prove the Chain Rule for the derivative of the composite fg.
Suppose now F:Rn→R is a differentiable function for which the partial derivatives D1F(x)=D2F(x)=…=DnF(x) for all x∈Rn. By considering the function G:Rn→R given by
G(y1,…,yn)=F(y1,…,yn−1,yn−i=1∑n−1yi)
or otherwise, show that there exists a differentiable function h:R→R with F(x1,…,xn)= h(x1+⋯+xn) at all points of Rn.
