In mathematics, the inverse function theorem gives sufficient conditions for a vector-valued function to be invertible on an open region containing a point in its ___domain.
The theorem states that if at a point P a function
- f:Rn-->Rn
has a Jacobian determinant that is nonzero, and F is continuously differentiable near P, it is an invertible function near P.
The Jacobian matrix of f-1 at f(P) is then the inverse of Jf, evaluated at P.
