The function is continuously differentiable when all its first partial derivatives exist on

U

and are continuous there. Equivalently,

h

has a Fréchet derivative at every point and the map

x \mapsto D h (x)

is continuous. For a scalar-valued function,

D h (x) v = \sum_{j = 1}^{n} \partial_{j} h (x) v_{j} .

On the open domain, continuous first partial derivatives ensure that this linear expression is the total derivative.
