The total derivative of $f$ at $x$ is a linear map $Df(x):{\mathbb{R}}^n\to \mathbb{R}$ satisfyingThe gradient is the vector of partial derivatives, $\nabla f(x)=({\partial }_{1}f(x),\dots ,{\partial }_{n}f(x))$. When $f$ is totally differentiable, these partial derivatives exist andThus the derivative is a linear functional represented by the gradient under the Euclidean inner product. Existence of partial derivatives alone does not imply total differentiability.

Existence of partial derivatives alone does not imply total differentiability.

The Fréchet derivative at $a$ is the linear map $D{f}_a:{\mathbb{R}}^n\to {\mathbb{R}}^k$ satisfyingIt is unique. When both derivatives exist, the chain rule is $D(g\circ f{)}_a=D{g}_{f(a)}\circ D{f}_a$.

For the square map,The remainder has norm at most $\Vert \Delta {\Vert }^2$ in a submultiplicative matrix norm, hence is $o(\Vert \Delta \Vert )$. ThereforeMatrix multiplication is not commutative, so the two terms cannot generally be combined as $2A\Delta$.

A cubic spline is a twice continuously differentiable function whose restriction to each knot interval is a polynomial of degree at most three. Its second derivative is continuous and piecewise linear. Natural endpoint conditions are $C^{\prime \prime }(x_0)=C^{\prime \prime }(x_n)=0$.

Linearity of both the piecewise-polynomial and smoothness conditions, and of the endpoint equations, makes the natural splines a vector space $V$. A continuous piecewise linear second derivative with zero endpoint values is determined freely by its $n-1$ interior nodal values. Integrating twice adds two arbitrary affine constants. HenceThis count includes the case of one interval.

An interpolating spline has $S(x_i)=f_i$ at every node. Set $e=T-S$, so $e$ vanishes at all nodes. On each open knot interval $S^{(3)}$ is constant. Two integrations by parts giveThe terms containing $e$ vanish at nodes. When summed, the interior $e^{\prime }{S}^{\prime \prime }$ terms cancel because $e^{\prime }$ and $S^{\prime \prime }$ are continuous. The two outer terms vanish by the natural endpoint conditions. ThusIntegrating the given square identity now yields the sharper energy decompositionIn particular the natural interpolating spline minimizes the squared-curvature integral.

If $T$ is another natural interpolant, the same minimizing argument in both directions makes the two energies equal. The final nonnegative integral then vanishes, so $T^{\prime \prime }=S^{\prime \prime }$ everywhere by continuity. Their difference is affine and zero at all knots, including the two distinct endpoints, so $T=S$. This proves uniqueness.

It also supplies existence if needed: nodal evaluation is a linear map from the $(n+1)$-dimensional space $V$ to ${\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}$. Its kernel is zero by the same argument with zero data and the zero competitor. It is therefore surjective, so every data vector has a natural spline interpolant.

Differentiability at $x_0$ means that a linear map $A:{\mathbb{R}}^n\to {\mathbb{R}}^m$ exists withThe map $A=Df(x_0)$ is the total derivative. A linear map between these finite-dimensional spaces is bounded, so $\Vert f(x_0+h)-f(x_0)\Vert \le \Vert A\Vert \Vert h\Vert +o(\Vert h\Vert )\to 0$. Thus differentiability implies continuity.

For the displayed two-variable function,Writing $r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ gives $|f(x,y)|/r\le r\to 0$. Therefore it is differentiable at the origin, with derivative zero.

Finally, put $h=x-x_0$, write $f(x_0+h)=Ah+r(h)$ with $r(h)=o(\Vert h\Vert )$, and $g(x_0+h)=g(x_0)+s(h)$ with $s(h)=o(1)$. Since $f(x_0)=0$,By the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality the last two terms are $o(\Vert h\Vert )$: $A$ is bounded and $g(x_0)+s(h)$ stays bounded. HenceOnly continuity of $g$ at $x_0$ is needed, because the vanishing of $f(x_0)$ removes the term which would otherwise require differentiating $g$.

Writing $f=(f_1,\dots ,f_m)$, the $j$th partial derivative at $x$ is the vector limitwhen it exists. The total derivative is a linear map $Df(x):{\mathbb{R}}^n\to {\mathbb{R}}^m$ satisfyingThe Jacobian matrix has entries $J_f(x{)}_{ij}={\partial }_j{f}_i(x)$. If the total derivative exists, its matrix in the standard bases is precisely $J_f(x)$, because substitution of $h=t{e}_j$ identifies every column. Existence of the partial derivatives alone does not in general imply existence of the total derivative.

At $(-1,0)$ the gradient is $(1/2,0{)}^T$. Therefore the total derivative is the linear maprepresented by the Jacobian matrix $\left(\begin{array}{cc}1/2& 0\end{array}\right)$.

Write $A=(X^{T}X{)}^{-1}{X}^T$. Since $AX=I_p$,The errors have mean zero and covariance matrix ${\sigma }^2{I}_n$. ThereforeThus $\hat{\theta }$ is an unbiased estimator. In addition, the multivariate normal distribution is preserved by linear maps, so $\hat{\theta }$ is multivariate normal with the displayed mean and covariance matrix.

If $F:U\subseteq {\mathbb{R}}^n\to {\mathbb{R}}^m$ is differentiable at $x$, and $G$ is defined on a neighborhood of $F(x)$ and differentiable there, the chain rule statesIn standard coordinates the same statement isThe evaluation point in the first factor is $F(x)$, and the matrix order follows the order in which the linear maps act on increments.

The total derivative of $F$ at $x$ is the linear map $D{F}_x:{\mathbb{R}}^n\to {\mathbb{R}}^m$ such thatThe Jacobian matrix is the $m\times n$ matrix $J_F(x)=(\partial F_i/\partial x_j)(x)$. When the total derivative exists, this is its matrix in standard bases: $D{F}_x(h)=J_F(x)h$. Existence of partial derivatives alone need not imply existence of the total derivative.

Put $\delta ={\varphi }_2-{\varphi }_1$. If both coordinate amplitudes are nonzero, eliminate the common phase to obtainFor $\sin \delta \ne 0$, this is an ellipse centred at the origin. The following special cases exhaust the possible nontrivial shapes:

The degenerate zero-amplitude solution is the stationary origin. There are no general multi-loop patterns here because the two angular frequencies are equal. Another useful description is $\mathbf{r}=\mathbf{a}\cos \omega t+\mathbf{b}\sin \omega t$, the image of a circle under a linear map.

Differentiability at $a$ means that there is a linear map $L:V\to V_1$ withThis map is the total derivative $D{f}_a$. In the Frobenius norm, $|AB|\le |A||B|$, by the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality applied to matrix entries. Expanding with the order of all factors preserved givesThe remainder after the terms linear in $H$ has norm at most $3|A||H{|}^2+|H{|}^3=o(|H|)$. HenceFor $|C|<1$, the Neumann series $I-C+C^2-\cdots$ converges absolutely in the finite-dimensional space of matrices. Multiplying its partial sums by $I+C$ and passing to the limit shows that it is $(I+C{)}^{-1}$. Its remainder after $I-C$ has norm at most $|C{|}^2/(1-|C|)=o(|C|)$, proving the required expansion.

If $A$ is an invertible matrix and $|H|<1/|A^{-1}|$, then $A+H=A(I+A^{-1}H)$ is an invertible matrix. Thus the general linear group is an open subset of the matrix space. The preceding expansion also givesApply the chain rule to $g(X)=(X^{-1}{)}^3$, using the cubic total derivative at $A^{-1}$ and this total derivative of inversion:The three terms generally cannot be combined by commuting $A$ and $H$.

Choose a basis for the first subspace of a flag, extend it to a basis for the second, and continue until obtaining a basis of the whole vector space. Do the same for the target flag. The unique linear map sending the first adapted basis to the second is invertible and sends every flagged subspace to its counterpart. Hence the action is transitive.

The $i$th partial derivative is the limit ${\partial }_{i}f(x_0)={\lim }_{t\to 0}[f(x_0+t{e}_i)-f(x_0)]/t$. For a nonzero vector $v$, use the directional convention ${\partial }_{v}f(x_0)={\lim }_{t\to 0}[f(x_0+tv)-f(x_0)]/t$, without normalizing $v$. Differentiability means $f(x_0+h)=f(x_0)+Lh+o(\Vert h\Vert )$ for a linear map $L=df(x_0)$.

For the given example take $v=(v_1,v_2)$. If $v_1\ne 0$, then $f(tv)=t^2{v}_2^3/v_1$, so its directional difference quotient tends to zero. If $v_1=0$, the function vanishes along that line. Thus $\boxed{{\partial }_{v}f(0)=0\text{ for every }v\ne 0}$. However along $(x,y)=(t^3,t)$ with $t\ne 0$, one has $f(x,y)=1$, while $f(0,0)=0$. Hence the function is neither continuous nor differentiable at zero. Existence of all directional derivatives, even with a linear dependence on the direction, does not by itself imply total differentiability.

Every pair factors as $(A,b)=(I,b)(A,0)$, and a linear map which is also a translation fixes zero and has linear part $I$, hence is the identity. Thus $G=NH$ and $N\cap H=\{1\}$. The conjugation formula in (c) says that the action needed for reconstruction is simply the usual matrix action $A:t\mapsto At$ on the additive group $F^n$. Therefore

Differentiability at $x_0$ means that a linear map $L:{\mathbb{R}}^n\to {\mathbb{R}}^m$ exists such that $f(x_0+h)=f(x_0)+Lh+o(\Vert h\Vert )$. Since finite-dimensional linear maps are bounded, the right side tends to $f(x_0)$ as $h\to 0$, proving continuity.

For the specified scalar function, $0\le f(x,y)\le x^2\le x^2+y^2$. Dividing by $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ gives a bound tending to zero at the origin. Consequently $\boxed{df(0,0)=0}$ and the function is differentiable there.

For the final product assertion, write $f(x_0+h)=Lh+r(h)$, where $r(h)=o(\Vert h\Vert )$, and $g(x_0+h)=g(x_0)+s(h)$ with $s(h)=o(1)$. Since $f(x_0)=0$,Cauchy–Schwarz and boundedness of $g$ near $x_0$ justify the last estimate. Thus $\boxed{dF(x_0)h=⟨df(x_0)h,g(x_0)⟩}$; differentiability of $g$ is unnecessary because $f(x_0)=0$.

The $j$-th partial derivative is the vector limitwhen it exists. The total derivative is a linear map $Df(x):{\mathbb{R}}^n\to {\mathbb{R}}^m$ such thatThe Jacobian matrix is $J_f(x)=({\partial }_j{f}_i(x){)}_{i,j}$. When the total derivative exists, all partial derivatives exist and $J_f(x)$ is its matrix in the standard bases; its $j$-th column is $Df(x)e_j$. Existence of partial derivatives alone does not guarantee total differentiability.

The normal ordering of both linear maps puts every annihilation operator to the right, soIn particular the stated Hamiltonian has already subtracted the free vacuum energy. For a one-particle state, evaluate the commutators using $[AB,C]=A[B,C]+[A,C]B$:Acting on the Fock vacuum therefore givesThe extra factor $\sqrt{2E_{\mathbf{k}}}$ in the chosen relativistic normalization of a one-particle state is a scalar multiplier and does not change either eigenvalue. Applying the same argument to a multiparticle quantum state gives additive total energy and momentum.
