Fix and a coordinate direction . The fundamental theorem of calculus givesFor sufficiently small , the points lie in a fixed compact set. The continuity of makes it uniformly continuous there, so the right-hand side converges to uniformly in . We may consequently pass the limit through the finite integral:
To prove continuity, if , joint continuity makes uniformly for once the lie in a compact neighbourhood of . Hence . This proves the stated differentiation under the integral sign result and the continuity of every partial derivative.
For fixed , apply the given one-variable identity to the smooth functionThe chain rule givesThereforewhereEvery derivative of the integrand is continuous. Repeated differentiation under the integral sign therefore shows that is smooth. This is the Second-order Hadamard lemma.
