Implicit operator

From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
Jump to: navigation, search

A solution of a non-linear operator equation F(x,y)=0, in which x plays the role of parameter and y that of the unknown. Let X, Y and Z be Banach spaces and let F(x,y) be a non-linear operator that is continuous in a neighbourhood \Omega of (x_0,y_0)\in X\dotplus Y and that maps \Omega into a neighbourhood of zero in Z. If the Fréchet derivative F_y(x,y) is continuous on \Omega, if the operator [F_y(x_0,y_0)]^{-1} exists and is continuous and if F(x_0,y_0)=0, then there are numbers \epsilon>0 and \delta>0 such that for ||x-x_0||<\delta the equation F(x,y)=0 has a unique solution y=f(x) in the ball ||y-y_0||<\epsilon. Here if, additionally, F(x,y) is n times differentiable in \Omega, then f(x) is n times differentiable. If F(x,y) is an analytic operator in \Omega, then f(x) is also analytic. These assertions generalize well-known propositions about implicit functions. For degenerate cases, see Branching of solutions of non-linear equations.
