  2. Implicit function theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_function_theorem

    The unit circle can be specified as the level curve f(x, y) = 1 of the function f(x, y) = x 2 + y 2.Around point A, y can be expressed as a function y(x).In this example this function can be written explicitly as () =; in many cases no such explicit expression exists, but one can still refer to the implicit function y(x).

  3. Implicit function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_function

    An implicit function is a function that is defined by an implicit equation, that relates one of the variables, considered as the value of the function, with the others considered as the arguments. [ 1 ] : 204–206 For example, the equation x 2 + y 2 − 1 = 0 {\displaystyle x^{2}+y^{2}-1=0} of the unit circle defines y as an implicit function ...

    The ideas involved in proving this second theorem are largely separate from those used in proving the first. The fundamental aspect of the proof is an implicit function theorem for isometric embeddings. The usual formulations of the implicit function theorem are inapplicable, for technical reasons related to the loss of regularity phenomena.

  5. Calculus on Manifolds (book) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_on_Manifolds_(book)

    Calculus on Manifolds is a brief monograph on the theory of vector-valued functions of several real variables (f : R n →R m) and differentiable manifolds in Euclidean space. . In addition to extending the concepts of differentiation (including the inverse and implicit function theorems) and Riemann integration (including Fubini's theorem) to functions of several variables, the book treats ...

  6. Implicit curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_curve

    The implicit function theorem describes conditions under which an equation (,) = can be solved implicitly for x and/or y – that is, under which one can validly write = or = (). This theorem is the key for the computation of essential geometric features of the curve: tangents , normals , and curvature .

  7. Surface (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_(mathematics)

    Implicit means that the equation defines implicitly one of the variables as a function of the other variables. This is made more exact by the implicit function theorem : if f ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) = 0 , and the partial derivative in z of f is not zero at ( x 0 , y 0 , z 0 ) , then there exists a differentiable function φ ( x , y ) such that

  8. Gaussian curvature - Wikipedia

    They measure how the surface bends by different amounts in different directions from that point. We represent the surface by the implicit function theorem as the graph of a function, f, of two variables, in such a way that the point p is a critical point, that is, the gradient of f vanishes (this can always be attained by a suitable rigid motion).
