  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 ...

  4. Nash embedding theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_embedding_theorems

    The Nash embedding theorem is a global theorem in the sense that the whole manifold is embedded into R n. A local embedding theorem is much simpler and can be proved using the implicit function theorem of advanced calculus in a coordinate neighborhood of the manifold. The proof of the global embedding theorem relies on Nash's implicit function ...

    But if the dimension of M is less than the dimension of N, all points are critical according to the definition above (the differential cannot be surjective) but the rank of the Jacobian may still be maximal (if it is equal to dim M). The definition given above is the more commonly used; e.g., in the formulation of Sard's theorem.

  6. Differential geometry of surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_geometry_of...

    A major theorem, often called the fundamental theorem of the differential geometry of surfaces, asserts that whenever two objects satisfy the Gauss-Codazzi constraints, they will arise as the first and second fundamental forms of a regular surface. Using the first fundamental form, it is possible to define new objects on a regular surface.

  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

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_curvature

    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).

  9. Implicit surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_surface

    Implicit surface of genus 2. Implicit non-algebraic surface (wineglass). In mathematics, an implicit surface is a surface in Euclidean space defined by an equation (,,) = An implicit surface is the set of zeros of a function of three variables. Implicit means that the equation is not solved for x or y or z.
