LESSON 6

DIFFERENTIABILITY

1. Introduction

Let f : ℜ→ℜ,be a function. If the first h derivatives f ( x 0 ),..., f ( x 0 )

h

exist then we have

got some information about the function’s behaviour in the neighbourhood of x.

How to extend this consideration to

n m

f ; ℜ →ℜ?

We already know that the gradient 

0 x x

f x x

f f x n

corresponds to the first

derivative in multiple variables functions, so it is quite natural that the gradient must

provide the same information as f ′(^ x ),about the local behaviour of the function.

If f , function defined in ℜ , is derivable at x 0 ⇒ f is continuous at x 0. However, in

2 ℜ

the function

0 ( , ) (0, 0)

xy x y f x y x y

x y

is derivable in all directions, but it is not

continuous at ( 0 , 0 ).

So, we need to extend the derivability when working in more than one dimension.

Definition of differential

By definition f :ℜ→ℜ is derivable at a if there exists ( )

lim 0

f a h

f a h f a

h

Or, in the same way 0

hh

f a h f a f a h

We call l ( h )= f ′( a )⋅ h

Remark

1. If f ′(^ a )is a constant ⇒ l ( h )is a linear function, where l ( 0 )= 0.

2. f ( a + h )− f ( a )≈ l ( h )

3. l can be interpreted as a function which approximates linearly the increase of f

in a neighbourhood of a.

Definition

f :ℜ→ ℜ is said to be differentiable at a if there exists a linear map l :ℜ→ℜsuch that

f ( a + h )− f ( a )= l ( h )+ α( a + h )⋅ h

And α( a + h ) h → 0 → 0

α is a function of the error made when approximating the increase of f through a

linear function.

To extend the same observation to :

n

f ℜ → ℜ is easy.

Let v be any direction of a vector. We will say that the differential of f at the point a

in the direction of v exists if also exists a linear map ℜ →ℜ

n

l : such that

f ( a +λ v )− f ( a )= f (λ v )+α( a +λ v ) λ v

where α ( a + λ v ) → λ → 0 0

Definition

n

f : is differentiable at point a if exists a linear map l such that f is

differentiable in any direction v.

Properties

We know that if f is differentiable, then f ( a ) v ,

exist and f a lv f a v

Work out the differential of f at the point ( 1 , 2 )in the following directions

Properties of differential

1. If f is differentiable at a ⇒ df ( a )is unique

2. If f is differentiable at a ⇒ f is continuous at a

4. If f : ℜ→ℜ f is differentiable ⇔ f is derivable

Definition

Let :

f ℜ →ℜ be a continuous function at a

f belongs to

1

C class if

f i n

∀ = 1 , 2 ,..., ∃ and they are continuous.

f belongs to

f belongs to

2. Sufficient condition of differentiability

If f belongs to

1

C class then f is differentiable at a.

How to study the behaviour of a function at a point in the direction of a vector.

If f v ′( )^ a > 0 and f v ′′( )^ a > 0 the function increases acceleratedly at that point

If f v ′( )^ a < 0 and f v ′′( )^ a > 0 the function decreases deceleratedly at that point

If f v ′( )^ a < 0 and f v ′′( )^ a < 0 the function decreases acceleratedly at that point

If f v ′( )^ a > 0 and f v ′′( )^ a < 0 the function increases deceleratedly at that point

OPTIMIZATION

3. Non-constrained Optimization

Definition

f ( x ) reaches a local maximum at a if ∀ x in the neighbourhood of a it is verified

[ ( ) ( )]

f a f x

f a f x

If inequialities are strict, maxima or minima are strict as well.

Remark

If f ( x )reaches a maximum at a ⇒ f ( a )≥ f ( a + λ v )for λ = λ 0

If f ( x )reaches a minimum at a ⇒ f ( a )≤ f ( a + λ v )for λ = λ 0
