Topic: Representing n-times differentiable fn in theorem statement

Hello!
I'm a beginner in lean and trying to formalize this theorem statement, using mathlib4. I'm confused about how to go about defining a function that is n-times differentiable. Could anyone help me out?
I apologize if this should be asked on another channel, please redirect me to the same!

I think you are looking for docs#ContDiff

It also assumes that n-th derivative is also continuous.
Ruben Van de Velde (Jan 21 2025 at 16:00):
So maybe ContDiff (n-1)?
Sébastien Gouëzel (Jan 21 2025 at 16:01):
I'd say first try to prove your lemma assuming ContDiff n
, and only then consider generalizing if you really need the stronger result where the function is just C^{n-1}
with differentiable (n-1)
-th derivative.

That was very helpful, thank you to all!
I'll definitely try again myself :+1:
