Inverse function theorem - the easy half #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
In this file we prove that g' (f x) = (f' x)⁻¹ provided that f is strictly differentiable at
x, f' x ≠ 0, and g is a local left inverse of f that is continuous at f x. This is the
easy half of the inverse function theorem: the harder half states that g exists.
For a more detailed overview of one-dimensional derivatives in mathlib, see the module docstring of
analysis/calculus/deriv/basic.

If f (g y) = y for y in some neighborhood of a, g is continuous at a, and f has an
invertible derivative f' at g a in the strict sense, then g has the derivative f'⁻¹ at a
in the strict sense.
This is one of the easy parts of the inverse function theorem: it assumes that we already have an inverse function.
If f is a local homeomorphism defined on a neighbourhood of f.symm a, and f has a
nonzero derivative f' at f.symm a in the strict sense, then f.symm has the derivative f'⁻¹
at a in the strict sense.
