Differentiability of Implicit Function

67 Views Asked by At

If we have known $f(x,y)=0$ defines an implicit function $y=g(x)$.

Can we derive $g$ is differentiable from $f$ is differentiable with respect to $x$?

No, $f(x,y)=y/(2+sign(y))-x$ defines the implicit function $y(x) = x(2+sign(x))$, which is not differentiable at $x=0$ even though $f(x,y)$ is $C^1$ in $x$.
