Inverse function theorem with as little differential calculus as possible

68 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to cut down the use of differential calculus in the demonstration of the inverse function theoreme as an excercice to make it a little clearer to me :

Let's consider an application $T : \mathbb R^n \longrightarrow \mathbb R^n$ such as $T:x \longmapsto x+\phi(x)$ where $\phi: \mathbb R^n \longrightarrow \mathbb R^n$ is $\frac{1}{2}$-Lipschitz continuous.

I'm trying to show that T is a bijective application and that it is also an homeomorphism. I tried using the Banach fixed point theorem but i can't seem to find the right function.

I think not really understanding the standard proof keeps me from getting this one.
