Rules for derivatives of a composition

42 Views Asked by At

Assume $\varphi: [0,1] \rightarrow [0, \infty)$ is continuous, strictly decreasing function.

In the book ([1], p. 91) it is claimed that

\begin{align} & \int_0^1 \int_0^1 \varphi(\varphi^{-1}(u)+\varphi^{-1}(v)) ~d(\varphi(\varphi^{-1}(u)+\varphi^{-1}(v))) \\[10pt] = {} & \int_{0}^{1}\int_{0}^{1} \varphi(\varphi^{-1}(u)+\varphi^{-1}(v)) \cdot \varphi''(\varphi^{-1}(u)+\varphi^{-1}(v)) \cdot [ \varphi' \circ \varphi^{-1}(u)]^{-1} \cdot [ \varphi' \circ \varphi^{-1}(v)]^{-1} \, du \, dv \end{align}

How do we get this result? What are the intermediate steps that were skipped here, if any? If not, what is the general rule for derivation that was used here?

My attempt is giving me a different answer. Using chain rule gives $$d(\varphi(\varphi^{-1}(u)+\varphi^{-1}(v)))=\varphi'(\varphi^{-1}(u)+\varphi^{-1}(v))~d(\varphi^{-1}(u)+\varphi^{-1}(v))=\varphi'(\varphi^{-1}(u)+\varphi^{-1}(v)) ~[\varphi' \circ \varphi^{-1}(u))^{-1} + (\varphi' \circ \varphi^{-1}(v))^{-1}] \, du \, dv$$

Perhaps someone can correct me.
