Showing 1-1 and invertiblity of a function

43 Views Asked by At

Given an invertible function $f: \mathbb R ^n \rightarrow \mathbb R ^m$, how can we show that it is one to one and invertible?

Given an example such as $f(x,y) = (y + x,\sin y ,yx)$, what can we conclude? If this was a function that took $(x,y) \rightarrow \mathbb R$, it would be enough that the derivative be no zero on its domain, but what is the equivalent statement here? There's also the problem of invertiblity. Since this particular function is not class $C^{\infty}$, we can't call on the inverse function theorem.
