It is clear that the implicit function theorem plays an important role in analysis. From now on, I am going to demonstrate this significant matter from the theory of differential equations, both ODE and PDE, point of view.
Let us start with the following ODE
on some domain
with
and
. We assume the existence result on
is proved for some
. We prove the following
Theorem. The solutiondepends continuously on
.
Proof. Consider the map
taking
This map is evidently continuous (since
is an algebra). One readily shows that its Fréchet derivative at
with respect to
in the direction
is
The continuity of the map
follows from the fact that
is an algebra continuously embedded in
.
Since
and
, the potential
is not identically zero. Thus it is well-known that the map
is an isomorphism.
The implicit function theorem then implies that if
is a solution for data
, there is a continuous map defined near
taking
to the corresponding solution of the ODE. This establishes the conclusion.
