Questions tagged [implicit-function-theorem]
The implicit function theorem gives sufficient conditions to solve a given equation for one or more of the variables as functions of the remaining variables. The basic form of the theorem is that of an existence theorem. However, the contraction mapping proof of the theorem provides an error estimate for a sequence of approximating maps. Sometimes it is also termed the implicit mapping theorem. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_function_theorem
