Fréchet derivative is unique
TheoremThe Fréchet derivative is unique.
Proof.Assume that both and in satisfy the condition for the Fréchet derivative (http://planetmath.org/derivative2) at the point . To prove that they are equal we will show that for all the operator norm is not greater than . By the definition of limit there exists a positive
such that for all
holds. This gives
Now we have
thus as we wanted to show.
