# Gâteaux derivative

In mathematics, the Gâteaux differential or Gâteaux derivative is a generalization of the concept of directional derivative in differential calculus. Named after René Gâteaux, a French mathematician who died young in World War I, it is defined for functions between locally convex topological vector spaces such as Banach spaces. Like the Fréchet derivative on a Banach space, the Gâteaux differential is often used to formalize the functional derivative commonly used in the calculus of variations and physics.

Unlike other forms of derivatives, the Gâteaux differential of a function may be nonlinear. However, often the definition of the Gâteaux differential also requires that it be a continuous linear transformation. Some authors, such as Tikhomirov (2001), draw a further distinction between the Gâteaux differential (which may be nonlinear) and the Gâteaux derivative (which they take to be linear). In most applications, continuous linearity follows from some more primitive condition which is natural to the particular setting, such as imposing complex differentiability in the context of infinite dimensional holomorphy or continuous differentiability in nonlinear analysis.

## Definition

Suppose X and Y are locally convex topological vector spaces (for example, Banach spaces), U ⊂ X is open, and F : X → Y. The Gâteaux differential dF(u;ψ) of F at u ∈ U in the direction ψ ∈ X is defined as

$dF(u;\psi)=\lim_{\tau\rightarrow 0}\frac{F(u+\tau \psi)-F(u)}{\tau}=\left.\frac{d}{d\tau}F(u+\tau \psi)\right|_{\tau=0}$

(1)

if the limit exists. If the limit exists for all ψ ∈ X, then one says that F is Gâteaux differentiable at u.

The limit appearing in (1) is taken relative to the topology of Y. If X and Y are real topological vector spaces, then the limit is taken for real τ. On the other hand, if X and Y are complex topological vector spaces, then the limit above is usually taken as τ→0 in the complex plane as in the definition of complex differentiability. In some cases, a weak limit is taken instead of a strong limit, which leads to the notion of a weak Gâteaux derivative.

## Linearity and continuity

At each point u ∈ U, the Gâteaux differential defines a function

$dF(u;\cdot):X\rightarrow Y.$

This function is homogeneous in the sense that for all scalars α

$dF(u;\alpha\psi)=\alpha dF(u;\psi).\,$

However, this function need not be additive, so that the Gâteaux differential may fail to be linear, unlike the Fréchet derivative. Even if linear, it may fail to depend continuously on ψ if X and Y are infinite dimensional. Furthermore, for Gâteaux differentials that are linear and continuous in ψ, there are several inequivalent ways to formulate their continuous differentiability.

For example, consider the real-valued function F of two real variables defined by

$F(x, y)= \begin{cases} \frac{x^3}{x^2+y^2} & \mbox{ if } (x, y)\ne (0, 0)\\ 0 & \mbox{ if } (x, y)=(0, 0). \end{cases}$

This is Gâteaux differentiable at (0, 0), with its differential there being

$dF(0,0; a, b)=\begin{cases} \frac{a^3}{a^2+b^2} & (a,b)\not=(0,0)\\ 0 & (a,b)=(0,0). \end{cases}$

However this is continuous but not linear in the arguments (a,b). In infinite dimensions, any discontinuous linear functional on X is Gâteaux differentiable, but its Gâteaux differential at 0 is linear but not continuous.

Relation with the Fréchet derivative

If F is Fréchet differentiable, then it is also Gâteaux differentiable, and its Fréchet and Gâteaux derivatives agree. The converse is clearly not true, since the Gâteaux derivative may fail to be linear or continuous. In fact, it is even possible for the Gâteaux derivative to be linear and continuous but for the Fréchet derivative to fail to exist.

Nevertheless, for functions F from a complex Banach space X to another complex Banach space Y, the Gâteaux derivative (where the limit is taken over complex τ tending to zero as in the definition of complex differentiability) is automatically linear, a theorem of Zorn (1945). Furthermore, if F is (complex) Gâteaux differentiable at each uU with derivative

$DF(u) : \psi\mapsto dF(u;\psi)$

then F is Fréchet differentiable on U with Fréchet derivative DF (Zorn 1946). This is analogous to the result from basic complex analysis that a function is analytic if it is complex differentiable in an open set, and is a fundamental result in the study of infinite dimensional holomorphy.

Continuous differentiability

Continuous Gâteaux differentiability may be defined in two inequivalent ways. Suppose that F:UY is Gâteaux differentiable at each point of the open set U. One notion of continuous differentiability in U requires that the mapping on the product space

$dF:U\times X \rightarrow Y \,$

be continuous. Linearity need not be assumed: if X and Y are Fréchet spaces, then dF(u;•) is automatically bounded and linear for all u (Hamilton 1982).

A stronger notion of continuous differentiability requires that

$u\mapsto DF(u) \,$

be a continuous mapping

$U\to L(X,Y) \,$

from U to the space of continuous linear functions from X to Y. Note that this already presupposes the linearity of DF(u).

As a matter of technical convenience, this latter notion of continuous differentiability is typical (but not universal) when the spaces X and Y are Banach, since L(X,Y) is also Banach and standard results from functional analysis can then be employed. The former is the more common definition in areas of nonlinear analysis where the function spaces involved are not necessarily Banach spaces. For instance, differentiation in Fréchet spaces has applications such as the Nash–Moser inverse function theorem in which the function spaces of interest often consist of smooth functions on a manifold.

## Higher derivatives

Whereas higher order Fréchet derivatives are naturally defined as multilinear functions by iteration, using the isomorphisms Ln(X,Y) = L(X, Ln−1(X,Y)), higher order Gâteaux derivative cannot be defined in this way. Instead the nth order Gâteaux derivative of a function F : UX → Y in the direction h is defined by

$d^nF(u;h) = \left.\frac{d^n}{d\tau^n}F(u+\tau h)\right|_{\tau=0}.$

(2)

Rather than a multilinear function, this is instead a homogeneous function of degree n in h.

There is another candidate for the definition of the higher order derivative, the function

$D^2F(u)\{h,k\} = \lim_{\tau\to 0} \frac{DF(u+\tau k)h - DF(u)h}{\tau} = \left.\frac{\partial^2}{\partial\tau\partial\sigma}F(u+\sigma h + \tau k)\right|_{\tau=\sigma=0}$

(3)

that arises naturally in the calculus of variations as the second variation of F, at least in the special case where F is scalar-valued. However, this may fail to have any reasonable properties at all, aside from being separately homogeneous in h and k. It is desirable to have sufficient conditions in place to ensure that D2F(u){h,k} is a symmetric bilinear function of h and k, and that it agrees with the polarization of dnF.

For instance, the following sufficient condition holds (Hamilton 1982). Suppose that F is C1 in the sense that the mapping

$DF : U\times X\to Y$

is continuous in the product topology, and moreover that the second derivative defined by (3) is also continuous in the sense that

$D^2F : U\times X\times X\to Y$

is continuous. Then D2F(u){h,k} is bilinear and symmetric in h and k. By virtue of the bilinearity, the polarization identity holds

$D^2F(u)\{h,k\} = \frac{1}{2}d^2F(u;h+k)-d^2F(u;h)-d^2F(u;k)$

relating the second order derivative D2F(u) with the differential d2F(u;−). Similar conclusions hold for higher order derivatives.

## Properties

A version of the fundamental theorem of calculus holds for the Gâteaux derivative of F, provided F is assumed to be sufficiently continuously differentiable. Specifically:

• Suppose that F : XY is C1 in the sense that the Gâteaux derivative is a continuous function dF : U×XY. Then for any uU and hX,
$F(u+h) - F(u) = \int_0^1 dF(u+th;h)\,dt$
where the integral is the Gelfand-Pettis integral (the weak integral).

Many of the other familiar properties of the derivative follow from this, such as multilinearity and commutativity of the higher-order derivatives. Further properties, also consequences of the fundamental theorem, include:

$d(G\circ F)(u;x) = dG(F(u); dF(u;x))$
for all uU and xX.
• (Taylor's theorem with remainder.)
Suppose that the line segment between uU and u+h lies entirely within U. If F is Ck then
$F(u+h)=F(u)+dF(u;h)+\frac{1}{2!}d^2F(u;h)+\dots+\frac{1}{(k-1)!}d^{k-1}F(u;h)+R_k$
where the remainder term is given by
$R_k(u;h)=\frac{1}{(k-1)!}\int_0^1(1-t)^{k-1}d^kF(u+th;h)\,dt$

## Example

Let $X$ be the Hilbert space of square-integrable functions on a Lebesgue measurable set $\Omega$ in the Euclidean space RN. The functional

$E:X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$

given by

$E(u)=\int_\Omega F\left(u(x) \right)dx$

where F is a real-valued function of a real variable with F′ = ƒ and u is defined on Ω with real values, has Gâteaux derivative

$dE(u,\psi)=\langle f(u),\psi \rangle\,.$

Indeed,

$\frac{E(u+\tau\psi) - E(u)}{\tau} = \frac{1}{\tau} \left( \int_\Omega F(u+\tau\psi)dx - \int_\Omega F(u)dx \right)$
$\quad\quad =\frac{1}{\tau} \left( \int_\Omega\int_0^1 \frac{d}{ds} F(u+s\tau\psi) \,ds\,dx \right)$
$\quad \quad =\int_\Omega\int_0^1 f(u+s\tau\psi)\psi \,ds\,dx.$

Letting τ → 0 gives the Gâteaux derivative

$dE(u,\psi) = \int_\Omega f(u(x))\psi(x) \,dx,$

that is, the inner product 〈ƒ,ψ〉.
