Darboux’s theorem, in analysis (a branch of mathematics), statement that for a function f(x) that is differentiable (has derivatives) on the closed interval [a, b], then for every x with f′(a) < x < f′(b), there exists some point c in the open interval (a, b) such that f′(c) = x. In other words, the derivative function, though it is not necessarily continuous, follows the intermediate value theorem by taking every value that lies between the values of the derivatives at the endpoints. The intermediate value theorem, which implies Darboux’s theorem when the derivative function is continuous, is a familiar result in calculus that states, in simplest terms, that if a continuous real-valued function f defined on the closed interval [−1, 1] satisfies f(−1) < 0 and f(1) > 0, then f(x) = 0 for at least one number x between −1 and 1; less formally, an unbroken curve passes through every value between its endpoints. Darboux’s theorem was first proved in the 19th century by the French mathematician Jean-Gaston Darboux.
Darboux's Theorem is a result in differential geometry that states that any two-dimensional surface embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space has a property known as the "hinge property." This property states that any two curves on the surface that intersect at a point will have a common tangent plane at that point.
To prove Darboux's Theorem, we need to use the concept of moving frames. A moving frame is a set of vectors that are defined along a curve and that span the tangent space at each point on the curve. In the case of a surface embedded in three-dimensional space, we can define a moving frame along each curve on the surface.
The key idea in the proof of Darboux's Theorem is to show that the moving frames along two intersecting curves on the surface are related by a rotation in the tangent plane. This rotation is known as a Darboux transformation. If we can show that the Darboux transformation is independent of the choice of curves, then we have proved the theorem.
To show that the Darboux transformation is independent of the choice of curves, we need to use the fact that the curvature and torsion of the curves are intrinsic properties of the surface. That is, they do not depend on the way the surface is embedded in three-dimensional space. Using this fact, we can show that the Darboux transformation depends only on the orientation of the tangent planes at the intersection point.
By considering different choices of curves that intersect at the same point, we can show that the Darboux transformation is the same for all such curves. Therefore, we have proved Darboux's Theorem, which states that any two-dimensional surface embedded in three-dimensional space has the hinge property.
