Rademacher's theorem
In mathematical analysis, Rademacher's theorem, named after Hans Rademacher, states the following: If U is an open subset of Rn and f : U → Rm is Lipschitz continuous, then f is differentiable almost everywhere in U; that is, the points in U at which f is not differentiable form a set of Lebesgue measure zero.
Generalizations
There is a version of Rademacher's theorem that holds for Lipschitz functions from a Euclidean space into an arbitrary metric space in terms of metric differentials instead of the usual derivative.
gollark: Do NOT embrace it. It cannot be trusted.
gollark: But how will my GEORGE monitors work NOW?!
gollark: Haven't we all?
gollark: osmarks.net™ is also to investigate rapid* data transfer via modulated sound, as heav has been working on.
gollark: Denied. We will transmit bee neuron data™ such that a spectrum display using a "fast fourier transform" or whatever will display our data written out in Toki Pona.
