What is called a smooth, bijective transformation with a smooth inverse?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • D. Diffeomorphism

Explanation

A diffeomorphism is smooth, bijective, and has a smooth inverse. A homeomorphism only requires the inverse to be continuous.

Review the concept: Smooth diffeomorphic deformation

A smooth diffeomorphic deformation \(\varphi\) is a bijective, smooth transformation whose inverse is also smooth.

\[\varphi^{-1}\text{ is smooth}\]
