Rademacher's Theorem

Analysis

Rademacher's theorem, named after Hans Rademacher, states that if U is an open subset of real n-dimensional space and f, mapping U into real m-dimensional space, is Lipschitz continuous, then f is differentiable almost everywhere in U, meaning the set of points where f fails to be differentiable has Lebesgue measure zero. Differentiability here means approximability by a linear map to first order, which in particular implies that all of f's coordinate-wise partial derivatives exist at almost every point.

Has Statement Form

Entity-backed identity for the statement-form enum value this theorem already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The statement-form fact itself stays on the theorem unchanged.
