Let f : X = { ( ρ , ϕ , θ ) ∈ R 3 ; ρ > 0 } ⟶ R 3 defined as f ( ρ , ϕ , θ ) = ( ρ cos ϕ sin θ , ρ sin ϕ sin θ , ρ cos θ ) Find where f is a local diffeomorphism
Assumption.-
f is a local diffeomorphism at a point x ∈ X ⊆ R 3 if there exists a neighborhood U of x such that f ∣ U has an inverse function f ∣ f ( U ) − 1 ∈ C 1 ( f ( U ) )

Applying Inverse function theorem and its reciprocal, f will be a local diffeomorphism at the point a if the determinant of Jacobian matrix of f at a is different to 0 , i. e, if det (Jf(a)) = 0 det (Jf( ρ , ϕ , θ ) ) = ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ cos ϕ sin θ sin ϕ sin θ cos θ − ρ sin ϕ sin θ ρ cos ϕ sin θ 0 ρ cos ϕ cos θ ρ sin ϕ cos θ − ρ sin θ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ ∣ = − ρ 2 sin θ . Therefore, f is a local diffeomorphism at { ( ρ , ϕ , θ ) ∈ X ; θ = k π ( k ∈ Z ) }
Other example .-
Let y = x 3 , ∀ x ∈ R . This function is a homeomorphism,i.e, it is a continuous function with an inverse continuous function x = 3 y , and hence a local homeomorphism ( y has a local inverse continuous function ∀ x ∈ R ). Furthemore, y is an infinite differentiable function, but it is only a local diffeomorphism where y ′ = 0 because its inverse function x = 3 y has a finite derivative function in R − { 0 } ,i.e, x = 3 y has a infinite slope at y = 0 .
