is this set a regular surface?
I'm reading "Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces of Manfredo Docarmo" I'm doing the exercises of the chapter 2. Here is the definition of regular surface that we are following:
I have problems with this exercise:
Is with the first part, I think that it's not true that it's a regular surface (the second it is). I don't know how to prove that something is not a regular surface.
Solution 1:
It is because in any neighborhood of a boundary point none of the orthogonal projections to the coordinate plane give a parametrization. This is a proposition in that section,and is often used to show that something is not a manifold.
