The Jacobian of the inverse of a transformation is the inverse of the Jacobian of that transformation
.
In this post, we would like to illustrate the meaning of
the Jacobian of the inverse of a transformation = the inverse of the Jacobian of that transformation
by proving a special case.
.
Consider a transformation
, which is an one-to-one mapping from unbarred
‘s to barred
coordinates, where
.
By definition, the Jacobian matrix J of
is

.
Now we consider the the inverse of the transformation
:

By definition, the Jacobian matrix
of this inverse transformation,
, is

.
On the other hand, the inverse of Jacobian
of the original transformation
is

.
If
, their (1, 1)-elementd should be equation:

Let’s try to prove that.
.
Consider equations


Differentiate both sides of each equation with respect to
, we have:


.
