Rolle's Theorem (topological part) #

In this file we prove the purely topological part of Rolle's Theorem: a function that is continuous on an interval $[a, b]$, $a < b$, has a local extremum at a point $x ∈ (a, b)$ provided that $f(a)=f(b)$. We also prove several variations of this statement.

In Mathlib/Analysis/Calculus/LocalExtr/Rolle we use these lemmas to prove several versions of Rolle's Theorem from calculus.

A continuous function on a closed interval with f a = f b takes either its maximum or its minimum value at a point in the interior of the interval.

A continuous function on a closed interval with f a = f b has a local extremum at some point of the corresponding open interval.

If a function f is continuous on an open interval and tends to the same value at its endpoints, then it has an extremum on this open interval.
