For $n \ge 2$ give example of a bijective continuous map $f: \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R^n$ whose inverse is not continuous ; example of such a function is also an example of Does there exist a bijection of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with itself such that the forward map is connected but the inverse is not?

1There is no such function due to "invariance of domain". http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invariance_of_domain – PhoemueX Oct 06 '14 at 04:53

@PhoemueX: what is "invariance of domain" ?? – Souvik Dey Oct 06 '14 at 04:54

2I edited my comment and provided a link. It is a theorem telling you that an injective continuous map $f : U \to \Bbb{R}^n$ with $U \subset \Bbb{R}^n$ open is always an open map, so that the inverse is also continuous. – PhoemueX Oct 06 '14 at 04:56
