Hadamard's lemma in separable Hilbert spaces

TL;DR
This work extends Hadamard's Lemma from finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces to separable Hilbert spaces by proving that a smooth function $f$ on an open star-convex neighborhood $U\subset\mathcal{H}$ admits the linear representation $f(x)=f(a)+\langle g(x), x-a\rangle$ with a smooth $g$. Building on this, it derives a Taylor-type expansion with a smooth remainder, provides representations of smooth functions under vanishing higher-order derivatives, and develops an infinitesimal analysis framework in Hilbert spaces via dual-number calculus and the map $\Psi$. The results generalize to separable Banach spaces with a Schauder basis, highlighting the broader applicability to infinite-dimensional smooth analysis and nonlinear operator theory. Overall, the paper connects Hadamard's lemma to infinite-dimensional calculus, enabling systematic infinitesimal reasoning in functional-analytic settings.
Abstract
We extend Hadamard's Lemma to the setting of a separable Hilbert space.
