+\begin{definition}[Right-Differentiable]
+\label{definition:right-differentiable-mvt}
+    Let $-\infty < a < b < \infty$, $E$ be a separated topological vector space, $f: [a, b] \to E$, and $x \in [a, b)$, then $f$ is \textbf{right-differentiable at $x$} if
+    \[
+    D^+f(x) = \lim_{t \downto 0} \frac{f(x + t) - f(x)}{t}
+    \]
+    exists.
+\end{definition}
+
+\begin{lemma}[{{\cite[Lemma 4.6.2]{Bogachev}}}]
+\label{lemma:right-differentiable-inequality}
+    Let $-\infty < a < b < \infty$, $f, g \in C([a,b]; \real)$, and $N \subset [a, b]$ be at most countable such that:
+    \begin{enumerate}
+        \item[(a)] $f, g$ are right-differentiable on $[a, b] \setminus N$.
+        \item[(b)] For every $x \in [a, b] \setminus N$, $D^+f(x) \le D^+g(x)$.
+    \end{enumerate}
+    then for any $x \in [a, b]$, $f(x) - f(a) \le g(x) - g(a)$.
+\end{lemma}
+\begin{proof}
+    First assume that for every $x \in [a, b] \setminus N$, $D^+f(x) < D^+g(x)$.
+
+    Let $\seq{x_n}$ be an enumeration of $N$. For each $x \in [a, b]$, let $N(x) = \bracs{n \in \natp|x_n \in [a, x)}$. Let $\eps > 0$ and define
+    \[
+    S = \bracs{x \in [a, b] \bigg | f(y) - f(a) \le g(y) - g(a) + \eps\sum_{n \in N(x)}2^{-n} \quad \forall y \in [a, x]}
+    \]
+    then by continuity of $f$ and $g$, $S$ is closed.
+
+    Let $x \in S$ and suppose that $s < b$. If $x \in [a, b] \setminus N$, then since
+    \[
+    \lim_{t \downto 0}\frac{f(x + t) - f(x)}{t} < \lim_{t \downto 0}\frac{g(x + t) - f(x)}{t}
+    \]
+    there exists $\delta > 0$ such that $f(x + t) - f(x) < g(x + t) < g(x)$ for all $t \in [0, \delta)$. In which case, $[x, x + \delta) \subset S$.
+
+    If $x = x_n \in N$, then by continuity of $f$ and $g$, there exists $\delta > 0$ such that $f(x + t) - f(x) \le g(x + t) - g(x) + 2^{-n}$ for all $t \in (0, \delta)$. Hence $[x, x + \delta) \subset S$ as well.
+
+    Therefore $S = [a, b]$. As this holds for all $\eps > 0$, $f(b) - f(a) \le g(b) - g(a)$.
+
+    Finally, suppose that $D^+f(x) \le D^+g(x)$ for all $x \in [a, b] \setminus N$. Let $\eps > 0$ and $h(x) = g(x) + \eps(x - a)$. By the preceding case, $f(b) - f(a) \le g(b) - g(a) + \eps(b - a)$. As this holds for all $\eps > 0$, $f(x) - f(a) \le g(x) - g(a)$.
+\end{proof}
+
+\begin{theorem}[{{\cite[Theorem 4.6.1]{Bogachev}}}]
+\label{theorem:right-differentiable-convex-form}
+    Let $-\infty < a < b < \infty$, $E$ be a separated locally convex space, $f \in C([a, b]; E)$, $g \in C([a, b]; \real)$, $N \subset [a, b]$ be at most countable, and $B \subset E$ be a closed convex set such that:
+    \begin{enumerate}
+        \item $f, g$ are right-differentiable on $[a, b] \setminus N$.
+        \item For each $x \in [a, b] \setminus N$, $D^+f(x) \in D^+g(x)B$.
+        \item $g$ is non-decreasing.
+    \end{enumerate}
+    then
+    \[
+    f(b) - f(a) \in [g(b) - g(a)]B
+    \]
+\end{theorem}
+\begin{proof}
+    Let $\phi \in E^*$ and $x \in [a, b] \setminus N$, then since $g$ is non-decreasing,
+    \begin{align*}
+        \lim_{t \downto 0} \frac{\phi(f(x + t) - f(x))}{t} &\le \lim_{t \downto 0}\sup_{z \in B} \frac{\phi(g(x + t) - g(x)z)}{t} \\
+        D^+(\phi \circ f)(x) &\le \sup_{z \in B}\phi(z) \cdot \lim_{t \downto 0}\frac{\phi(g(x + t) - g(x))}{t} \\
+        D^+(\phi \circ f)(x) &\le  D^+g(x) \cdot \sup_{z \in B}\phi(z)
+    \end{align*}
+    By \ref{lemma:right-differentiable-inequality},
+    \[
+    \phi(f(b) - f(a)) \le (g(b) - g(a)) \cdot \sup_{z \in B}\phi(z)
+    \]
+
+    Suppose that $f(b) - f(a) \not\in [g(b) - g(a)]B$. Given that $B$ is closed and convex, by the Hahn-Banach theorem (\ref{theorem:hahn-banach-geometric-2}), there exists $\phi \in E^*$ such that
+    \[
+    \phi(f(b) - f(a)) > \sup_{x \in B}\phi[(g(b) - g(a))b] = \phi(g(b) - g(a)) \cdot \sup_{x \in B}\phi(x)
+    \]
+    which is impossible. Therefore $f(b) - f(a) \in [g(b) - g(a)]B$.
+\end{proof}

+\begin{theorem}[Mean Value Theorem]
+\label{theorem:mean-value-theorem}
+    Let $-\infty < a < b < \infty$, $E$ be a separated locally convex space, $S \subset [a, b]$ be at most countable, and $f \in C([a, b]; E)$ be differentiable on $(a, b) \setminus N$, then
+    \[
+    f(b) - f(a) \in \overline{\text{Conv}\bracs{Df(x)(b - a)| x \in (a, b) \setminus N}}
+    \]
+\end{theorem}
+\begin{proof}
+    By \ref{proposition:derivative-sets-real}, $f$ is right-differentiable on $(a, b) \setminus N$ with
+    \[
+    D^+f(x) = Df(x) \in \bracs{Df(x)|x \in (a, b) \setminus N}
+    \]
+    for all $x \in (a, b)$. Let $g(x) = x$, then by \ref{theorem:right-differentiable-convex-form},
+    \[
+    f(b) - f(a) \in \overline{(b - a)\text{Conv}\bracs{Df(x)|x \in (a, b) \setminus N}}

+\begin{proposition}
+\label{proposition:zero-derivative-constant}
+    Let $E$ be a topological vector space, $F$ be a separated locally convex space, $V \subset E$ be open and connected, $f: V \to F$ be Gateaux-differentiable on $V$ such that $Df(x) = 0$ for all $x \in V$, then $f$ is constant.
+\end{proposition}
+\begin{proof}
+    Let $x, y \in V$ such that $\bracs{(1 - t)x + ty|t \in [0, 1]} \subset V$. Since $f$ is Gateaux-differentiable, $g: [0, 1] \to F$ defined by $g(t) = f((1 - t)x + ty)$ is differentiable with $Dg(t) = 0$ for all $t \in [0, 1]$. By the Mean Value Theorem (\ref{theorem:mean-value-theorem}), $f(y) - f(x) = 0$.
+
+    Fix $x \in V$ and let $W$ be the connected component of $\bracs{y \in V|f(x) = f(y)}$ containing $x$. Since $E$ is locally path-connected (\ref{proposition:tvs-locally-connected}), $W$ is open.
+
+    Let $y \in \overline{W}$. By \ref{proposition:tvs-good-neighbourhood-base}, there exists $U \in \cn_E(0)$ radial such that $U + y \subset V$. Since any point in $U$ is joined to $y$ via a line segment, $f$ is constant on $U + y$. As $y \in \overline{W}$, $U + y \cap W \ne \emptyset$, so $y \in W$.
+
+    Since $W$ is both open and closed, $W$ must coincide with $V$.

+\begin{definition}[Locally Path-Connected]
+\label{definition:locally-path-connected}
+    Let $X$ be a topological space, then $X$ is \textbf{locally path-connected} if for every $x \in X$, there exists a fundamental system of neighbourhoods consisting of path-connected sets at $x$.
+\end{definition}
+
+\begin{proposition}
+\label{proposition:locally-path-connected-properties}
+    Let $X$ be a locally path-connected space, then
+    \begin{enumerate}
+        \item The path components of $X$ are open.
+        \item The path components of $X$ are equal to its components.
+        \item $X$ is connected if and only if it is path-connected.
+        \item Every open subset of $X$ is locally path-connected.
+    \end{enumerate}
+\end{proposition}
+\begin{proof}
+    (1): Let $A \subset X$ be a path component and $x \in A$, then there exists $U \in \cn(x)$ connected. By \ref{proposition:path-connected-union}, $A \cup U \in \cn(x)$ is also connected. Since $A$ is a path-component, $A \cup U \subset A \in \cn(x)$. Thus $A$ is open by \ref{lemma:openneighbourhood}.
+
+    (2): Let $P$ be a path component in $X$ and $C \supset P$ be its connected components. If $C$ is not path-connected, then $P \subsetneq C$ there exists path-components $\seqi{P} \subset 2^C$ such that $C = \bigsqcup_{i \in I}P_i$. In which case, $C \setminus P$ is open by (1), and $C$ is not connected, which is impossible.
+
+    (3): By (2) applied to $X$.

+\begin{definition}[Path]
+\label{definition:path}
+    Let $X$ be a topological space, $x, y \in X$, then a \textbf{path} from $x$ to $y$ is a mapping $f \in C([0, 1]; X)$ such that $f(0) = x$ and $f(1) = y$.
+\end{definition}

+\begin{definition}[Path-Connected]
+\label{definition:path-connected}
+    Let $X$ be a topological space, then $X$ is \textbf{path-connected} if for every $x, y \in X$, there exists a path from $x$ to $y$.
+\end{definition}
+
+\begin{proposition}
+\label{proposition:path-connected-connected}
+    Let $X$ be a path-connected space, then $X$ is connected.
+\end{proposition}
+\begin{proof}
+    Let $U, V \subset [0, 1]$ be open with $[0, 1] = U \cup V$. If $\sup U = \sup V$, then $\sup U = \sup V = 1$ and $U, V \in \cn^o(1)$, so $U \cap V \ne \emptyset$. If $\sup U < \sup V \le 1$, then $x \not\in U$ and $x \in V$. In which case, $V \in \cn^o(x)$ and $V \cap U \ne \emptyset$. Therefore $[0, 1]$ is connected.
+
+    Fix $x \in X$. For any $y \in X$, let $f_y \in C([0, 1]; X)$ be a path from $x$ to $y$, then $f_y([0, 1])$ is connected with $x, y \in f_y([0, 1])$ by \ref{proposition:connected-image}. By \ref{proposition:connected-union},
+    \[
+    X = \bigcup_{y \in X}f_y([0, 1])
+    \]
+    is connected.
+\end{proof}
+
+\begin{proposition}
+\label{proposition:path-connected-union}
+    Let $X$ be a topological space, $\seqi{A}$ be path-connected sets with $\bigcap_{i \in I}A_i \ne \emptyset$, then $\bigcup_{i \in I}A_i$ is connected.
+\end{proposition}
+\begin{proof}
+    Let $x \in \bigcap_{i \in I}A_i$, $i, j \in I$, $y \in A_i$, and $z \in A_j$. By connectedness of $A_i$ and $A_j$, there exists paths $f \in C([0, 1]; X)$ from $y$ to $x$, and $g \in C([0, 1]; X)$ from $x$ to $z$. Thus the concatenation
+    \[
+    g \cdot f: [0, 1] \to X \quad t \mapsto \begin{cases}
+        f(2t) &t \in [0, 1/2] \\
+        g(2(t - 1/2)) &t \in [1/2, 1]
+    \end{cases}

+    is a path from $y$ to $z$.

+\begin{definition}[Path Component]
+\label{definition:path-component}
+    Let $X$ be a topological space and $A \subset X$ be path-connected, then there exists a unique path-connected set $C \supset A$ such that for any $C' \supset A$ path-connected, $C \supset C'$. The set $C$ is the \textbf{path-component} of $A$.
+\end{definition}
+\begin{proof}
+    Let $C$ be the union of all path-connected sets containing $A$, then $C$ is path-connected by \ref{proposition:path-connected-union} and the maximum path-connected set containing $A$ by definition.
