IF/: E-*• F and y: F->-G are C* maps of Banach spaces, then the composite gf: E->-G is a C" map. In this paper we discuss smoothness of the composition map, which associates with the pair (/, g) the composite gf, where/, g, and gf are regarded as elements in some appropriate Banach space. For example comp: C*-(E, F) x VC+<(F, G)-> & {E, G) is C8, where UGr+ e (F, G) is the space of uniformly C+* maps from F to G. Results of this type are well known and often used, but there seems to be no satisfactory reference for them. The one usually quoted is (1), but the situation is not quite as trivial as it there appears (in fact the relevant Theorem 3.7 of (1) is false, as the counter-example immediately following Corollary 7 below shows). We run through the theory in § 2, and include some discussion of uniformity of smoothness, which is often useful in applications. We give three such applications, each using the contracting map theorem (extended in § 3 by some results concerning dependence of the fixed point on a parameter). These are to the existence theorem for ordinary differential equations, Hartman's linearization theorem, and the stable manifold theorem. The first, in § 4, is basically Robbin's proof in (7), but the demonstration of smoothness of solutions with respect to initial position alone becomes even simpler than it is there. The proof of smoothness with respect to position and time together still needs an induction, but we give a new direct version of the inductive step. We also discuss dependence of solutions on a varying vector field. In § 5 we show that the Pugh-Moser method in (6) of proving Hartman's linearization theorem for lipeomorphisms may be made to give extra information when the maps are smooth. In brief, the conjugacy obtained, though not itself necessarily smooth, depends smoothly on the diffeomorphism being linearized. Finally in § 6 we improve the proof of the stable manifold theorem given in (3), and generalize it to deal with what might be termed relatively stable manifolds. Unfortunately the method seems only to give smoothness in the
