While the conventional "existence of a limit" in 1D is nice (and as a nice side effect gives us the derivative expression too), the general definition is more powerful and it is useful to contrast the two. …

Differentiability refers to the existence of a derivative while differentiation is the process of taking the derivative. It is like the difference between perceptibility and perception.

Dec 23, 2024 · The condition is satisfied because differentiability implies continuity. In fact, differentiability on a closed interval is different from that on an open interval.

Jan 18, 2017 · An excellent reference for the properties of Lipschitz functions is Lectures on Lipschitz Analysis by Juha Heinonen. The differentiability a.e. is Theorem 3.2, page 19. I state the steps of the …

Dec 11, 2024 · I think it is the definition of Gateaux differentiability simplified for two variable functions but I'm not sure. Also, the continuity of partial derivatives implies differentiability but not vice versa.

Ok, so in my notes it says Prop 1: If a function is differentiable, it will be continuous AND it will also have partial derivatives. Prop 2: If a function is continuous, or has partial derivative...

Aug 12, 2022 · As you said, this is equivalent to the 'usual' definition of (Frechet) differentiability, so from a logical perspective, there's nothing superior about one definition over another in this case.

Why does differentiability imply continuity, but continuity does not mean differentiability? I am more interested in the part about a continuous function not being differentiable.

Jul 20, 2019 · Thanks for this answer. Would you happen to have a resource that would help me practise using this definition? and proving differentiability of functions of two variables?
