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 ability to take the derivative of a function and differentiation is the act of taking the derivative.

And if the definition of differentiability at a point requires to be defined on an open interval of the point, the definition of differentiability on a set can only be stated for sets for which every point is contained …

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?

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.

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 …

Differentiability means that the function has a derivative at a point. Continuity means that the limit from both sides of a value is equal to the function's value at that point.

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.

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.
