Is it possible for there to be a function f:R→R defined on some interval (−ϵ,ϵ) for some ϵ>0 which is:
- continuous only at 0
- differentiable only at 0
If so, what would be the criteria for this? Or, is it required that for the derivative to exist at a point, the function must be continuous on some positive length interval containing that point?
Edit: Is there example of such function that doesn't make use of sets like "the rationals" or "the irrationals" in its definition?
Edit 2: What about some expression in x that only makes use of +,-,*,/, exponentiation, limits and infinite sequences. And, let's say you generate a sequence of such functions f1(x),f2(x),.... Can you find such a sequence of functions such that the limiting function is continuous and differentiable only at zero?
