I am interested in this question:
Find a differentiable convex function such that its derivative is not continuous.
I found out that we cannot find such function if its domain is R, since every differentiable convex function f:R→R is continuously differentiable (as proved here).
Therefore we have to look for multivariable functions, but it is not an easy work.
Thank you very much.
Answer
Suppose Ω⊂Rn is an open convex set, and f:Ω→R is a differentiable convex function. Then ∇f is continuous on Ω.
This is a theorem, for example, in Convex Analysis by Rockafellar, page 246.
