Is there an example of a function f:R2→R, with f(0,0)=0, that is Gâteaux differentiable (all directional derivatives exist) and continuous at (0,0), but is not Fréchet differentiable at (0,0)?
Edit: By Gâteaux differentiable, I use the definition that the Gâteaux derivative is not required to be a linear map, but just all the directional derivatives to exist in all directions.
Answer
Let f:R2→R be given by
f(x,y)={xx≠0,y=x2,0else.
This function is directionally differentiable (with a linear derivative) and continuous in (0,0).
With your definition of Gâteaux differentiability, you can even use any norm on R2, e.g.,
f(x,y)=√x2+y2
or
f(x,y)=|x|+|y|.
