Does there exist a bijective differentiable function $f:\mathbb{R^+}\rightarrow \mathbb{R^+}$, whose derivative is not a continuous function?
$x^2\sin \dfrac{1}{x}$ is a good example for non-continuous derivative function, that will not work here, I guess.
Answer
The function
$$f(x):=x^2\left(2+\sin{1\over x}\right)+8x\quad(x\ne0), \qquad f(0):=0,$$
is differentiable and strictly increasing for $x\geq-1$, and its derivative is not continuous at $x=0$. Translate the graph of $f$ one unit $\to$ and eight units $\uparrow$, and you have your example.
