Applied Analysis

Week Six

If $ g $ is a differentiable function at some point $ P $, then $ \partial_v g(P) = L\cdot v $ for every vector $ v $ in $ E_n $ such that $ \|v\| = 1 $.

The function $$ g(x,y) := \begin{cases} \frac{xy^2}{x^ 2 + y^2} & \text{ if } x^2 + y^2\neq 0\\ 0 &\text{ if } x = y = 0\end{cases}$$

is continuous, the partial derivatives exist on $ \mathbb{R}^ 2 $ and it is not differentiable at the origin. Here you can find some exercises. Please, also do exercises 4, 6 and 12 at page 74 of the book of M. Corral. The due date is 2014, October 14.
