Suppose that f is differentiable at ( 0 , 0 ). Then the derivative would be 0 since
lim h 0 | f ( h , 0 ) | | h | = 0 = lim h 0 | f ( 0 , h ) | | h | .
On the other hand,
lim ( h , h ) 0 | f ( h , h ) f ( 0 , 0 ) 0 | | ( h , h ) | = 1 2 ,
which reveals that
lim ( h , k ) 0 | f ( h , k ) f ( 0 , 0 ) 0 | | ( h , k ) | 0
and therefore, f is not differentiable at ( 0 , 0 ).
