Discontinuous derivative

Basic calculus
Calculus
Examples of continuous, differentiable functions with discontinuous derivative. #### First example Consider the function (blue curve) $$f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, x \mapsto \cases{ x^2\sin(1/x),& $x\neq 0$\cr 0,& $x=0$. } $$ $f$ is a continuous and differentiable function. The derivative of $f$ is the function (red curve) $$ f': \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, x \mapsto \cases{ 2x\sin(1/x) - \cos(1/x), & $x \neq 0$\cr 0,& $x=0$. } $$ We observe that $f'(0) = 0$, but $\lim_{x\to0}f'(x)$ does not exist. Therefore, $f'$ is an example of a derivative which is not continuous. #### Second example $$ g: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, x \mapsto \cases{ x^2(1-x)^2\sin( \frac{1}{\pi x(1-x)}),& $0 < x < 1$\cr 0,& otherwise }\,. $$ Here, the derivative is not continuous for $x=0$ and $x=1$.
