I've just been taught that a two-variables function is called derivable if there exist ALL the directional derivatives.

I've also been taught that a two-variables function is named differentiable if there exist the two partial derivatives.

I wonder if a function can exist which has existing two partial derivative but not all the directional ones, making it differentiable, but not derivable.

Thanks

Yes. There exists, you can construct it. For example you can take the function: $f(x,y) = 0 \text{ for } x\ne y$ and $f(x,y) = |x| \text{otherwise}$. You can notice that for this function the partial derivatives exists but it can't be derived in the direction $v=(\sqrt{2}/2,\sqrt{2}/2)$

Anyway those are quite strange definitions. One usually says that a function of several variables is derivable if there exists all the partial derivatives, and differentiable (in a point $x_0 \in \Bbb{R}^n$ if there exist a linear operator $T: \Bbb{R}^n \to \Bbb{R}$ such that:

$\lim_{x \to x_0} \frac{|f(x_0 + x ) -f(x)-T(x-x_0)|}{|x-x_0|} =0$

Note that differentiability implies derivability (you cam show that the linear operator matches with the so called gradient of the function) but not the convers

    "Note that differentiability implies derivability " isn'it just the opposite....?! derivability implies differentiability ? if not I am just more confused... – 2017-01-10

    @f126ck differentiability, according to the definition that i gave, implies derivability. – 2017-01-10

    For example $f(x,y) = \frac{x^2y}{x^2 + y^2} \text{for} (x,y)\ne(0,0)$ and $f(0,0)=0$ has the two partial derivatives but it's not differentiable in(0,0) – 2017-01-10

    I've never heard “derivable” in English. The usual phrase is “partially differentiable”. – 2017-01-11
