A Lipschitz function is $C^1$?

645 Views Asked by At

I am wondering if a Lipschitz function $f:[a,b]\to\mathbb{R}$ is $C^1$, that is its derivative is also continuous? I have seen that in a text however I could not prove it and does not seem so obvious for me!

Any suggestion?

The answer is negative. Take, for example, $f(x)=|x|$. Then $$ |f(x)-f(y)|=||x|-|y||\le|x-y| $$ and hence $f$ is Lipschitz. However, it is not differentiable at $x=0$.
