Not equal mixed second partial derivative on an open connected set?

183 Views Asked by At

It is all known that there are some functions whose mixed second parital derivatives exist but not equal at a single point, I am thinking what is about on a connected set.

To be clear, Is there any function $f$ defined on an open connected set $D\subset \mathbf{R}^2$ such that

  1. For all $(x,y)\in D$, $$\frac{\partial f}{\partial x},\frac{\partial f}{\partial y},\frac{\partial ^2f}{\partial x\partial y},\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y\partial x}$$ exist.
  2. For all $(x,y)\in D$, $$ \frac{\partial ^2f}{\partial x\partial y}\neq \frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial y\partial x}.$$
