If a function is differentiable inside a convex open set, and the function and its derivative admit a limit on the boundary, then the function is also differentiable at the boundary point. We give a general version of this statement, and specialize it to one-dimensional situations.
Motivation: in a later PR, I will show that
x -> exp(-1/x)
forx > 0
and0
otherwise is smooth, aiming at smooth partitions of unity. The only difficulty is to discuss its differentiability at0
, which is done thanks to the statements we prove here.
