Abstract

D. Preiss proved that the graph of the derivative of a continuous Gateaux-differentiable function f : R-2 -> R is always connected. We show that this is no longer true in higher dimensions: we construct a continuous; Gateaux-differentiable function f : R-3 -> R for which the range of its gradient mapping {del f (x) : x epsilon R-3} is disconnected. We also give an example of an approximately differentiable continuous function on R-2 such that the range of its gradient mapping is disconnected.
