What is an example where it's Riemann integrable int(f(t),t,a,x) but no derivative exists at certain pts?
The discussion revolves around identifying examples of functions that are Riemann integrable but lack a derivative at certain points. The scope includes theoretical aspects of integration and differentiation, as well as specific examples illustrating these concepts.
Participants present multiple examples and viewpoints regarding the relationship between Riemann integrability and differentiability. There is no consensus on the differentiability of F(x) = ∫_0^x |t| dt at x = 0, as one participant corrects their earlier claim while another questions it.
Some examples rely on specific definitions of continuity and differentiability, and the discussion includes functions with various types of discontinuities. The implications of these properties on integrability are explored but not fully resolved.
HallsofIvy said:Those two examples also have the property that while F(x)= \int f(t)dt is defined, F(x) itself has no dervative at x= 0.
