I would like to construct a function f:R2↦R discontinuous at the origin but satisfy the following:
limx→0f(x,mx)=f(0),limy→0f(my,y)=f(0)∀m∈R
That is a function “continuous” along all the lines at a point but still not continuous.
Answer
Let g:S1→R be an unbounded function. Then set
f(x,y)=rg(xr,yr) where r:=√x2+y2 (and set f(0,0)=0). This function is not continuous at the origin, but has the desired property.
A bit more explicitly:
Define h:R→R, h(x)={x+1x∈Qxx∉Q
and then
f(x,y)={0x=0√x2+y2⋅h(yx)x≠0
is nowhere continuous and has the desired property
