Mar 17, 2020 at 17:52 comment added user131781 There seems to be some misunderstanding here—we are not talking about regularity in the classical sense. $u$, as a locally integrable function, is a distribution and so has (distributional) derivatives of all orders. The point of the given definition is not to specify when a derivative exists but when this derivative is not just a distribution but even a (specific) locally integrable function, namely $v$. If $u_{xy}=0$, then $u$ is a sum $u_1(x)+u_2(y)$ (under suitable conditions on the domain) where the two summands are distributions of a single variable..

Mar 17, 2020 at 16:56 comment added Michael Renardy It is not true. Consider functions $u(x,y)$ which are independent of $x$. Then $u_{xy}=0$. But this does not tell you anything about the regularity of $u_y$.
