Dec 11, 2023 at 13:34 comment added elmas @PietroMajer You are correct; this is what I wanted to understand. As you mentioned, the map is not even continuous in the general case.

Dec 10, 2023 at 17:57 comment added Pietro Majer I don’t know… maybe the question was: prove that it is differentiable at u in the domain of F if u is also in $L^2$ etc (then I guess the answer would be no, it is not even continuous wrto the $L^\infty$ topology)
Dec 10, 2023 at 16:33 comment added Iosif Pinelis @PietroMajer : Thank you for your comments. Concerning your first comment: If a function $F$ takes an infinite value at some point $u$ (and also at some point in every neighborhood of $u$), how would we define a derivative of $F$ at $u$? I think we would then have to deal with something like $\infty-\infty$.
Dec 10, 2023 at 15:43 comment added Pietro Majer I like so much the conclusion
Dec 10, 2023 at 15:42 comment added Pietro Majer Maybe the OP means $\overline{\mathbb R}$ as a codomain of $F$… ? the whole question is unclear
