Jun 21 at 11:40 comment added Pietro Majer If we knew that there exists at least one direction $v_0$ such that the directional derivatives $\frac{\partial f}{\partial v_0}(x,y,z)$ are continuous at the origin , one would conclude by the MVThm like in the Total Differential Thm. But I don’t see why they should be even locally bounded at $(0,0,0)$; not even in the simplest case $\{q=0\}=(0,0,0)$.
Jun 21 at 9:01 comment added Jan Bohr I've included continuity of $f$ into the conditions, then being rational (as in 1) should be well-defined. What I was thinking of was essentially extensions of the 2-dimensional example $xy^2/(x^2+y^2)$, where both polynomials are homogeneous of adjacent degrees and the only real zero of the denominator is at $0$.

Jun 17 at 6:33 comment added Pietro Majer I think such $f$ is at least Gateaux differentiable at the origin (that is, there exist a linear form $L$ such that for every $v\in\mathbb R^3$ there exists $\frac d{dt}f(tv)\big|_{t=0}=Lv$
Jun 16 at 21:44 comment added Pietro Majer how is f defined on the zero set of q ?
