Consider some $f: [0,1)\times [0,1)\to \mathbb{R}$. I'm interested in conditions that guarantee that the following iterated one-sided limits at $f(0,0)$ are equal: $$\lim_{x\to 0^+} \lim_{y\to 0^+} \frac{f(x,y)}{xy} \stackrel{?}{=} \lim_{y\to 0^+} \lim_{x\to 0^+} \frac{f(x,y)}{xy}$$ (We can assume that both limits exist.) This can be recognized as the exchange of "one-sided" partial derivatives. However, everything I have found (such as Rudin Theorem 9.41, etc.) considers $f$ defined on an open set, where regular (not one-sided) derivatives can be defined. Is there a set of simple condition for the above equality to hold? Is there a reference for this? (My thought right now is to "extend" $f$ to an open set $E \supset [0,1]\times[0,1]$ in a way that preserves the derivatives.)
