Is $f(x)=sqrt x$ locally Lipschitz continuous everywhere?



It is definitely not (globally) Lipschitz continuous. I wonder if it is locally Lipschitz continuous at $x=0$.

          Hint: Consider any interval $[0,varepsilon)$ where $varepsilon > 0$. For $x,yin [0,varepsilon)$, with $x < y$, we have
          $$begin{align*}
          frac{|f(x)- f(y)|}{|x-y|} &= frac{sqrt{y} - sqrt{x}}{y - x}\
          &= frac{1}{sqrt{y}+sqrt{x}}.
          end{align*}$$
          Can you show that this can be made arbitrarily large, and if so, what can you conclude?

            My guess: if we bound $x,yin[0,a]$ then the answer is "yes", so $f(x)$ is not locally lipschitz. If we bound $x,yin(0,a]$ then the answer is "no."

            Even if $x,y>0$, we can make $frac{1}{sqrt{y}+sqrt{x}}$ arbitrarily large. For example take $x= frac{1}{N+1}$ and $y = frac{1}{N}$ for some $N$ sufficiently large.
