How to conclude from a homogeneous function $f$ of degree $1$ differentiable at $0$ that all norms are never...
$begingroup$
Assume the fact that a homogeneous function $f$ of degree 1 (i.e. a map from $E$ to $F$ such that $f(tx) = tf(x)$ for all $t > 0$) that is differentiable at $0$ is necessarily linear.
How do we conclude from this that all norms are never differentiable at the origin?

@Robert Oh I see, yes the norm is a homogeneous function of deg 1 and no it is not linear.

To illustrate the problem, let's prove the claim. Let $f : E to F$ be homogeneous of degree $1$ and differentiable at the origin. Hence there exists a bounded linear map $A : E to F$ such that
$$0 = lim_{hto 0} frac{f(0+h) - f(0) - Ah}{|h|} = lim_{hto 0} frac{f(h) - Ah}{|h|}$$
Note that $f(0) = 0$, this follows from $f(0) = f(t0) = tf(0), forall t > 0$.
Fix $x ne 0$. Taking $h = tx$ for $t > 0$ we get
$$0 = lim_{tto 0^+} frac{f(tx) - A(tx)}{|tx|} = lim_{tto 0^+} frac{tf(x) - tA(x)}{t|x|} = frac{f(x)-Ax}{|x|}$$
so $f(x) = Ax$. Therefore $f equiv A$ so it is linear.
The norm $|cdot|$ is homogeneous of degree $1$ but not linear so it cannot be differentiable at the origin.

To illustrate the problem, let's prove the claim. Let $f : E to F$ be homogeneous of degree $1$ and differentiable at the origin. Hence there exists a bounded linear map $A : E to F$ such that
$$0 = lim_{hto 0} frac{f(0+h) - f(0) - Ah}{|h|} = lim_{hto 0} frac{f(h) - Ah}{|h|}$$
Note that $f(0) = 0$, this follows from $f(0) = f(t0) = tf(0), forall t > 0$.
Fix $x ne 0$. Taking $h = tx$ for $t > 0$ we get
$$0 = lim_{tto 0^+} frac{f(tx) - A(tx)}{|tx|} = lim_{tto 0^+} frac{tf(x) - tA(x)}{t|x|} = frac{f(x)-Ax}{|x|}$$
so $f(x) = Ax$. Therefore $f equiv A$ so it is linear.
The norm $|cdot|$ is homogeneous of degree $1$ but not linear so it cannot be differentiable at the origin.
