What are some examples of functions $f(x,y)$ satisfying the conditions below?
- $\displaystyle\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)} f(x,y)$ does not exist.
- $\displaystyle\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)} \frac{f(x,y)}{y}$ exists.
Is there any example which is not defined by parts? In other words, is there any example which does not have the form below? $$f(x,y)=\left\{\begin{align*} g(x,y)\text{ if...}\\ h(x,y)\text{ if...} \end{align*}\right.$$
I want this example to show that, despite giving the correct answer, the solution \begin{align*} \lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)} \frac{\sin(xy)}{x}&=\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)} y\cdot\frac{\sin(xy)}{xy}\\ &=\left(\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)} y\right)\cdot\left(\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)}\frac{\sin(xy)}{xy}\right)\\&=0\cdot\left(\lim_{u\to 0}\frac{\sin(u)}{u}\right)\\ &=0\cdot 1\\ &=0 \end{align*} is wrong (unless we know that the limit exists). So, what is the best example to illustrate that the manipulation $$\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)} f(x,y)=\lim_{(x,y)\to(0,0)} y\cdot \frac{f(x,y)}{y}$$ can fail?
