Abstract

We show that no matter what subset of a normed space is given, a typical 1-Lipschitz mapping into a Banach space is non-differentiable at a typical point of the set in a very strong sense: the derivative ratio approximates, on arbitrary small scales, every linear operator of norm at most 1. For subsets of finite-dimensional normed spaces which can be covered by a countable union of closed purely unrectifiable sets this extreme non-differentiability holds for a typical Lipschitz mapping at every point.

Both results are new even for Lipschitz mappings with a finite-dimensional co-domain.
