Let $X_1,\cdots ,X_n$ be Banach spaces and $f$ a real function on $X=X_1\times \cdots \times X_n$. Let $A_f$ be the set of all points $x\in X$ at which $f$ is partially Fréchet differentiable but is not Fréchet differentiable. Our results imply that if $X_1,\cdots ,X_{n-1}$ are Asplund spaces and $f$ is continuous (respectively Lipschitz) on $X$, then $A_f$ is a first category set (respectively a $\sigma$-upper porous set). We also prove that if $X$, $Y$ are separable Banach spaces and $f:X\to Y$ is a Lipschitz mapping, then there exists a $\sigma$-upper porous set $A\subset X$ such that $f$ is Fréchet differentiable at every...
