Non differentiability at the energy wells

From papers

Let X[0,1]QX\subset[0,1]\cap\mathbb Q be such that

(infθX{Q^mf(θ,z)})=Q^mf(z)\Big(\inf_{\theta\in X}\{\widehat Q_{\bf m}f(\theta,z)\}\Big)^{\ast\ast}=\widehat Q_{\bf m}f(z)

for all zz, and let θX\theta^\ast\in X be an energy well satisfying

(infθX{θ}{Q^mf(θ,z)})>Q^mf(z)\Big(\inf_{\theta\in X\setminus\{\theta^\ast\}}\{\widehat Q_{\bf m}f(\theta,z)\}\Big)^{\ast\ast}>\widehat Q_{\bf m}f(z)

for some zz. Non differentiability at the energy wells. The function θQmf(θ,z)\theta\mapsto Q_{\bf m}f(\theta,z) is not differentiable in zz at θ\theta^\ast. This concerns the regularity of the reduced energy with respect to the parameter θ\theta at essential energy wells, which are locking states; the source gives no resolution of this conjectural non-differentiability claim.
