The differentiability properties of the metric projections onto the cones of nonnegative functions in Lp(0,1)L^p(0,1) and in W1,p(0,1)W^{1,p}(0,1) are considered. It is shown that the metric projection mapping is Bouligand differentiable in Lp(0,1)L^p(0,1), but it is not Bouligand differentiable in W1,p(0,1)W^{1,p}(0,1).
