“…Proof. The necessity of the condition (SCW is convex and of class C 1,1 (X) with Lip(∇ F ) ≤ M − c and ( F , ∇ F ) = ( f , G) on E. If we consider the function F := F + c 2 · 2 , Lemma 11 says that (F, ∇F ) satisfies condition (SCW 1,1 ) with constants (c, M ) on X (because ( F , ∇ F ) satisfies (CW 1,1 ) with constant M − c on X) and (F, ∇F ) = (f, G) on E. It is obvious that F − c 2 · 2 is convex on X and, by Remark 10 (2), Lip(∇F ) ≤ M. Finally, if H is a function of class C 1,1 (X) such that (H, ∇H) = (f, G) on E, Lip(∇H) ≤ M and H := H − c 2 · 2 is convex, then it is easy to see (using the same calculations as in the proof of Proposition 12 (2)) that Lip(∇ H) ≤ M − c, and obviously ( H, ∇ H) = ( f , G) on E. We thus have from [3,Theorem 2.4] that H ≤ F on X, and therefore H ≤ F on X.…”
