Comparison in both directions gives equality on V, and continuity together with density of V extends it to H.

Proof

Each result cited is universally quantified over the data in its own statement.

By Viscosity Subsolution, Supersolution and Solution of a Second-Order Equation on a Hilbert Triple (iii) each of u1u_{1} and u2u_{2} is both a viscosity subsolution and a viscosity supersolution of FF on HH. By claim 6 of Properties of the Absolute Value in an Ordered Field, the hypotheses ∣u1(x)∣≤C|u_{1}(x)|\le C and ∣u2(x)∣≤C|u_{2}(x)|\le C give

u1(x)≤C,−C≤u1(x),u2(x)≤C,−C≤u2(x)for every x∈H.u_{1}(x)\le C,\quad -C\le u_{1}(x),\quad u_{2}(x)\le C,\quad -C\le u_{2}(x)\qquad\text{for every }x\in H .

Apply A Comparison Principle on a Hilbert Triple under the First-Order Structure Condition (ii) with u1u_{1} as the subsolution, u2u_{2} as the supersolution and the constant CC: it gives u1(x)≤u2(x)u_{1}(x)\le u_{2}(x) for every x∈Vx\in V. Applying it again with the roles of u1u_{1} and u2u_{2} exchanged gives u2(x)≤u1(x)u_{2}(x)\le u_{1}(x) for every x∈Vx\in V. Hence u1(x)=u2(x)u_{1}(x)=u_{2}(x) for every x∈Vx\in V.

The subspace VV is nonempty and dense in HH by Hilbert Triples: Standing Notation and Background (i), and u1u_{1} and u2u_{2} are continuous on HH, so Extension of a Uniformly Continuous Real Function from a Dense Subset (ii), applied in the metric space (H,dH)(H,d_{H}) with the dense subset VV, gives u1(x)=u2(x)u_{1}(x)=u_{2}(x) for every x∈Hx\in H.
