Comparison applied in both directions gives equality on V, and two continuous functions agreeing on a dense subset agree everywhere.

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 §solution 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,Cu1(x),u2(x)C,Cu2(x)for every xH.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 §comparison 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 xVx\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 xVx\in V. Hence u1(x)=u2(x)u_{1}(x)=u_{2}(x) for every xVx\in V.

The subspace VV is nonempty and dense in HH by Hilbert Triples: Standing Notation and Background §triple, and u1u_{1} and u2u_{2} are continuous on HH, so Extension of a Uniformly Continuous Real Function from a Dense Subset §uniqueness, 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 xHx\in H.
