For a C2C^2 function V on RnR^n and a bounded set B there is c >= 0 with (DV(x)-DV(y)).(x-y) >= -c|x-y|^2 for all x, y in B.

Statement

In the setting of Second-Order Equations on Euclidean Open Sets, let n≥1n\ge1 be a natural number and let V:Rn→RV:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R} be of class C2C^{2} on Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}, which is open by claim 1 of Euclidean Space is Open in Itself, and CkC^k Maps are Continuous. Let B⊆RnB\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n} be bounded.

Then there is a nonnegative c∈Rc\in\mathbb{R} such that

−c∥x−y∥2≤(DV(x)−DV(y))⋅(x−y)for all x,y∈B,-c\lVert x-y\rVert^{2}\le\bigl(DV(x)-DV(y)\bigr)\cdot(x-y)\qquad\text{for all }x,y\in B,

where ∥x−y∥2=∥x−y∥∥x−y∥\lVert x-y\rVert^{2}=\lVert x-y\rVert\lVert x-y\rVert.
