Abstract

In a recent article (2022) we proved with L. Zaj\'i\v{c}ek that if GRn G\subset\R^n is an unbounded open convex set that does not contain a translation of a convex cone with non-empty interior, then there exist f:GR f:G\to\R and a concave modulus ω \omega such that limtω(t)= \lim_{t\to\infty}\omega(t)=\infty , f f is both semiconvex and semiconcave with modulus ω \omega and fC1,ω(G) f\notin C^{1,\omega}(G) . Here we improve the previous result as follows: If G G is as above and ω(t)=tα \omega(t)=t^{\alpha} for some α(0,1) \alpha\in(0,1) , then there exists f:GR f:G\to\R that is both semiconvex and semiconcave with modulus ω \omega and fC1,α(G) f\notin C^{1,\alpha}(G) . This result has immediate consequences concerning a first-order quantitative converse Taylor theorem and the problem whether fC1,α(G) f\in C^{1,\alpha}(G) whenever f f is smooth in a corresponding sense on all lines.
