Separation property of continuously differentiable functions

Sažetak

We show that every continuously differentiable function in several variables with a global Lipschitz derivative on a compact convex set with interior points has a separation property. It separates two classes of quadratic functions given in terms of either the function's convexifiers or its concavifiers. The separation is used to obtain new global characterizations of the derivative and zero derivative points.
